SK2500 Bolt-Connection Pallet Rack
Tubular
columns and bolted connections for greater rigidity in heavy duty applications
While boltless pallet rack
like SK2000 serves many applications, the extra strength and
safety of a bolted connection is sometimes desirable. As an
example, in drive-in, pushback, die storage, coil storage, or
flow rack installations, bolted connections add security to the
rack structure. For these installations, we recommend bolt
connection pallet rack.
 Tubular
Bolted Pallet Rack Upright Frames
Bolted rack
columns are constructed of closed structural tubing. This
allows for 44 times more resistance to torsional fork
truck impact loads than "roll formed" columns.
Fully adjustable with 2" vertical
increments for beam placement. Limited adjustability also
available.
Holes are placed on the column's
sides, not the corners, minimizing strength loss.
A formed ridge on the column's face
provides additional steel surface area, increasing
cross-section strength and rigidity.
Full diagonal and horizontal bracing
provides increased frame rigidity.
All-tubular bracing offers greater
frame strength. Over 44 times more torsional strength
than open sheet metal channels.
Heavy 10-gauge footpads are welded
directly to the uprights, dispersing the column load more
efficiently than conventional lighter footpads.
A formed ridge on the footpad allows
for easy nesting of shim plates.
Multiple anchor holes on footpads,
allowing for re-anchoring.
Footpads are flush with the column's
side, allowing for full "seating" of floor
level load beams.
Welds between braces and column are
full fillet welds, providing more strength than
spot-welds. Over 4" of weld is used on each end of
every horizontal brace.
Step
Load Beams
-
Step beams feature a 1-5/8" step
for decking or pallet support bar positioning.
-
Constructed of high-strength (55,000 p.s.i. minimum) steel. Capacities are based on minimum
steel strength, not the average. Actual capacity for the
beams is equal to or greater than listed capacities.
-
Step beams are constructed of
continuously welded structural tubing.
-
There are no ledges or cracks to catch
pallets, trap moisture or debris.
Channel
Load Beams
-
Load beams with structural channel
construction offer extra durability.
-
Channel beams are constructed of
high-strength (50,000 p.s.i. minimum) steel. Capacities
are based on minimum steel strength, not the average.
Actual capacity is equal to or greater than listed
capacities.
Beam
Connections
-
Connections are constructed of high-strength grade-5 hardware (bolts
& nuts) for a strong, adjustable
-
connection.
-
Adjacent beam levels utilize common
hardware reducing the number of nuts and bolts.
-
With the strength of bolted
connections, separate safety locks are not needed.
-
Connections can be made quickly with
standard tools, reducing installation, time and cost.
