Rack, on the surface, is a rather simple product to sell. It doesn't have any moving parts, it
doesn't produce any work, and it pretty much just sits there. However, since things aren't
always as they seem, there are some technical aspects to correctly specify the equipment
solution. In the sales realm, addressing these aspects can differentiate you from your
competition.
This booklet is designed to assist and guide you through the technical aspects and help

Rack “101” the basics
Selective Rack
Provides 100% selectivity to every load Operators can get to a specific load without
moving other loads out of the way. Racking is much more efficient compared to bulk stacking
and can reduce damage to the product and the time required to access the product. Double
reach truck applications are a close cousin to the selective rack. Cantilever, drive-in, drive-
through, push back, and pallet flow are all more special applications and should be turned over
to engineering to quote.
Since rack requires lift truck access, there must be aisles at each row of rack. There must
be a space buffer around all sides of each load to place them in the racks without hitting the
loads next to it. Selective rack is not a means to store in a “high density” application.
Selective rack does provide a means to stack loads higher in the warehouse, typically high
than stacking one load on top of another. So selective rack can add storage capacity to a
warehouse.
Step #1
Since Forklift Systems Inc. sells lift trucks, we can say with confidence that we can
guarantee that the trucks the customer uses work with the rack system we design. So, you must
identify the truck to be used in the rack area. What you need to know—
• the truck operating aisle radius
• the lift height
• the lifting capacity
Knowing this, we can set the rack aisles for the proper "load-to-load" clearance, set the top-of-
top beam elevation, and check that the load weights can be lifted to the heights required.
Step #2
• Need to know the load or loads that will be stored
• What is the maximum overall load death and width looking at the
loads as you would place them on the rack?
• What are the maximum pallet or skid depth and width?

4. 3
• What are the minimum pallet or skid depth and width?
• What is the tallest load?
• What is the maximum load weight?
• What is the load type? It could be a wood pallet, a metal container,
a plastic skid with “feet,” or a stackable container.
• Is the load stable, stretch wrapped, irregular, or requiring other
special circumstances?
Step #3
• Need to know how to loads are to be stored on the beams.
• Typically, loads are placed two per beam level
• Other configurations could double stack loads (2-wide x 1-high) on
the beams or place three loads per beam (usually long beams)
Most importantly, loads must rest entirely on the front and rear beam; this is why we
need to know the minimum load size. Typically, the rack depth is set by the load depth. To
ensure that the load rests on the beams, the reach depth must be 6" less than the load. A 48"
deep load would fit on a 42" deep rack if the application calls for small items such as cartons,
boxes, etc. To sit on the beam levels like a shelf, we would use decking to the beams of a
suitable capacity.
Also very important, loads must be evenly distributed over the beam length. Two side by
side 40" wide loads on a 96" beams are most common. A single 60” wide load resting in the
center of a 96” beam is not acceptable, even if the total weight is less than the beam capacity!
TYPICAL PLAN VIEW OF COMMON SIZE LOADS
RESTING ON STANDARD LENGTH BEAMS

5. 4
Step #4
Need to know the physical constraints of the building and the area where this rack will be
installed. This information will determine how high the rack will be and how high the loads can
be stored. Look for and measure to the bottom of the roof steel beams. Also, usually there are
lights, pipes, vents, etc. That can limit the stacking height. Identify the lowest obstruction with
which to contend. Measure the building column centers in both axes Measure the column size
also.
Step #5
We can now determine the rack height and the beam spacing. Knowing the available
building height, we can create an elevation view of the rack assembly. Remember, we already
know the lifting height of the trucks that will be used. So this will be the ultimate determination
of how high the rack will be.
• We will establish the beam thickness based on the load weight
• We will establish the maximum load height
• We will establish the “lift-off” clearance from the top of the load to
the bottom of the beam, typically 6” to 10” is suitable
• All beam elevations are to the top of the beam
• Beams are typically set on 2” increments from the floor, based on
the frame hole spacing.

