How do you calculate rack load capacity?

Take the weight and then multiply it by the number of loads you hypothetically intend to store. Then take that number and multiply it by the beam levels per bay. To use an example, if the heaviest load is 1,200 pounds and you intend to put three on a pallet position, then the beam capacity is 3,600 pounds.

What is rack capacity?

Pallet rack capacity refers to the distance between a beam level and the floor or the distance between two beam levels. You must also know the pallet rack frame capacity, that is, the total weight the upright frames can support. Doing so will help you determine if your pallet racking system can support the pallet load.

What is the standard warehouse rack size?

Standard pallet rack depths are 36”, 42”, and 48”. Upright heights are generally standard as long as they are in even foot increments. The most common upright heights are 8′, 10′, 12′, 16′ & 20′.

What size pallet rack do I need?

A properly stored pallet should overhang the beams by approximately three inches, allowing the beams to carry the full weight of the pallet. To easily get a proper fit, subtract six from the depth of your pallets. This will allow a 3-inch overhang on both sides.

How is racking space calculated?

Multiply your total square footage of usable space (80,000) by your facility’s clear height to determine your warehouse’s storage capacity in cubic feet. Going with our example, if your building’s clear height is 25 feet, it has a total storage capacity of 2,000,000 cubic feet.

How much weight can pallet racks hold?

A typical pallet rack compartment or cell can hold two pallets, each weighing 2,000 lbs., on a pair of beams, for a total of 4,000 lbs. To put this weight into perspective, it is similar to storing a Ford F150 pickup truck.

What is standard racking height?

The higher the frames and further spaced the beams, the more pallet bays available; however, the average rack height is about 25 feet.
