MECO OMAHA Structural Pallet Racks are designed in accordance with AISC and RMI Standards. Its beams are secured to the upright frames with plated, heavy duty bolts and nuts— which cannot be dislodged by forklift impact. The pallet rack installation is fast and easy with no special tools required.

A wide range of frame heights, depths, beam lengths and load capacities is available to meet the most demanding storage requirements. Custom pallet rack is designed by a dedicated engineering staff using state-of the- art CAD technology and years of experience. Select the height of upright frames according to existing ceiling heights, sprinkler systems, and forklift limitations.

When selecting the appropriate beam length, add a minimum of 10" to two pallet widths or 14" to three pallet widths. Additional spacing may be required for pallets with excessive load overhang. Using the Load Beam Table of Capacity, select the pair of beams of the proper length and capacity making sure not to overload the beams.

NOTE: Capacities are based on a uniformly distributed load over a pair of beams and are in accordance with AISC and RMI Standards. Deflection does not exceed 1/180 of the beam length. Load beams and related beam braces are sold as an integral unit.

Specifications:
• Upright frames and load beams are fabricated from structural channel with a minimum yield of 36,000 PSI.
• All-welded uprights provide storage capacity up to 52,200 lbs. per frame.
• The stated capacity of upright frames is based on a maximum vertical beam spacing of 60 inches.
• A vertical beam spacing of less than 60 inches will result in the same stated capacity.
• The vertical beam spacing includes the distance from the floor to the top of the lowest pair of load beams.
• Frame depth is determined by the length of the pallet: Standard pallet overhang is 3 inch front and back.
• If a vertical beam spacing greater than 60 inches is required, contact Material Flow to determine upright frame capacity. Special bracket for beams allows 2" adjustability up and down the frame. Frames are punched on 4 inch centers for maximum beam adjustability.