LOAD HEIGHTS AND BEAM THICKNESS PLUS LIFT OFF CLEARANCES
ADD UP TO A COMBINED RACK HEIGHT

6. 5
Step #6
• Equipment selection
• We have established the beam length based on the load widths
• We have established the beam capacity based on the total weight
of the loads to be stored on the beam level
• We have established the frame depth based on the load depth
• We have established the frame height based on the number of levels
we can store
• We establish the frame total load by adding the weight capacity of
each beam level in the bay x the number of beam levels in the bay.
For example, if each beam level has 4,000# load capacity and there
are two beam levels, the frame capacity is rated at 8,000#
To obtain equipment bids, we define the equipment to the manufacturer in this format:
• Frame, depth x height x required total load capacity x beam spacing.
(For example, 42” deep x 120” high x 8,000# capacity with 54” beam
spacing.)
• Beam length x total load per pair of beams. All beams are
specified as a pair, not capacity per beam. (For example, 96” long x
4,500# capacity per pair.)
The manufacturer has pre-established specific product capacities based on this
information:
• A frame’s capacity is established by specifying the beam spacing
• It is critical to define the maximum beam spacing when
quoting a frame
• Also, if a customer ever decides to change the beam spacing by
increasing the distance between them, they could very well cause
the frame to be weekend and fail
The manufacturer may return equipment capacities that are greater than those requested.
In other words, we may ask for an 8,000# capacity frame, but the closest standard frame may
have 12,000# capacity. We may ask for beams that require 4,000# per pair capacity, but the
closest standard may be 4,200#.
When quoting, it is better to specify to the customer the actual capacities of the equipment
rather than the capacities needed, as long as they are higher. This shows that our proposal
exceeds the customer’s minimum requirement.

7. 6
Step #7
Accessories and options— based on the project application, we need to consider the
following
items.
1. Oversized base plates. A single row of rack cannot safely stand if
the height to the top beam exceeds 6 times the frame depth.
• A 42” frame x 6 = 21' – 0"
• A 36” frame x 6 = 18 – 0”
So, as long as the rack being quoted is below this rule, we do not need to add
stabilizers. However, if the rack does exceed this rule, we must add some means to stabilize
the rack.
• There are wall ties that bolt to the upright and are then anchored to
a building wall. There are cross aisle ties that extend between frames
across the lift truck aisle. We typically do not recommend either of
these methods.
• The preferred method is one that is approved by rmi rack
specification and structural engineers. We added oversized 5” x 7”
base plates to the frame, and specify that there must be two anchors
per foot (or 4-per frame).
2. Row spacers. A back-to-back row of rack is very common and is
very stable. This rack arrangement does not require additional stabilizers. We add 2-row
spacers per pair of frames to keep them a set distance apart. This distance is commonly
referred to as the “flue.” A row spacer must be long enough for the product overhand plus
a load-to-load buffer. 9" to 12" spacers are most common. If a building column falls in the
flue space, the spacer must accommodate this width as well.
3. Pallet supports. If the pallets to be stored sag or if there is a concern

8. 7
That the pallet might break or crack, pallet supports are one method to add additional
support. Typically 2-pallet supports per pallet location are sufficient. These are not
intended to support short loads that do not rest on both beams. There are two styles,
tabbed and roll-in. Tabbed cross bars rest in the step of the beam, and there is a metal
tab that extends out and over the face of the beam. Installers attach the crossbar with a
tek screw. For a cleaner appearance and less time-consuming installation, roll-in crossbars
must be paired with a slotted beam. There is a tab that locks into slots punched into the
step of the beam.
ROLL-IN STYLE CROSS BAR TAB STYLE CROSSBAR
4. Wire decking. This is one of the most popular items added to rack systems. Wire
decking creates a surface over the full length and depth of the storage level.
Wire decking requires a uniformly distributed load. This means that a load must rest
fully on both support beams. Wire deck is specified at the maximum total load weight.
Typically, there is one wire deck panel under each load position. Wire deck is ideal for
loads with “feet,” hand stacking individual cartons, or light duty wood skids. Wire decking
is ideal for fire sprinkler systems because water can flow throughout the storage level.
We define wire decking in this format –
Deck depth x deck width x required total load capacity x wire mesh opening. (for
example, 42” deep x 46” wide x 2,000# capacity with 2 ½ x 4” wire mesh spacing.)
Wire deck widths are slightly less than the beam length so that they
can be easily installed. A 96” long beam would have two decks at 46” each. 46” x 2 =. 92.”
A 108” beam would have two decks at 52” each. A 144” beam would have three wire decks
at 46” each. 46” x 3 – 138.”
Each wire deck manufacturer requires the submission of a diagram of the beam when
placing the order. They will not proceed with fabrication of the order until this has been
provided. Each rack manufacturer is slightly different. Make sure you get the accurate
dimensions for the specific order.
TYPICAL RACK DIMENSIONS NEEDED FOR ORDERING WIRE DECK

