FAQs

Why shouldn’t we mix different manufacturer’s pallet rack beams in the same bays?

First, mixing material from different manufacturer’s voids the manufacturer’s warranty.  Second, each manufacturer has a different length tolerance when manufacturing their pallet rack beams.  Even an 1/8” of a difference in the length of the beam could cause issues installing the beams.

What is the difference between U-Channel and Flared wire deck?

U-Channel Wire Deck is manufactured to fit roll form beams with a step on the inside of the beam.  The U-Channel on the deck fits into the step.  Flared Wire Deck is manufactured to fit box beams or structural beams that do not have a step on the beam.  For more information, send us an e-mail.

Why don’t we give capacity on used material?

Many times, the manufacturer and model number of used pallet rack aren’t available, so capacities are unavailable.  In addition, used material is being paired up with different manufacturers which voids all capacity ratings.  Only new material, sold as a system, will have capacity ratings.
