As we all know, heavy duty racking lengths can be customized, but there are also some common sizes. For example, a length of 2700mm is quite common. If pallets with 1200 fork entry are used, the rack length is exactly 2700mm, leaving some space on the left and right to accommodate the pallets. If European standard pallets are used, the fork entry is usually 800mm. In this case, three pallets are usually placed on each layer. Taking into account the space on the left and right, the length is usually 2700mm. Therefore, 2700mm is one of the most common lengths for heavy duty pallet racking. Different layer loads require different materials.
Of course, different load capacities require different materials. Common 2700mm-long racks have three load levels. The first is 1000kg per layer. In this case, the cargo is lighter, typically 500kg per pallet. Crossbars typically use 80*50*1.5mm double-C welded beams. The second is 1500kg per layer, requiring 100*50*1.5mm double-C welded beams. Finally, the most common 2000kg per layer, with each pallet carrying approximately 1000kg, requires larger crossbars, typically 120*50*1.5mm double-C welded beams. We typically choose welded beams for our customers. These are composed of two C-shaped beams joined together, offering a higher load capacity.
The three scenarios listed above are the most common. Some customers require heavier loads, such as 2.5 tons per layer or 3 tons per layer, and we can also provide corresponding designs. For 3 tons per layer, we typically select 140*50*1.5mm welded beams. Of course, we can also accommodate heavier load requirements by selecting larger or thicker welded beams.
For the beams of heavy duty rack, we usually choose heavy duty three-column claws. If the single layer load is heavier, reaching 3 tons per layer, or more than 3 tons, we usually provide customers with four-column claws, which have a more stable structure and better load bearing capacity.
