Component Specifications

Definition
A critical structural element in material storage rack systems designed to support and distribute the weight of stored items across decking panels or shelf surfaces. Engineered to withstand specific load capacities while maintaining dimensional stability and alignment within the rack framework. Typically integrates with upright frames and beams through mechanical connections to create stable storage platforms.
Working Principle
Operates on principles of structural mechanics by transferring vertical loads from stored materials through the decking/shelf surface to the supporting beams and upright frames. Distributes weight evenly to prevent localized stress concentrations, utilizing geometric design and material properties to maintain rigidity and prevent deflection under rated capacities.
Materials
Cold-rolled steel (S235JR/S355JR), galvanized steel, aluminum alloy (6061-T6), or high-strength polymers (for lightweight applications). Thickness: 1.5-3.0mm for steel, 2.0-4.0mm for aluminum. Surface treatments: powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing, or anodizing.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 5-25 kg
  • Dimensions Width: 800-1200mm, Depth: 600-1000mm, Height: 30-100mm
  • Decking Type Solid, wire mesh, or perforated
  • Load Capacity 500-5000 kg per unit
  • Safety Factor 1.5-2.0
  • Connection Type Bolted, welded, or snap-in
Standards
ISO 15620, DIN 15185, EN 15620, AS 4084

Frequently Asked Questions

What load capacity should I specify for my storage rack system?

Load capacity depends on stored material weight, rack configuration, and safety factors. Consult EN 15620 standards and conduct load calculations considering dynamic loads and safety margins of 1.5-2.0.

Can load supports be retrofitted to existing rack systems?

Yes, if dimensions and connection interfaces match. Verify compatibility with existing upright frames and beams, and ensure structural integrity through engineering assessment before installation.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
