Description · Racking Feet

Secure your industrial storage structures with heavy-duty racking feet engineered to provide absolute floor stability across Irish warehouse installations. Built with a robust 120x120x3 mm steel base plate and a welded support for floor anchoring, this 0.25 kg blue component firmly secures vertical frames to prevent accidental shifting under demanding industrial loads. Engineered for exceptional durability and long-term operational safety, these blue racking feet offer an essential ground foundation for commercial facilities throughout Ireland.

The metal shelving base is the essential component that anchors your storage system to the floor, providing a solid and secure foundation. Its 120x120x3 mm base plate, along with a welded support, ensures that the uprights are firmly secured, preventing any unwanted movement. This robustness is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the entire structure, especially when handling heavy loads. Made of high-strength steel and weighing 0.25 kg, this base ensures exceptional durability and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, such as warehouses, workshops, or plants. Its blue finish not only makes it easy to identify but also adds a layer of resistance against wear, making it a smart choice for operational safety and the longevity of your equipment.

Choosing the right metal shelving base is the first step to optimizing your storage space. Its blue finish integrates easily into most industrial environments, combining functionality and a professional aesthetic. This component is the foundation upon which structures capable of supporting significant loads rest, ensuring stability for a wide range of pallets and goods. By ensuring a firm anchor to the ground, this base minimizes the risk of collapse, contributing to a safer and more efficient work environment. It is the key piece for those seeking reliability and durability in their storage systems, an indispensable element for any facility requiring robust and secure palletizing solutions.

To optimize the functionality and safety of your equipment, the metal shelving base is a crucial element. Its 120x120 mm base plate, with a thickness of 3 mm and a welded support, provides a robust fixing for the uprights, preventing any movement or displacement. This is fundamental for the integrity of the entire structure, especially when managing considerable weight loads. Made of strong steel and weighing only 0.25 kg, this base guarantees prolonged durability and reliable performance in demanding environments such as warehouses or workshops. Its blue finish not only facilitates its location but also offers additional protection against wear.

The correct installation of this metal shelving base is the first step to ensuring the stability of your storage configurations. Although it does not define the number of levels, its solidity is vital for supporting the most robust structures you wish to implement. The dimensions of your shelving units, the load capacity per level and per bay, will depend on the upright frames and beams you choose to complement the base. This base acts as a secure starting point for building storage systems tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that each shelf, whether for pallets or loose items, has a firm foundation. Operational safety and the longevity of your investment depend on the quality of this essential component.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Racking Feet · Plate 120x120 mm

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.
