Select: On The Floor
6" Above Floor

Do you need Post Protectors? Post Protectors keep pallet rack frames safe from lift truck or other loading equipment damage by providing solid steel protection at the base of the upright.
	Select: No Column protectors 12"h. 18"h.

Will you require Front-to-Back Pallet Supports? They allow for storage of pallets which are not deep enough to fit on standard rack frame depths while providing additional support to standard pallets. It also provides a measure of safety if the pallet is not set properly on the beams.
	Select:Pallet Supports Pallet supports are only available for 36", 42", and 48" deep pallet rack.

Do you need wire decking? Wire decking gives you the opportunity to store un-palletized boxes on a beam level.

The pricing provided is an estimate, not a quotation

Consider the estimator results as a starting point to determine the sizes, type, and quantities of pallet rack needed to fill your requirements. Once an estimate is provided, it will need to be reviewed and revised to allow for obstructions such as doors, building columns, electrical panels and HVAC equipment. Your local building codes may also affect the configuration and pricing of the pallet rack. If your facility requires consideration for seismic conditions, please contact us so that we can work with you further on your requirement.

The Rack Estimator does not include estimates for these items:

Shipping, unloading, or any other freight costs
Assembly or installation
Shims, anchors, wall ties, or other hardware that may be required to complete your configuration

Notes:

You can get a freight estimate from your freight carrier. If you need only a few bays of rack, you may be able to ship it by LTL freight. Typically larger quantities of pallet rack will need to be shipped on a flatbed trailer.

Limits Of Estimator

The Rack Estimator will price uprights up to 20'-0" tall.
The load bearing capacities of uprights are affected greatly by the beam spacing. Contact us if you are storing loads taller than 60"

If you need pricing on a configuration that can not be quoted online, please forward your specifications, and we will provide you pricing.
