Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"Does executing pallet rack trade-ins to transition from roll-formed to structural steel alter the dynamic load bearing matrices of a Chicago, IL distribution hub?"

Vanessa Glover Retrofitting & System Upgrade Specialist

Absolutely. Upgrading to structural steel via trade-ins transitions the matrix from relying on cold-rolled friction connections to high-strength bolted joints. This exponentially increases the system's resistance to localized forklift impact and enhances the overall dynamic load-bearing capacity, particularly in demanding LIFO or FIFO deep-lane configurations.
