Palet Supports

J&L, a leader in wire decking now provides pallet supports, an important accessory for most rack systems. How better to enhance the overall integrity and stability of a storage rack than by the addition of pallet supports. It is important to note that these accessories do not affect the load bearing capacities sited by the rack manufactures, but they do improve the overall rigidity of the rack system. The two basic types found today include the double flanged and top-hat style products. J&L offers these in sizes ranging from 24” to 72”.

Double-Flanged Support – The support consists of four distinct corners folded inward forming a box shape, opened at the bottom. The ends are opened to fit closely over and around the top of the front and rear rack beams. Holes are punched on the flanged section at the ends that wrap around the beam so that tek screws may be applied to prevent movement of the support on the beam.


Top-Hat Style Support – This support also contains four distinct corners however, the bottom edge is folded outward not inward, leaving the bottom fully open. The support is cut to be flush at the end allowing it to butt up against the inside step portion of the rack beam, while the bottom flared section rests on the inside step of the rack’s step beam. Holes are punched on the bottom edge that is folded outward for the addition of tek screws to prevent movement of the support on the beam. Once attached, the top of the support is flush with the front and rear beams.


The Benefits:
•Reduces the potential for bowed rack beams when properly attached


•Helps to stabilize the entire rack system


•Helps forklift operators to load pallets on deep and hard-to-see rack sections by providing a place to “catch” a misaligned pallet

•Provides an added layer of protection for pallets by reducing the potential for dropped loads

•Opened style of the support prevents water, foreign material, and debris from becoming trapped

•Use of 14 & 16 GA galvanized-structural sheet steel reduces the potential for rust while providing
the strength needed to create a stable platform with a yield strength that exceeds many of the competitors’ offerings


•Durable galvanized finish will provide years of protection


Note: Pallet supports do not contribute to the load capacities sited by the rack manufacturers. Pallet supports are intended to add support to the pallets, while load capacities are determined by the configuration of the rack and type of beams used. Pallet supports help to facilitate the overall effectiveness of the rack system whereby improving stability, workability, and safety of the system.
