SK3000 Pallet Rack
Rugged rack for high traffic systems
 Pallet racks constructed of hot rolled structural channel have
long been known as being extraordinarily capable of withstanding the wear and
tear of the toughest environments. This has always made structural channel type
rack popular for use in freezers, coolers, and distribution facilities. Today,
with intense competition forcing nearly every company to increase throughput,
structural rack has become a popular choice in many different industries.
Steel King is no stranger to structural rack design, having been producing
this rugged rack for over 25 years. Armed with this considerable experience,
Steel King has incorporated features into our SK3000 structural rack which are
proven to increase it's strength and durability. These design improvements
differentiate SK3000 from other structural racks, resulting in even lower
maintenance costs, increased safety, and a longer service life. This difference
can give you a competitive edge in your industry.
Consider the following features and benefits of SK3000:
Channel Bolted Pallet Rack Upright Frames
- Steel King upright frame columns consist of 3" or 4" structural
channel steel. Steel thickness, especially in corner sections, enables greater
resistance to fork truck impact damage while increasing load carrying capacity
and resistance to seismic forces.
- Upright frames are punched on 4" vertical centers. Beam connector
clips specially punched allow for vertical adjustability in 2" increments.
- Diagonal and horizontal braces are used throughout the entire frame...
braces are, 2"x2" and 1.5"x1.5" structural angles welded to
the columns. Up to 75% more substantial than competitive structural racks.
- Footpads are made of 7-gauge steel plates and welded to each column,
efficiently dispersing floor loads.
- Each footpad features multiple anchor holes, facilitating installation and
re-anchoring.
- Has a safety factor equaling 1.92: 1.
- Has minimum safety yields:
Columns=50,000 p.s.i.
Balance=36,000 p.s.i.
- All Steel King capacities are based upon minimum steel yields rather than
the actual average steel yield we receive. Your capacities, on average, will be
greater than those stated, and will never be less than stated.
Load Beams
- All Steel King beams are constructed of either structural
"C"-channel or formed step beams. This allows us to provide you the
most effective and economical rack for your load and usage patterns.
- All beams are constructed of high-strength (50,000 p.s.i. minimum) steel.
Our capacities are based on minimum steel strength, not the average. Actual
capacity for all our beams is equal to or greater than listed capacity.
- Has a safety factor equaling 1.67: 1.
Beam Connections
- Steel King beam connectors are constructed of heavy 5-gauge steel plates,
featuring a wrap-around design.
- Beams are bolted to the upright frame column, allowing no need for an extra
safety lock to secure the connection.
- Each end of each load beam is bolted to the column with two grade-5 bolts
and nuts, providing 57% higher moment capacity than a one-bolt design.
- Every connector plate features round holes, not slots. This and the use of
two bolts instead of one, eases installation by providing automatic
"squaring and "plumbing" of the rack, without the use of
come-alongs or turnbuckles.
- Bolted beams are easily adjustable in 2" vertical increments and can
be adjusted just as easily and quickly as boltless designs. Up to 50% greater
adjustability than competitive structural racks.
- Bolted connections are designed to exceed RMI standards and will withstand
an accidental upward impact of 1,000 lbs, for operational safety.
Load Rails, Structural Angle Type
- All Steel King load rails are constructed of structural angle steel,
providing increased strength and abuse resistancy.
- Structural angles are positioned so the angle's vertical leg acts as a load
guide. This maintains proper load positioning, keeping it on the rails. It also
prevents the load from falling between rails.
- All Steel King drive-in rails feature rear rail "stops." These
stops prevent loads from being pushed off. Different from add-on stops, every
Steel King stop is welded to its rail, which lowers installation costs and
reduces additional parts.
- Steel King drive-in rails are available with "flared" angles at
the rack's entrance, easing loading and unloading.
- All bolted connections utilize high strength grade-5 hardware.
- Front arms are welded to the rail's side. This reduces rail protrusion into
the aisle by 2"-3," improving safety and reducing the risk of
possible product damage.
