Vertical racking enables the storage of particularly long lengths of product in an upright orientation. For example, such products include timber, pipe, aluminium extrusions, and conduit. Space Rescue has vertical racking arms, frames, and beams for sale in both single- and double-sided configurations.

1. Composition of a Vertical Racking System

a) ‘A’ Frames

‘A’ frames consist of two vertical posts, with either one or both sloped depending on whether for single-sided or double-sided storage. Sloping posts within an ‘A’ frame enable the creation of a sloping surface to which products lean.

b) Horizontal Beams

A horizontal beam acts as the support arm and is also the component that the stored product leans against. Furthermore, the horizontal beams attach to the front leaning post of the supporting frames. They provide rigidity and strength to the structure. In addition, in the case of double-sided racks, all horizontal beams act as the support surface.

c) Arm Dividers

Arm dividers separate different products across the sloped surface of the vertical rack. Therefore, they attach to the horizontal beams.

d) Guide Channels

Guide channels assist in providing both a defined support footprint and a floor anchoring fixture to tie the rack down. In the same way that pallet racking is free-standing and only requires anchoring to the ground, the same can be said for this structure.

e) Floor Stop

Furthermore, the floor stop provides a barrier on the floor to stop products from slipping out.


2. Configurations of Vertical Racking

These structures may vary by bay height, bay length, and also the horizontal spacing between arm dividers.

They may also be configured as single- or double-sided structures.


3. Safety Features

A safety feature of the vertical storage rack is the incorporation of a front stop. As the name suggests, it helps prevent the goods from both sliding forward and potentially falling out of the rack.
