Optimizing Aisle Ratios for Selective Racking Layouts
We understand that floor space is expensive, so we do not waste it on unnecessarily wide aisles. We map your specific forklift turning radiuses to engineer a layout that maximizes your rack density while maintaining safe, high-speed travel lanes.
Seismic Base Shear Compliance in Selective Pallet Racking
While offering maximum accessibility, selective pallet racking requires rigorous longitudinal and transverse bracing to neutralize center-of-gravity shifts. Erecting this standard storage architecture in a Wichita facility mandates exact adherence to local seismic base shear calculations, utilizing heavy-duty wedge anchors to prevent overturning moments during dynamic operational loading.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A
Question
"Does the installation of wire decking alter the transverse deflection calculations for load-bearing step beams on selective pallet racking in Wichita, KS?"
Matt Handler Director of Warehouse Storage Design
Yes. Wire decking modifies how point loads are distributed across the beam's longitudinal span, converting localized stress into a more uniform static load. However, the step beam's deflection limit—strictly mandated at L/180—must still be calculated based on the maximum rated pallet weight rather than the decking's standalone capacity.
