The main components and accessories of compact drive in pallet racking system
Upper longitudinal beam
The upper longitudinal beam joins the frames in the upper area crosswise, to secure the structure by creating gantries. The beams must be placed in all the compact racking aisles.
Horizontal brace
The horizontal brace is a metal component that reinforces the compact structure and is located at the top.
Frame
The frame is one of the basic elements of compact drive in racking. These frames consist of 2 uprights, their corresponding diagonals, baseplates, and fixing elements.
Forklift guide rail
This is a steel rail at floor level that runs along the whole aisle. Its objective is to guide the forklift when it enters the structure and protect it against possible impacts. It helps to separate the forklift from the drive in compact racking.
Frame and upright protection
The frame and upright protectors protect the installation from possible damage due to impacts by the forklift.
Welded baseplate
The welded baseplate is an especially designed component for frames with the highest load and height.
Upright
The upright is the main element of the frame and is galvanized. The customer has available to them a wide variety of upright sections and lengths to adapt to their warehouse needs.
Pallet guidance
It is situated at the front of the pallet beam or pallet support rail and helps operators when depositing the unit loads. It also protects the structure against potential impacts.
Pallet beam or support rail
These are the horizontal profiles on which the pallets on each level of the Drive in racking system are supported. They are metal and are perpendicularly secured to the upright by means of the brackets.
Bracket
Brackets are the metal components that support the support rails or pallet beams on each level, and therefore indirectly support the pallets. This component is secured to the upright.
Pallet backstop
Pallet backstops are preventive safety backstops and their main function is to prevent the pallet from falling at the back of the aisle due to any inappropriate maneuver.
