Pallet racking, designed around how your stock moves.

Components common to our racking

Whatever the configuration, our racking is assembled from the same engineered family of parts, all manufactured under the LOADMASTER brand.

• Load beams. Step beams carry a rolled step along the top inside edge to seat pallet supports and wire decks. Box beams present four flat sides. Both mount to the upright column on integral rivets or hooks, locked with a clip or bolt.
• Upright frames. Open back roll formed columns punched at standard pitch, laced with welded diagonal and horizontal bracing. Structural C section columns are used where beam capacity demands it.
• Pallet supports. Roll formed channels set front to back between load beams to carry undersized or damaged pallets.
• Wire decking. Fitted where loose product or small cartons could otherwise fall through the structure.
• Footplates and levelling plates. The fixing point to the slab, packed where the floor surface runs out of tolerance.
• Protection. Column guards, rack protectors and beam safety clips, sized to the forklift traffic in the aisle.

Very narrow aisle

Very narrow aisle is selective racking set in a tighter configuration to lift pallet positions per square metre. It runs with wire guided or rail guided reach trucks. A wire guided system uses a wire cast into the slab. A rail guided system uses angle bolted down the length of each row.

Rack supported buildings

Structural pallet racking can be designed into the building itself, with the upright columns carrying the roof. The racking replaces the vertical support structure of the building. We design and manufacture these systems in conjunction with your engineer and certifier.

Load signage and compliance

Maintenance and load safety signs are a mandatory requirement on every new pallet racking system accessed by a forklift, or where the top beam level sits higher than 2400mm from the ground. We fit them at handover.
