Tear Drop Pallet Rack

RUR Tear Drop Pallet Rack

This week’s #RackArt image is a cool perspective of a Ridg-U-Rak Tear Drop pallet rack frame. Did you know that Ridg-U-Rak’s Tear Drop Pallet Rack is compatible with virtually all existing “tear drop” style rack connections, both new and old? That is a huge convenience, not to mention the ease of assembly and rack adjustability of the boltless Tear Drop Pallet Rack systems.

Ridg-U-Rak has been manufacturing pallet rack out of their Pennsylvania plant for over 70 years. Their Tear Drop pallet rack features a six bend column and 100% welded uprights and the design of their beam-to-column connection can work side-by-side with both slotted and structural pallet rack designs. What makes Ridg-U-Rak so reliable? It is their center reinforcing rib that allows for heavier bracing and larger column sizes for superior impact resistance. Another advantage of using Ridg-U-Rak, is their handy repair kit. It offers your customer the convenience of making a repair without having to unload the rack, saving time and labor resources.

Ridg-U-Rak frames come in bundles of 18, stagger stacked with foot plates on each opposite end. When shipped, they are loaded on end maximizing the amount of frames that can fit into a truck or van, giving a competitive advantage when quoting freight. WPRP offers a discount for full bundle quantity, so be sure to ask about the discount when ordering.

If you look closely at the #RackArt, you will notice square notches along both sides. These are commonly known as “accessory holes”. Some accessories that fit these holes are row spacers, wall ties and bolted load stop beams.

Although standard colors for Ridg-U-Rak are Forest Green and Safety Orange, they offer a rainbow of powder coating options to go with your customer’s logo or company colors. Having the option of custom colors is a benefit, but may require longer lead times.

It is vital to have the proper pallet rack capacities to ensure the pallet rack system does not fail. This helpful guide, and a complete knowledge of what your customer is loading, will give you the tools you need to order the proper system for your customer.
