Penco Double Slotted Pallet Rack Starter - No Deck - 96"W x 42"D x 144"H

Penco's heavy-duty pallet racks are carefully engineered to provide highly efficient storage for palletized items. Combining design and excellence with high strength steel to achieve a superior strength-to-weight ratio, the Penco Pallet Rack can handle nearly any storage job you can give it. The basic components of Penco Pallet Racks are upright frames and beams. Each is manufactured to exacting tolerances to provide many years of dependable service at their rated loads. Penco's time-proven pallet rack design continues to be a favorite of material handling professionals. The slotted design is easy to install and adjust on 3" centers while the Safety Lock Tab prevents the beam from dislodging. tandard 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. 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 1,000 pounds. It is an integral part of the beam assembly, can be engaged easily without tools, and is clearly visible for safety checks. 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. As soon as beams are installed, the locking keys should be slid into place. They will resist 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. The greater the unit load the tighter the beam-upright connection becomes. Slots on column sides accept the safety beam locking key. The design allows for standard 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 9/16" holes allow for floor anchoring on either side of the frame. Standard duty footplates are 7 ga. thick.
