When setting up a warehouse, choosing the right beam plays a crucial role. The length of the beam determines how many pallets you can store per level and directly influences the stability and load-bearing capacity of your racking. We will explain the most important considerations so you can make the right choice.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR LOUNGE CHAIRS
PALLET DIMENSIONS
A standard Euro pallet measures 1200 x 800mm, and a block pallet measures 1200 x 1000mm. Ensure the beams offer sufficient width to safely support the desired quantity of pallets.
LOAD CAPACITY AND LOADING
Each beam has a certain load capacity depending on length and material. Longer beams can carry more pallets but must be sturdier to prevent sagging. Always check the manufacturer's specifications.
Available Space
The width of the aisles and the total space in your warehouse determine which optimal beam length is suitable. An efficient layout ensures maximum storage capacity without wasting space.
COMPATIBILITY
Are you looking to extend an existing shelving unit or replace beams? If so, ensure the new beams are compatible with the existing system. Fixing methods can vary by manufacturer.
The right lie for your situation
The length of your beams is crucial for the efficiency and safety of your warehouse storage. By considering pallet dimensions, load capacity, warehouse space, and compatibility, you'll always make the right choice.
