PENCO PALLET RACK

Penco Pallet Rack is a carefully engineered system designed to provide highly efficient storage of palletized items. Excellent design features combined with the use of high strength steel produces a superior pallet rack that can handle nearly any job you can give it.

Following is a list of the wide range of features and components that make Penco Rack one of the best values for your storage dollar.

DESIGN FEATURES

The basic components of Penco Pallet Rack are Upright Frames and Beams. Each is manufactured to exacting tolerances to provide many years of dependable service at their rated loads.

STEP DOWN DESIGN: All beams have a step for the purpose of accepting accessories. Two step sizes are available: 7/8" and 1-5/8" high.

BEAM LOCKING KEY FOR SAFETY: A unique recessed safety key made from heavy gauge steel engages a slot in the side of the post. It resists an upward force from material handling equipment up to 1000 pounds. It is an integral part of the beam assembly, can be engaged easily without tools, and is clearly visible for checking.

HEAVY DUTY BEAM END CONNECTOR: Beam ends are made from extra heavy gauge steel. They feature a three prong connection which assures positive beam to post alignment along the 8-1/2" length of the connector, and uniform load distribution. Tabs extend along the face of the beam to provide extra protection to the prongs during transit and installation.

WELDED UPRIGHT FRAME BRACING: Upright frame columns are securely MIG welded together with channel type braces for maximum rigidity.

UPRIGHT COLUMN: A continuous post roll formed into an "M" design for added strength. Slanted slots on the column allow for beam placement on 3" vertical centers. Slots on column sides accept the safety beam locking key. The design allows for beams to be placed flush with the top, or as close as 9" from the floor.

FOOT PLATE: A heavy gauge foot plate is securely welded to each post to provide load distribution over 13.7 square inches, and two holes allow for floor anchoring from either side of the frame.

PALLET RACK FRAMES

Penco Pallet Rack Upright Frames are available in five load capacities, ranging from 18,000 lbs. to 45,000 lbs. A letter code stamped into the face of the post indicates the capacity. Depths of 30", 36", 42", 48", 54" and 60" are standard, but other depths are available. Standard heights range from 48" to 288" in 6" increments, but greater heights can be achieved when splices are used.

Beam heights adjust on 3" vertical centers, and are independent on each side of the frame. Beams of any type can be placed along the full height of the post; there are no dead spots on the post, even across a splice. Various load rated frames can be combined in a row of rack for maximum economy.

Penco Pallet Rack Upright Frames are furnished completely fabricated, welded into rigid units. Standard finish for upright frames is 028 Gray baked enamel.

We recommend that all upright frames be securely anchored to the floor for safety.

PALLET RACK BEAMS

Penco has engineered its roll-formed one piece beam to achieve the highest possible strength-to-weight ratios in the most frequently desired load ratings through the use of efficient design and high strength steel.

Beams are offered in eight basic styles with different vertical profiles and steel gauges. Beam step heights of 7/8" and 1-5/8" are available for a wide variety of accessory use. Both the overlapping seam and the beam end connector are securely MIG welded for strength.

The face of the beam has an M-design recessed configuration for added strength, protecting the locking key, and to accept pressure sensitive labeling. Each beam is stamped with an identifying letter referring to the load bearing capacity. Beams are finished in 710 Safety Yellow baked enamel for high visibility.

PALLET RACK ACCESSORIES

PLYWOOD SUPPORTS: For supporting plywood or other wood decking. Styles are available for 1/2" deck on 7/8" step beams and 3/4" deck on 1-5/8" step beams.

GENERAL DUTY CROSSBARS: For supporting loads smaller than unit depth.

HEAVY DUTY FLANGED CROSSBAR: Supports heavier loads smaller than unit depth on 1-5/8" step beams.

FORK CLEARANCE BAR: Provides proper fork clearance for unpalletized stock, 2" wide by 2-3/4" high.

HEAVY DUTY SKID CHANNEL ASSEMBLY: Provides a channeled base for skid runners, 4" wide by 2" high.

FRAME SPLICE: For adding to height of existing frame. Can be supplied welded in top of new frame if specified on order. (Top frame must be ordered without foot plate.) With hardware.

FRAME PROTECTOR: Anchors to floor at front of post. Provides protection against damage from material handling vehicles.

RIGID WALL BRACKET: Structurally connects racks to wall for additional stability. Frame hardware included.

RIGID ROW SPACER: Structurally connects and spaces two rows of rack back-to-back. Bolted type. Hardware included.
