RACKsteel Material Handling client Traxxon Rock Drills had the need for heavy duty racking in one of their buildings. Project consultant Kristeen worked with RACKsteel Material Handling’s in-house Engineer to provide a solution that provided maximum pallet positions as well as maximum weight capacity for the pallet racking. Traxxons building had unique structural features that had to be worked around, as well as a unique requirement for “tunnel” length.
To achieve Traxxons desired weight capacities on the pallet racking, RACKsteel Material Handling built “double braced” frames in-house. RACKsteel Material Handling accommodated the unique “tunnel” length by customizing beam length in-house, one of our many custom fabrication abilities. Our in-house Engineer and Kristeen combined their knowledge and were able to maximize a racking layout that avoided all unique structural features of Traxxons buildings. RACKsteel Material Handling fabricated and installed custom row-end guards in-house to protect the “tunnel” frames from accidental forklift damage.
RACKsteel Material Handling installed this project in 2 phases to allow for Traxxon Rock Drills to do building upgrades between each phase of the installation. Based on their positive experience with RACKsteel Material Handling, Traxxon Rock Drills referred Pinnacle Drilling to RACKsteel Material Handling, and RACKsteel Material Handling provided Pinnacle Drilling with custom built, “double braced” frames to accommodate the heavy pallet weights that Pinnacle required in their brand new warehouse.
