Component Specifications

Definition
The upright frame is the primary vertical structural element in industrial storage racking systems, designed to support horizontal beams and bear the weight of stored materials. It consists of vertical columns with regularly spaced holes or slots for beam connection, providing adjustable shelving heights. Upright frames transfer loads to the floor through base plates and maintain system alignment and stability under dynamic and static loading conditions.
Working Principle
Upright frames function as cantilevered columns that resist compressive, bending, and shear forces from stored loads. They distribute weight vertically to the foundation while providing attachment points for beams at multiple height levels. The perforated design allows for adjustable beam positioning, creating flexible storage configurations while maintaining structural integrity through engineered column cross-sections and material strength.
Materials
Typically manufactured from high-strength structural steel (S235JR, S355JR per EN 10025) or ASTM A36 steel. Common thickness: 1.5-3.0mm for light/medium duty, 3.0-5.0mm for heavy duty. Surface treatments include powder coating (60-80μm), galvanizing (Z275-Z350), or paint systems for corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard hole spacing for upright frames?

Most industrial upright frames use either 75mm or 100mm vertical hole spacing, allowing for beam height adjustments in increments matching these dimensions.

How do I determine the appropriate upright frame capacity?

Upright frame capacity depends on column thickness, steel grade, height, depth, and load distribution. Consult manufacturer load tables or engineering calculations based on EN 15512 or RMI standards.

Can upright frames from different manufacturers be mixed?

Generally not recommended due to dimensional variations in hole patterns, column profiles, and connection systems. Mixing components can compromise structural integrity and safety.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
