How to Measure Your Pallet Rack

Although you might work with pallet racking every day, you might not have ever taken the time to actually consider all the components that go into the construction of the strong and durable pallet rack you depend on. In fact, there are a number of different parts to a pallet rack storage system, each of which work together to form a structurally sound pallet rack. These components include:

There are other components as well, such as:

  • The Speedrack Spring Clip
  • The Ridg-U-Rak Spring Clip
  • The pallet rack Universal Drop Pin

All of these components play a vital role in the function and success of a pallet rack system.

Size Matters

Whether you’re buying a new pallet rack system or are considering adding on to your existing system, you’re going to need to know the measurements of your pallet racks. Because everyone’s storage needs are unique, it is important to know how to measure your pallet racks in order to be able to store the proper size and amount of freight.

Measuring Techniques

Due to the fact that there are several components to a pallet rack system, you’ll need to know the measurements of all three of the major parts: the upright beam, the cross beam, and the wire decking. At AK Material handling we can help you determine those measurements so you can be confident that you are storing the proper amount of freight.

You need to consider several measurements as part of your numbers, including the frame height and depth, as well as the beam length. The depth should be six inches less than the pallet. To get the correct height, you should measure from the top of the frame to the bottom of the frame. To find the correct width, your measurement should be from the outside edge to the opposite outside edge. For beams, it’s important to measure from the inside of the connectors, rather than include the connector.
