Operational Fit
These pallet rack beams are commonly used in selective pallet racking systems handling standard pallet storage in warehouse, fulfillment, distribution, and light manufacturing operations.
The 72" span is typically used where shorter beam lengths are required for tighter layouts, smaller pallet configurations, or lower-capacity rack sections. This beam size is not intended for high-density storage systems or heavy pallet loads requiring larger face sizes or higher-capacity structural beams.
Important Capacity & Safety Information
Beam capacities are rated per pair, not per individual beam. Two beams are required for each pallet rack level.
Capacities apply only to evenly distributed static pallet loads. Point-loaded pallets, uneven loading, impact loading, or damaged rack components will reduce system performance and can create unsafe storage conditions.
Rack configurations installed in seismic zones or high-traffic forklift environments should be reviewed before installation. Final rack system design and load verification should be confirmed prior to use.