9. 8
There are also wire deck applications for “box” beam, structural beams, internal
waterfall. These should be reviewed by engineering for quoting.
5. Shims. We cannot emphasize enough the need for shims. These are critical to the
installation to ensure that the frames are set plumb and square. These must be included
even if the customer is installing the rack. All floors are subject to having some level of
dips or high and low spots. These are often not visible to the naked eye. If the rack is
anchored to an uneven floor without shims, there can be load forces transmitted to the
frames that exceed the factory design. So, always include shims in your quote. If the floor
is newer and is in reasonably good condition, we can add one shim per frame. If the floor
is older or has some visible variations, we should add two shims per frame. If there are
noticeable floor cracks, dips or other such concerns, consider adding four shims per
frame.
6. Post Protectors. Another very popular enhancement to a rack system. Post
protectors can deflect impact by a lift truck placing loads into the rack or just general

10. 9
harsh operating environment. There are several styles, configurations, and manufacturers
of these. The most common is a free-standing wrap around style. These are anchored to
the floor around the base plate. These come in various heights commonly 12” or 18.”
These limit the placement of a beam in this height range. Another common guard is
located at the end of the row and protects the side of the frame.
7. Fall protection. There are two items that can be added to a rack system to guard
against loads being pushed or falling out of the back side of the rack onto personnel areas
or other such areas that should be guarded.
• Netting can be added to cover the entire back side of a row of rack,
from the first beam level to the top of the top load, and the entire
length of the row. Netting is an engineered product and should be
reviewed with engineering before quoting. Netting can be sized for
catching individual cartons or entire pallet loads.
• Backstop beams. These are beams that have an offset arm that
bolts to the upright frame post and sets the beam back about 6”
from the load support beam. These beams block a load from being
pushed too far in by the lift truck.
Rack NOMENCLATURE
Tear Drop
This is the most common and copied style of rack in the world. Teardrop refers to the
holes punched in the frame post. Virtually every rack manufacturer makes this style and with
very, very few exceptions, they are interchangeable

11. 10
Other common frame & hole punching styles

12. 11
Closed Tube – vs. Open Tube
Some manufacturers roll the steel for the frame post in a “u” shape with an open slot
running the full length of the back of the post. Some manufacturers roll the steel to make a
completely enclosed tube. There are benefits to each, and one is not particularly better or
worse than the other.
Welded – vs. Bolted Frames
Some manufacturers bolt the spreader supports and some weld these pieces. Regardless,
both are delivered to the job site fully assembled. There are benefits and detractions to each.
Only Interlake and mecalux brands are bolted. All others are welded.
Also, most rack manufacturers have a "zigzag" pattern to the bracing. It is commonly accepted
practice to install the lower diagonal brace facing the aisle. This helps distribute any impact
force through the frame. Installers need to make sure all frames are facing the same direction
in a row. Speed rack has a "x" pattern bracing, so there is no front or rear to be concerned with.
Flatbed Deliveries
Rack is shipped from the manufacturer on flatbed trucks, as seen here. So, to unload the
rack, we need to establish several items that must be covered –
• Is there paved access to the building?
• Is there sufficient space outdoors for the truck to be side un-
loaded?
• How will the rack be transferred into the building? A surface grade

13. 12
driven in-door is ideal. Some buildings can allow the truck to back
into the building, but this is not common.
• On some sites, we must pass the rack through a dock door. This
requires that we have two lift trucks, one to un-load outdoors and
one to receive the material in-doors.
This is important and should not be overlooked when quoting the project. We must make
sure the customer understands how the rack will be received, who will provide the unloading,
and who will provide the lift trucks or rental equipment. Someone must do it and the time to
discuss this is during the proposal generation. Another good idea and selling feature is to
require the trucking company to tarp the loads, especially in bad weather. The rack arrives
cleaner and less subject to road salt/water that can damage the metal.
