Description · Steel Warehouse Racking 1500 kg

Installing high-capacity steel warehouse racking provides Irish facilities with an efficient storage solution featuring a 255 cm height and 269 cm clear span. This model delivers 1500 kg per level across 5 beam heights, accommodating up to 18 euro pallets per bay including the floor space. Built with 2 blue RAL 5010 upright frames and 10 orange RAL 2002 reinforced beams, the 162.81 kg unit relies on base plates, bolts, nuts, and anchors for firm floor fixing while safety pins lock each connector securely.

Opting for this high-density steel warehouse racking configuration delivers 5 beam levels alongside the floor surface, providing 6 distinct loading heights per bay. Each tier accommodates 3 Euro pallets measuring 800x1200 mm or 2 American pallets measuring 1000x1200 mm, allowing businesses to store up to 18 Euro pallets in a single bay. Compared to setups with 2, 3, or 4 levels, this structure maximises vertical room height within a 255 cm elevation, serving facilities aiming to store lighter palletised loads on multiple tiers efficiently.

Engineered to handle substantial storage demands, this steel warehouse racking unit offers a load capacity of 1500 kg per beam level for evenly distributed weight, reaching 7500 kg across all 5 elevated beam tiers. Floor load capacity depends on concrete slab strength rather than the framework. Built with a height of 255 cm, a clear span of 269 cm, and a depth of 100 cm, the kit weighs 162.81 kg. The 100 cm depth aligns perfectly with standard 1200 mm length pallets while maintaining optimal stability.

Every kit component of this steel warehouse racking structure fits together easily without welding. Each upright frame combines 2 uprights with a 90x60 mm profile, joined by 6 diagonal bracing bars and 4 horizontal bracing bars secured with M10x75 bolts and M10 nuts. The 4 base plates measuring 120x120x3 mm attach to the uprights and anchor to concrete floors using M10x70 expansion anchor bolts. The 10 reinforced beams with a 120x45 mm profile connect into slot profiles, held firm by 2 safety pins per beam.

Featuring standard industrial finishes, the upright frames of this steel warehouse racking option are supplied in blue RAL 5010, while the reinforced beams feature bright orange RAL 2002. Facilities requiring extra protection can fit upright protectors or floor-mounted protection barriers in orange RAL 2004 or yellow RAL 1023 to guard against impact. For manual hand picking, adding a 2650 mm shelf creates flat picking surfaces on any level, while add-on bays connect directly to extend storage runs by sharing upright frames.

This system provides a highly effective storage layout for busy logistics centres, industrial units, and commercial storage facilities across Ireland. Selecting 5 beam levels instead of smaller height profiles allows operators to maximise vertical volume without sacrificing accessible picking space. Whether storing fast-moving goods or organised inventory, this steel warehouse racking setup delivers robust support and versatile load distribution. Additional starter and add-on modules can be configured seamlessly to expand overall facility storage capacity whenever operational needs increase.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Steel Warehouse Racking 1500 kg · 5 Levels · 255x269 cm

Pallet racking and forklift operation

In Ireland, pallet racking in a forklift-served warehouse is work equipment under Part 2, Chapter 2 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 299/2007), implementing the EU Work Equipment Directive (now Directive 2009/104/EC). installed and located correctly (Reg. 28); stabilised by clamping or some other means where necessary for safety (Reg. 33), in practice erected as per the manufacturer’s instructions with the uprights anchored to the floor; maintained throughout its working life (Reg. 31); and inspected by a competent person after installation and re-assembly, then periodically and by special inspection after an accident, a modification or any other exceptional event, with records kept for 5 years (Reg. 30). Traffic routes must be dimensioned for the number of users and the type of undertaking, pedestrians given sufficient safety clearance where trucks share them, and areas where objects could fall clearly indicated and access controlled (Reg. 14). Health and Safety Authority guidance asks for the maximum safe load prominently marked on all racks, racking checked regularly for damage and uprights protected from impact; its Code of Practice on the Safe Use of Industrial Trucks adds that features of the operating area such as racking should be clearly marked and protected against accidental damage. EN 15635, the European standard on the use and maintenance of storage equipment, is a technical reference for organising those checks, not a legal obligation.
