Handling & Use Requirements
Handling & Use Requirements
Equipment must be used within rated load capacities and installed on suitable warehouse flooring. Improper loading, uneven distribution, or use outside intended applications can result in structural failure.
Inspect all shipments upon delivery and note any freight damage before signing. Installation and final configuration should be verified by qualified personnel to ensure safe operation.
Delivery & Freight Shipping
Delivery & Freight Shipping
All equipment ships via LTL or dedicated freight carriers and is delivered curbside or dock-high depending on facility setup. Liftgate service is not included unless specifically requested at the time of quote.
You are responsible for unloading the shipment and must have appropriate equipment (forklift or dock access) available at delivery. Failure to meet delivery requirements may result in re-delivery fees.
Inspect all items upon arrival before signing the Bill of Lading. Any visible damage must be noted at delivery—claims cannot be processed after acceptance without documentation.
Lead times vary based on product type, configuration, and supplier availability. You will receive confirmation of estimated ship dates after order review.

Description
3" Teardrop Pallet Rack Beams for Warehouse Storage Systems
These 3" pallet rack beams are designed for selective pallet racking systems that require compact beam profiles with high load support. Built with a teardrop-style connection and standard 1-5/8" step design, these beams support wire decking, pallet supports, and wood decking commonly used in warehouse pallet storage systems.
Compatible with most teardrop and Interlake-style pallet rack uprights, these pallet rack cross beams install using a tool-free click-in connection for fast beam adjustment and system reconfiguration. Capacities are rated per pair under uniformly distributed static loads.
Do not use these beams with structural bolt-together pallet rack systems or damaged uprights. Seismic applications require engineering review and rack configuration validation.

Compatible Pallet Rack Systems
These pallet rack beams are designed for teardrop pallet rack systems, Interlake-style pallet rack frames, selective pallet racking, and standard warehouse pallet storage systems.
Compatible accessories include wire decking, pallet supports, and wood decking supports.
Important Capacity Information
Beam capacities are listed per pair, not per individual beam. Always calculate required beam capacity using the total weight stored across the full beam level.
Capacities assume uniformly distributed pallet loads, properly installed uprights, undamaged rack components, and standard warehouse operating conditions. Non-uniform loading, impact loading, seismic conditions, or damaged rack systems reduce allowable capacity.
Beam Length Selection Guidance
Beam length selection depends on pallet dimensions, number of pallet positions per level, forklift clearance requirements, pallet overhang requirements, and aisle configuration.
Shorter beam spans generally support higher capacities with reduced beam deflection.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
These beams use a teardrop-style connector that installs directly into compatible upright frames without bolts or special tools.
Do not assume compatibility with structural pallet racking, bolt-together rack systems, proprietary upright punch patterns, or damaged and modified uprights. Verify upright compatibility before ordering.
Engineering & Safety Notice
Final pallet rack system suitability should be reviewed by a qualified rack professional. Seismic regions, high-density storage applications, impact zones, and non-standard loading conditions may require engineered review and modified rack configuration.
Do not exceed rated beam capacities.
Need a Different Beam Size?
Additional beam lengths, beam heights, and capacity classes are available. Custom fabricated beam lengths may also be available for non-standard warehouse layouts and pallet configurations.
