Structural Pallet Rack-Heavy Duty Warehouse Racking, Installation. New Used. Columbus, Ohio
Structural Pallet Racking
Sometimes referred to as Heavy Duty Pallet, Storage or Warehouse Rack is the perfect solution when greater capacities than that of standard Selective Pallet Rack are required. In general terms, Selective (roll formed) Pallet Rack goes as high as ~9,000 lbs. capacity, per pair of 96”L Beams. Structural Pallet Rack goes considerably higher and is generally constructed with high-strength, structural steel C-Channels for added toughness and rigidity.
We offer 3″ and 4″ wide Upright posts constructed with sturdy structural steel bracing all welded. Heavy-duty structural Beams range from 3″ to 6″ in height to meet the most demanding load criteria (the higher the beam height, the higher the load rating). Structural Rack includes a unique design and safety feature, a bolted connection which is a far superior method to connect Beam to Upright than standard “fingered” connector plates with spring type safety clips.
Hybrid Structural Rack
Hybrid structural racking, occasionally referred to as Interchangeable Structural Racking, is a storage system that combines the strength of structural steel Uprights with the cost-effectiveness of roll-formed beams. Generally, the Uprights are Structural in design and the Beams are roll-formed, which adds overall cost effectiveness of the system. Additionally, Hybrid Racking saves time and labor during installation, particularly on large jobs. It’s a flexible, modular solution that can be used in a variety of warehouse settings, including high-traffic environments, multi-level storage platforms, and very narrow aisle (VNA) racking. Hybrid Structural Racking includes automatic locking mechanisms which snap into place, instead of a full bolted connection.
Where is Structural Racking used?
Structural Racking is more common in certain industries and in different areas of the county. Due to its structural construction, Structural Rack is the preferred method of bulk storage in seismic areas. Additionally, as a result of its enhanced impact resistance, Structural Rack is the perfect solution for high bay storage, cooler, cold bay or refrigerated applications where forklifts are required to navigate in tight or confined spaces and damage to the racking is more common.
Structural pallet racking is designed to prevent and limit damage from forklift abuse. The posts and beams are constructed from structural steel and are much thicker than roll-formed posts, particularly at the corners which are the primary impact points.

Advantages include:
- Structural construction: This type of heavy duty Warehouse Racking is generally constructed of I-Beam and C-Channel.
- Durability: As a result of the design and construction of this type of Pallet Rack, the Uprights and beams are less susceptible to damage.
- Beams include the “ultimate” safety lock mechanism... a totally bolted connection!
- Longevity: Due to their robust construction, Structural Pallet Rack has a longer life span than most standard Pallet Rack Systems.
- Environmental Factors: Heavy-Duty Structural Pallet Rack can withstand exposure to harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, humidity and seismic activity. They are a preferred type of racking for high bay cold, cooler or freezer storage.
- Fire resistance: Structural Pallet Rack can have an enhanced fire resistance due to their structural design and construction.
- Compliance: They often meet or exceed industry and safety regulations, ensuring compliance with standards.
