HEAVY DUTY Pallet RACKING
Heavy Duty Structural Racks
When conventional pallet racking or Structural Pallet Racking cannot cope with heavy loads, Wickens Heavy Duty Racking is an ideal, cost effective and safe storage solution for various types of heavy products. It has a standard pallet racking configuration, yet is capable of carrying far heavier loads of up to 20 tonnes over an 8 meter span.
Manufactured in the UK, our Heavy Duty Racking uprights and beams are constructed from hot rolled structural steel sections, which make them very robust and able to withstand the rigors of the most arduous industrial environments.
