In chemical logistics warehouses, beam racks hold an important position due to their strong load-bearing capacity and convenient access. Understanding their components helps to better utilize their functions.

The upright column is the key supporting structure of the beam rack. Usually made of high-quality steel, it has high strength and stability, standing vertically on the ground, bearing most of the weight of the entire rack system. Like the main beam in a building, it provides a solid foundation for storing goods.

Beams connect between the upright columns, often using materials such as rectangular steel pipes or welded beams. Their function is to hold pallets and goods, with different specifications and sizes according to different load requirements. The surface is specially treated to be anti-slip and wear-resistant, ensuring pallets can be placed stably and facilitating loading and unloading operations by forklifts and other equipment.

 

Although small, safety pins are indispensable. Installed at the junction between beams and upright columns, they effectively prevent beams from accidentally falling off, increasing the safety of rack usage and avoiding accidents caused by component loosening due to vibrations and other factors.

In addition, matching foot guards are also very important. Located at the front bottom of the rack, they can block collisions and damage to the upright columns caused by forklifts during movement, protecting the integrity of the main rack structure.

 

Beam racks build an efficient storage space through the coordinated cooperation of components such as upright columns, beams, safety pins, and foot guards. Whether in large factories or e-commerce warehouses, they can orderly store various goods, improve storage management efficiency, and are indispensable storage equipment in the modern logistics industry.
