Global Industrial 290760 Teardrop Pallet Rack Starter Unit

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 290760 is a teardrop pallet rack starter unit built for industrial storage applications requiring heavy-duty structural capacity. Constructed from heavy-gauge welded steel, the unit ships with two upright frames and two pairs of shelf beams. The one-piece 14-gauge steel uprights carry an epoxy finish for long-term durability and accept beam height adjustments at 2-inch increments. Beams are fabricated from 15-gauge steel in a 1-5/8-inch step beam profile, supporting cross bars and decking accessories. A positive 6-way locking connection automatically snaps each beam into the upright frame and holds it secure under load.

This starter rack unit is intended for warehouse, distribution, and industrial storage environments where high-density pallet storage is required. The teardrop-style connection system is a widely used standard in commercial racking, making this unit compatible with most teardrop-profile add-on bays. At 120 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 120 inches tall, the unit provides substantial vertical storage capacity. A shelf capacity rating of 5,630 pounds makes it suitable for storing heavy palletized goods across multiple beam levels. Typical installers include warehouse operations staff, facilities teams, and material handling contractors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified material handling or facilities personnel following applicable local building codes and ANSI MH16.1 rack safety standards. Anchor uprights to a concrete floor using appropriate anchor hardware through the welded base plate before loading any shelves. Inspect all beam-to-upright locking connections for full engagement before placing loads. Never exceed the rated shelf capacity of 5,630 pounds and ensure loads are distributed evenly across beam levels.
