The pallet rack beams are made of heavy duty, weight-supporting rails that attach to the upright frames and create the actual pallet shelves. These horizontal beams support the pallets themselves, and are also available in different lengths and heights to support a variety of weight and capacity requirements.
Pallet rack beams also come in two main styles, step beams and box beams, which allow for additional support or wire decking.
Because pallet racks often hold a lot of heavy materials, there are several safeguards in place to increase weight capacity and provide additional strength. While the components may vary based on the type of rack or overall weight capacity, the main forms of support come from the anchor bolts, which anchor the racks to the warehouse floor, wood deckers or stickers for more support to the pallets, and row spacers between back-to-back rows of pallet racks to add integrity to the pallet racking system.
