Description
- Enhance the alignment and stability of your pallet racking system with our Pallet Rack Row Spacers. Measuring 18 inches in length and constructed from 14 gauge steel, this spacer provides the necessary support to maintain proper spacing between rows. Featuring a 1-1/2 inch flange in a standard style, it ensures a secure fit. Finished in a galvanized color, it offers corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various warehouse conditions.
- This row spacer is essential for preventing rack rows from shifting, which can compromise safety and efficiency. Its durable construction from high-quality steel ensures it can withstand the rigors of daily warehouse operations.
Row spacers are particularly beneficial in back-to-back configurations of selective pallet racks in several ways:
-
Structural Stability: In back-to-back setups, where two rows of racks are placed with their backs facing each other, row spacers help maintain the structural integrity by preventing the rows from shifting or leaning towards each other. This is vital as the back-to-back configuration can create additional pressure points due to the close proximity of the racks.
-
Consistent Spacing: They ensure that the space between the back-to-back rows remains uniform, which is crucial for maintaining airflow, especially in environments where temperature control or dust management is important. Consistent spacing also aids in the uniformity of load distribution across the floor.
-
Safety for Workers and Equipment: With back-to-back rows, the narrow space can sometimes be a hazard for workers or equipment moving between aisles. Row spacers help in creating a safe passage, reducing the risk of accidents by ensuring there’s enough room for safe navigation.
-
Efficient Use of Space: While back-to-back configurations are designed to maximize space utilization, row spacers ensure that this efficiency does not come at the cost of safety or accessibility. They allow for tight configurations without compromising on operational safety, ensuring that every inch of space is used effectively.
-
Load Distribution: In back-to-back setups, the weight from both rows can affect the stability of the system. Row spacers help in distributing this combined load more evenly, reducing the stress on individual rack components and the floor.
-
Facilitating Maintenance: When maintenance or inspections are required, having a consistent and secure spacing between back-to-back rows makes it easier to access all parts of the racks, including the areas where they meet, for cleaning, repairs, or adjustments.
By incorporating pallet rack row spacers in back-to-back selective rack configurations, you ensure that your storage system remains stable, safe, and efficient, while also facilitating better maintenance and operational practices.
