Pallet racks generally need to be bolted to the floor, which helps improve the stability and safety of the racks. Bolt fixation can firmly connect the columns and foundation of the pallet rack to the ground, preventing the rack from tilting or collapsing, thereby ensuring the safe storage of goods. Here are the reasons why pallet racking needs to be anchored to the floor:
Improve security. By using bolts to firmly fix the shelves to the ground, the impact on the shelves during transportation and handling of goods can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the shelves tilting or collapsing and ensuring the safety of goods and employees.
Improve load-bearing capacity. Bolt fixing can firmly fix the shelf to the ground, increase the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelf, thereby maximizing the load capacity of the pallet shelf and adapting to different types of cargo storage.
Comply with safety regulations. Safety regulations in many countries and regions require that pallet racks must undergo fixed design and structural calculations to ensure that the racks meet certain safety standards. Fixed pallet racking can better meet these standards and comply with regulatory requirements.
When installing pallet racking, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and installation requirements for installing bolts and other fasteners. In addition, appropriate bolts must be selected based on ground conditions and needs and the tightening force of the bolts must be ensured. It is also important to regularly inspect and maintain fixtures to ensure the stability and safety of the racks are maintained over the long term.
