Best Racking System DesignAvailable sizes:*

  • Shelf widths from 26"
  • Shelf depths from 24" to 144"*

*Additional supports may be needed.

Materials:

  • Constructed of high strength galvanized steel
  • Each level requires 2 end channels custom cut to the width of the rack, and 2 cross channels for each 13" of rack width

Cross Channels:

  • 2.5" wide storage surface per channel
  • Available to fit 1 5/8" or 1 1/2" step beams with flush fit
  • 4" open space between channels

End Channels:

  • .75" x .75" x .75"
  • Nests perfectly in rack step beams

Open Area:

  • The shelf itself is in excess of 60 percent open. Once installed, all possible configurations of shelf installation have open area in excess of 50 percent, including depths from 30-100" and all rack widths.
  • Open area is calculated based on NFPA 2010 Section 3.9.3.8 - "The area of a solid shelf is defined by perimeter aisle or flue space on all four sides. Shelves, or wire mesh, slates, or other materials more than 50 percent open and where the flue spaces are maintained shall be defined as open racks."
  • Once installed, our product is always more than 50 percent open. Unlike other manufacturers, we do not exclude the perimeter of our shelf from the calculations and we always include the support beams (as required by NFPA).

Snap Together Design:

  • The cross channels are attached to the end channels by a snap together mechanism. Once fastened, the design prevents the cross channel from moving in any direction.
