| How To Choose Beams:
1. Determine load weights per pair of beams (two 2500 Lb. pallet loads = 5000 Lb. beam capacity).
2. Determine length of beam required based on load width and minimum clearances (minimum clearance between pallets and pallet to upright is 4", or for two 48" pallets, a total of 12". Use 108" beam).
3. Refer to desired beam length and move across chart to rated capacities. (For 108" beam and 5000 Lb. load, select Medium Duty beam TBS3108.)
4. Using type of beam (Light, Medium or Heavy) and length of beam required, determine stock product number from ordering information.
Beams 120" long and greater should be tied together with at least one front-to-back support except when solid decking panels are used. Beams conform to the standards set by the 1997 Rack Manufacturers' Institute LRFD Specifications and 1996 American Iron and Steel Institute LRFD Specifications for pallet rack design.
