Description
Row Spacers evenly space pallet rack frames.
Why do you need Pallet Rack Row Spacers?
- Keep pallet rack rows aligned and even
- Maintain longitudinal flue spaces required by code
- Effectively double upright depth
Tip: Be sure to account for pallet overhang. If your city code requires a 6″ flue space, but your pallets overhang the beams by a few inches, you’ll need a row spacer longer than 6″. The most common row spacer is 12″, which allows for 3″ of overhang on each pallet and still maintains a 6″ flue space.
How many Row Spacers do I need?
If you’re permitting or getting seismic calculations on your project, then the number of row spacers will likely be specified. In absence of specific guidance for your situation, we generally recommend 2 row spacers for each frame up to 12′ high. For rack frames above 12′, you’ll want to use at least 3 row spacers.
How to Install Row Spacers
Racking Row Spacers bolt to the side of the rack upright. Place the bottom row spacer just above the bottom horizontal strut. The top row spacer should be installed just below the top horizontal strut.
