Question about the products
Essentially, any “safe height” can be the maximum height of your pallet racking system. We say this because there are no hard and fast rules that determine how far you can build this racking system. Many variables like the following determine the height:
- Building infrastructure
- Size and reach of the forklifts
- System’s load capacity
- Weight of load units
- Height of the warehouse
- Type of sprinkler system
- Structure of the roof
- Floor loading capacity
If you stack the pallets too high, you will optimize your storage capacity, but your forklifts will not reach that far enough. Standard forklifts can reach a maximum height of 4 to 4.5 meters. Specialized forklifts can reach up to ten meters, but they are highly expensive. Another factor determining how far your pallet racking can go depends on the type of goods stored at your facility. High pallets are ideal for small stock. However, large and bulky cargo must be stored lower down for safety.
Here again, the load-bearing capacity of your pallet racking system depends on factors like:
- Size of racking frames
- Load beam options
- Vertical beam pitch
- Upright frame options
- Size of bay clear entry
- Actual beam depth
- Size of the beam face and racking frames
- Weight of the floor slab
- Flooring and anchoring options
Today, three different types of pallet racking frames are available- standard, heavy-duty, and medium. However, you can also ask your rack manufacturer to reinforce your pallet racking system with structural components to improve its stability.
