Rack capacity charts

Understanding rack capacities is essential to designing the right-size rack system

Not all racks are created equal. Racks of the same dimension from different manufacturers will have different capacity ratings. Capacity is based on a number of factors, the most basic being the specific rack components – beams and frames (uprights).

Load capacity for pallet rack beams are based upon a per pair load on the rack. Rack height also determines its capacity.

There are other factors as well. For instance, the more distance between each rack beam, the less weight the pallet rack uprights can support. If you have questions regarding rack capacity, please contact us.
