Pallet Rack Beams 108" x 5" – 6500 lb Capacity

Heavy-Duty 108" Teardrop Pallet Rack Beam for Selective Racking

These 108" pallet rack beams are designed for selective pallet racking systems that require high-capacity pallet support with standard teardrop compatibility. The 5.5" beam face and 6,500 lb capacity per pair make them suitable for palletized warehouse inventory, distribution storage, manufacturing operations, and 3PL facilities handling medium-to-heavy pallet loads.

This beam features a standard 1 5/8" step design compatible with wire decking, pallet supports, and wood decking systems. The teardrop connection allows for fast tool-free installation into compatible pallet rack uprights, including Teardrop and Interlake New Style frames.

These beams are sold individually. Two beams are required per storage level.

Best Fit Applications

• Selective pallet racking systems
• Distribution centers
• Manufacturing warehouses
• 3PL storage operations
• Standard palletized inventory
• Medium-to-heavy pallet loads
• Multi-level warehouse racking systems

When Not to Use These Beams

Do not use these pallet rack beams in applications where the rack system, load profile, or upright compatibility has not been verified.

• Do not use with structural pallet rack systems.
• Do not use with damaged, modified, or unknown uprights.
• Do not use for point-loaded applications.
• Do not use in seismic zones without engineering review.
• Do not exceed published load capacities.
• Do not use with incompatible upright perforations.

This beam capacity is based on uniformly distributed static loads under proper rack configuration.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility Information

These pallet rack beams are designed for use with standard teardrop pallet rack uprights and Interlake New Style frames. The teardrop connector design allows for fast adjustment and installation without bolts or specialized tools.

Before ordering, verify:

• Upright perforation compatibility
• Beam length requirements
• Pallet dimensions
• Required pallet positions per level
• Total load requirements per beam level

Capacity and Load Notes

Beam capacities are listed per pair, not per individual beam. Two beams are required to create one pallet rack shelf level.

To calculate required beam capacity:

1. Determine the weight of the heaviest pallet.
2. Multiply by the number of pallet positions on the beam level.
3. Confirm the resulting total does not exceed the rated beam capacity.

Improper beam sizing can result in rack damage, product loss, or system failure.

Finish and Durability

These pallet rack beams feature a durable powder-coated finish designed for warehouse and industrial environments. The finish helps resist surface wear, corrosion, and operational damage in high-traffic storage systems.

Engineering and Safety Notes

Final rack system design should always consider pallet weight distribution, forklift type, impact risk, seismic requirements, rack height, upright capacities, and local code requirements.

Additional engineering review may be required for seismic regions including California, Oregon, Washington, and other regulated jurisdictions.
