Today we’ll briefly introduce the common beam lengths and upright heights of heavy duty racking. Of course, our dimensions can be customized to the size of your warehouse. Having worked with many clients, we have some common and universal dimensions, such as the beam length, which is most commonly 2700mm. This length is quite flexible, allowing for either three pallets per layer or two pallets per layer.
When the pallet’s fork entry direction is 1200mm, two pallets can be placed per layer, leaving a small gap between each pallet for easy forklift handling. Another common type is the European standard pallet, with an 800mm fork entry direction, allowing three pallets per layer. For lighter layer loads, a 100*50*1.5 welded beam is suitable; for loads around 2 tons, a 120*50*1.5 welded beam is recommended. For heavier layer loads, a 140*50*1.5 welded beam is commonly chosen; and for loads of three tons or more, we will provide four claws beams for clients.
Having briefly introduced the beams, let’s now discuss the common dimensions of the uprights. 3600mm, 4575mm, 5025mm, and 6000mm are all commonly used, so we’ll use the middle value of 4575mm for our explanation. Racking at this height typically has two layers of beams, three layers of pallets, plus one layer above the ground. If the customer’s goods are relatively short, it might be three layers of beams and four layers of pallets. The uprights are usually made of 80*60*2.0mm material; if they are heavier, 90*70*2.0mm can be chosen.
Therefore, many of our customers regularly purchase 2700mm beams and 4575mm uprights for resale. As a professional racking manufacturer, we offer our customers competitive prices.

We will do our best to provide you with excellent service, competitive pricing, and most importantly, high quality racking products.
