At PRS, we love our staff, especially those who have been with us for a long time. As he draws ever closer to a milestone birthday (we aren&#;t telling), we want to acknowledge the enormous impact one of our staff has made on our world of racking. John Cochrane will be no stranger to many of you, with over 20 years of experience in the industry and still going strong. Starting in racking for Victor Industries back in the day when manufacturing was more prominent in New Zealand, he has seen the industry grow and develop into what it is today. Since joining our team in , John (or JC as we call him) has become an invaluable asset to PRS. His great sense of humour, willingness to go the extra mile for the customer and love of a Friday afternoon beer are legendary. We have always said it is our people that set us apart, and JC is a shining example of that. Our clients love JC&#;s problem-solving and creative nature. He is the first point of call for any particularly large or complex racking installations around New Zealand. All of us at PRS want to wish JC a very happy birthday, but we won't say exactly when because we know he hates the spotlight! If you are looking for a racking expert to help you solve your complex storage issues, reach out to John for the insight that only experience brings. #Team #Community #Birthday #HowManyDecades #PRS

When communicating with a supplier about the configuration of a pallet racking system, it can be challenging to grasp the precise details, especially if you're unfamiliar with standard measurements and terminology. At Platinum Storage Solution, our team is dedicated to explaining and guiding you through the process. In this blog post, we provide a comprehensive guide to the fundamental standards for measuring pallet racking.
The market offers a wide range of pallet racking sizes, the most important thing is the length. With the most common being a "standard" 2.7m beam designed to accommodate two pallets. However, the length of such beams can vary, ranging from mm, mm, to mm. To accurately measure the beam length, refer to the image below, ensuring that you use millimeters instead of centimeters.
If you look at the diagram below. L1 is the length that refers to the beam length, it is also called "Tube Length" or "Clear Entry Length"
L6 is the side width of the racking beam
L7 is the top width of the racking beam

Another critical yet often overlooked measurement is the pallet racking pitch. There are three pitch options available in the market: 50mm, 75mm, and 76.2mm. It's crucial to note that beams with a pitch of 75mm are not compatible with those having a pitch of 76.2mm. To measure the pitch correctly, consult the diagram provided below.
Since 75mm and 76.2mm are quite similar, it's recommended to measure the pitch over ten holes. This approach facilitates identification, as the measurement will either be 750mm (indicating a 75mm pitch) or 762mm (indicating a 76.2mm pitch). If you're measuring just over one hole, using a ruler can help distinguish the 1.2mm difference.
At Platinum Storage Solution, we prioritize your understanding and satisfaction. With our expertise, we ensure that you're equipped with the knowledge required to navigate pallet racking measurements effectively.
