The Benefits of using Pallet Racking include:

• 3 post types give an extensive range of racking frame load capabilities.
• Pallet Rack frames up to 8.3m high are manufactured with single continuous uprights for maximum rigidity.
• Reversible uprights enable damaged rack uprights to be reused
• Unrivalled choice of beams connected via 3 different types of connector, ensuring a solution whatever the requirement.
• Wrap around connectors provide additional lateral restraint from the connector improving lateral stability.
• Closed box beam construction minimised torsion & damage.
• All Pallet Racking beam locking pins are tamper proof and prevent accidental dislodgement.
• A double fixing footplate is standard to allow floor fixing both sides of the upright minimising rack post damage from twisting.

The above factors helped to ensure maximum utilisation of the height of the building and also provided additional storage and merchandising space.
