Frequently Asked Questions
Why is engineering important in pallet racking design?
Pallet racking must safely support intended loads while accounting for factors such as storage height, material handling equipment, seismic conditions, and applicable building codes. Proper engineering helps ensure the system is designed for its intended application and operating environment.
What building codes and standards apply to pallet racking?
Pallet racking design may be governed by the locally adopted International Building Code (IBC), applicable ANSI/RMI standards, and other structural requirements. The specific requirements depend on the project location, rack configuration, and jurisdiction.
Can Speedrack engineer pallet racking for high-seismic regions?
Yes. Speedrack offers engineered racking solutions for high-seismic applications, including its ductile upright design. Seismic requirements are evaluated based on project location, applicable codes, loading conditions, and system configuration.
Can Speedrack design custom racking systems?
Yes. Speedrack’s engineering team develops storage systems based on facility dimensions, pallet sizes, load requirements, equipment clearances, operational workflows, and other project-specific considerations.
What is the advantage of having engineering and manufacturing in-house?
Close coordination between engineering and manufacturing allows design decisions to be evaluated alongside production capabilities. This helps support efficient communication, design consistency, quality control, and the development of practical, manufacturable storage solutions.
