Components of Chemical Storage Racks

Load beams, also called step beams are support structures that allow for materials to be stored in a horizontal form. The load beams are fit onto the upright framework that enables the Warehouse rack/shelving system.

Upright frames are a Warehouse Racking framework that is designed to fit into the warehouse design. The upright frames are columns that stand upright and go as high as possible to increase the capacity of the warehouse. Holes are then drilled into these upright columns at regular intervals so as to mount the load beams.

Diagonal braces are welded or bolted between two upright columns to increase rigidity and strength. They are also referred to as horizontal braces or upright frame lacing.

Wire decking is used to increase safety while storing materials in Chemical Bag Storage Pallet Racks. The wire decking is usually a wire mesh that fits the horizontal columns to prevent the store materials from falling from the rack structure. The mesh is used as opposed to a solid base so that dirt does not accumulate on the shelves. The mesh is also used to ease the identification of the specific materials stored in each shelve. This is because, with the mesh, you can see through even to highly placed shelves and know which materials are stored at any location.

Chemical Storage Racks Advantages

• One big advantage of Warehouse Racking is that it helps save space. The layout in which the racks are built allows for the utilization of wasted vertical space.
• The warehouse racking system is reliable. It allows you to store your material for a long period of time.
• It’s much cheaper to employ a racking system than double the square footage of an existing warehouse.
• Adding a racking system can double and sometimes even triple the amount of materials you’re able to handle in your warehouse.
• Direct access to each pallet
• Simple stock management
• Adaptable to any product volume, weight, or size
