Description · Racking Nuts

Securing structural frames in Irish warehouses requires reliable hardware like these heavy-duty racking nuts, supplied in a convenient pack of 10. Designed specifically for M10 bolts, these zinc-plated nuts provide essential fastening for cross bracing, upright feet, and general pallet rack maintenance. Weighing just 0.09 kg per set, their zinc-plated finish delivers superior corrosion resistance against rust in demanding commercial environments. Perfect for maintaining overall frame stability, these M10 racking nut fastenings ensure tight, secure connections across your industrial storage installations without slop or unwanted loosening over time.

This dedicated structural hardware packet provides essential M10 fasteners, operating as an anchoring component rather than a load-bearing surface. Facilities across Ireland benefit from securing vertical bracing using reliable M10 racking nuts that prevent structural movement under heavy daily use. By using these specialized threaded fasteners for diagonal support ties and upright feet, safety managers maintain full system integrity without compromising floor safety or structural alignment.

Designed for securing bracing and upright feet, this compact 10-piece set provides reliable structural fastenings. While individual items like storage boxes, oil drums, archive files, or heavy tools are not stored directly upon a racking nut, these fasteners lock vital structural supports firmly in place. Incorporating precise M10 threading ensures each individual racking nut holds heavy cross-members safely together across varied commercial storage layouts.

Manufactured as standard hexagonal fasteners weighing 0.09 kg per pack, this hardware set integrates seamlessly with standard M10 bolts to lock upright posts and bracing ties securely. Assembling steel bay components requires tightening these heavy-duty racking nuts onto corresponding bolts across base plates and structural diagonal ties. Proper installation prevents unwanted joint looseness, providing commercial facilities with exceptional rigidity and reliable mechanical connection stability throughout demanding daily operational activity.

Supplied in a clean zinc-plated finish, every fastener in this 10-pack provides superior resistance against rust and environmental corrosion in demanding commercial environments. Selecting bright zinc-plated racking nuts ensures that structural joints remain simple to service during routine safety inspections while maintaining a tidy overall appearance. Our wider hardware selection includes alternative thread sizes and fixing packs, allowing facility managers to match precise structural bolt requirements across diverse metal storage setups.

Perfect for busy commercial warehouses, maintenance workshops, stockrooms, and garage spaces, this 10-piece hardware pack is the right choice for structural maintenance and assembly repairs. Rather than purchasing complete storage bays, choosing these specific replacement racking nuts allows technical teams to service existing upright bracing and base feet economically. Keeping essential structural spares on hand ensures your facility maintains strict workplace safety standards and continuous operational readiness.

Frequently asked questions · Racking Nuts

What is the maximum load that structures can support when using these galvanized M10 rack nuts?
The load per level and per module depends on the specific structure design. These M10 nuts are the component for fixing the bracing and the shelf base plate, contributing to overall stability. Always consult your shelving model's specifications for exact load figures.
How many centimeters high is each shelving level, measured from the floor, when these galvanized rack nuts are mounted?
The height of each level, measured from the floor, is determined by the structure configuration and the selected supports, not by the M10 nuts themselves. The assembly allows for configuring different level heights, adapting to your needs.
How many pallets can I store per level if I use this type of galvanized rack nut?
The number of pallets that fit per level is determined by the pallet dimensions and the structure design. These M10 nuts are a fastening element that contributes to the overall load capacity of the structure.
What is the difference between this model with galvanized rack nuts and one with more or fewer levels?
The main difference lies in the total height and the number of levels the structure can accommodate, which is conditioned by the length of the uprights and supports. These M10 nuts are a standard fastening component applicable to various configurations.
Are these galvanized rack nuts compatible with wooden shelves?
These M10 nuts are designed to fix the bracing and the base plate of metal structures. If you wish to integrate wooden shelves, you must ensure that there are appropriate supports and holes on the main structure for their correct installation.
How is the assembly and anchoring of structures using these galvanized rack nuts performed?
Assembly involves fixing the bracing and the structure's base plate using these M10 nuts and the corresponding hardware. Anchoring to the floor is a crucial step for stability and is done using specific fastening elements for each type of floor.
What maximum load per module can structures support when using these galvanized rack nuts?
The load per module, like the load per level, depends on the complete structure design. These M10 nuts secure the joints, but the total capacity is defined by the profiles and the system configuration.
What type of corrosion protection do these galvanized rack nuts offer?
The galvanized finish of these M10 nuts provides them with notable resistance to corrosion, helping to prevent rust and extending the lifespan of the joints in storage environments. The pack contains 10 units.

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.
