Lyon’s teardrop design pallet rack offers a totally enclosed and welded upright tube that is 20% stronger than traditional open back upright systems. The pallet rack is also interchangeable with all major teardrop-style products on the market today.

Complete Flexibility in Rack Height and Width
• Stock upright posts are available in 96", 120", 144", 168" and 192"; heights.
• Stock beams are available in 96", 108", 120", and 144" lengths.

Accessorize your Pallet Rack
• It is easy to tailor your pallet rack to meet your individual requirements.

Upright Posts

Unique Design
• 35 different stock upright sizes in Light, Medium, Heavy-Duty and Extra-Heavy Duty.
• All uprights are punched with tempered keyhole slots every 2".
• Enclosed upright tube provides greater strength-to weight ratio.
• Minimum-sized slots mean more steel per upright.
• Upright structures are 100% mig-welded with precision K-brace and heavy-duty cross channel reinforcement.

Easy Adjustment
• Tapered keyhole slots on 2" centers.
• No "dead spots" or obstructions in upright posts to impede movement of beam along the entire height.

Interchangeable
• Lyon pallet racks fit with other traditional teardrop designs.

Choose light, medium, heavy duty or extra heavy-duty stock uprights to suit your storage requirements. The light and medium duty upright posts are 3" wide x 1 5/8" deep, heavy and extra heavy-duty upright posts are 3" square. Two upright frames are required per bay and any number may be joined together in continuous row applications. The uprights conform to standards set by the 1997 Rack Manufacturers' Institute LRFD Specifications.

How To Order Uprights
1. Compute total frame capacity needed to satisfy your load requirements.
2. Determine height required from floor to first beam or maximum beam spacing. If the figures are different from our examples, use the next larger dimension.
3. Refer to bottom of upright capacity chart. Reading left-to-right, locate dimension from floor to first beam or maximum beam spacing. From the beam spacing dimension, move vertically up the chart to weight capacity required for your maximum load. Moving to the right, locate the first upright capacity curve that intersects your required weight capacity. Follow curve down and across to determine correct upright post type.
4. Refer to appropriate ordering information (light, medium, heavy or extra heavy-duty) for dimensional information and select from the available sizes.

Lyon Beams

Beams are available in:
• 96" (2,800 to 7,000 lbs.)
• 108" (300 to 6,350 lbs.)
• 120" (5,200 to 8,300 lbs.)
• 144" (5,174 to 8,330 lbs.)
• Safety orange finish aids forklift operators in placement of pallets.

Beam Ordering Information: Stock beams are available in clear spans from 96" to 144" with capacities from 2,800 lbs. to 8,330 lbs. per pair. These roll-formed beams feature an integrated 1 5/8" step for decking and are totally enclosed for clean applications. Heavy-duty rivet-type connectors engage upright wedge slots for increased holding power. The safety catch locks into place when beams are properly positioned. Beams are easy to assemble, disassemble and relocate.

How To Order Beams
1. Determine load weights per pair of beams (two 2,500 lb. pallet loads = 5,000 lb. beam capacity).
2. Determine length of beam required based on load width and minimum clearances (minimum clearance between pallets and pallet to upright is 4", or for two 48" pallets, a total of 12". Use 108" beam).
3. Refer to desired beam length and move across chart to rated capacities. (For 108" beam and 5,000 lb. load select beam LBS-435-L108.)
4. Using type of beam (Light, Medium or Heavy) and length of beam required, determine stock product number from ordering information.

NOTE: Beams 120" long and greater should be tied together with at least one front-to-back support except when solid decking panels are used. The beams conform to the standards set by the 1997 Rack Manufacturers' Institute LRFD Specifications.
