Considerations
- Weight Distribution: Proper loading is critical. Weight must be distributed evenly across the arms to prevent structural stress or tipping.
- Aisle Space: Since the stored items are often very long, you need wider aisles to allow forklifts enough room to turn and maneuver the load.
- Floor Strength: The base concentrates a lot of weight onto a small area of the floor; a thick, reinforced concrete slab is usually required.
How It Works
- Main Components: It consists of a heavy-duty base, vertical upright columns, and horizontal arms that extend outward.
- Open-Front Design: Because there are no front pillars, items can be stored across the entire length of the row without being restricted by the width of a traditional “bay.”
- Load Bearing: The arms are designed to support heavy weights and can be adjusted vertically to accommodate different product heights.
Ideal For
- Construction Supply: Rebar, plywood, drywall, and lumber.
- Manufacturing: Metal sheets, industrial tubing, and heavy machinery parts.
- Furniture Warehouses: Large sofas, mattresses, or unassembled table tops.
