Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"What torque calibration protocols are mandated when executing a heavy-duty pallet rack installation utilizing high-tensile wedge anchors in Pawtucket, RI?"

Derek Brooks Logistics & Installation Project Manager

Precision pallet rack installation requires utilizing a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer-specified ft-lbs limit (typically between 50-90 ft-lbs for 5/8" anchors). Under-torquing compromises the seismic base shear compliance, while over-torquing induces micro-fracturing in the foundational concrete slab and risks stripping the anchor threading.

Q: What happens to my old steel?

We can liquidate it, trade it in, or haul it to the scrap yard so it does not choke up your active loading dock.
