Cost-effective Accessories Widely Used in Pallet Racking Systems
For all kinds of pallet rack systems, the main parts are uprights
and beams, which form the general frame of a pallet rack system.
While for a stable and safe pallet rack system, there are a lot of
accessories assembled for stability, safety, and efficiency.

Ironstone provides the following common accessories:
1) Upright Protector
Upright protector is placed in front of the upright column with
bolts drilled through the ground and it is designed to protect
uprights from being hit by forklifts. If traffic happens, upright
protectors would help to reduce or even avoid damage to the system.
2) Row Spacer
Row spacer is used to connect two back-to-back racks. With row
spacers, a parallel safety clearance between two uprights is fixed
and the stability of the rack system is further strengthened. The
number of row spacer depends on the height of the upright. Usually,
row spacer is placed every 2.5 meters.
3) Pallet Support Bar
Pallet support bar provides extra support for pallets and
reinforces the stability of the system at the same time. It is
placed over pallet rack beams and can be either double-flanged or
top hat style. Generally, each pallet position needs two pallet
support bars.
4) Wire mesh deck
Wire mesh deck is another accessory put over pallet rack beams
supporting pallets. Compared with support bar, its protection
against pallets is greater. Besides, it improves fire safety for
the holes help the overhead sprinkler system work better.
5) Beam connector
Beam connector is welded at the end of the beam. There are pins on
the connector. With these pins, the beam connector can lock into
the holes on the upright column so that beam is connected the
upright. In addition, beam safety pins will be added into the holes
in case of dropping.
6) Base plate
Base plate is either welded or bolted at the bottom of the upright
column and bolted with the floor at the same time. It links the
rack system with the floor so that the load capacity and stability
are enhanced. The base plate is extremely important for rack
systems in seismic zones.
7) Guide rail
Guide rail is mounted to the floor along racks. As its name
implies, it guides the direction of forklifts in aisles. If the
forklift deviates from the right direction, it will hit the rail
rather than racks. Therefore, guide rail protects rack system from
collision efficiently. And it is made of structural steel, so it is
durable and corrosive.
8) Wall tie bar
Wall tie bar is used for uprights against the wall. It connects the
upright with the wall so as to get additional stability and fixed
safety clearance with wall. For each upright against wall, at least
two wall tie bars are recommended.
9) Top portal tie
Top portal tie is necessary for single-row racks to intensify
stability. It connects the single-row rack with an adjoining rack
at the top of uprights, otherwise, single-row racks are prone to
slope.
