Global Industrial 412342 Bolted Teardrop Pallet Rack Starter

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 412342 is a bolted teardrop pallet rack starter unit built for heavy-duty warehouse, retail, and manufacturing storage applications. The system features 13-gauge steel uprights and 16-gauge steel beams, delivering a 5,030 lb per shelf capacity and a 33,000 lb total rated capacity. Uprights arrive partially assembled to simplify setup and allow flexible configuration. The self-engaging spring-loaded safety clip and 3-button stud connector plate ends secure beams to uprights without tools, while 8.8-grade tensile strength bolts with limited threads prevent over-tightening at the column joints.

This starter unit measures 96 inches wide, 48 inches deep, and 120 inches tall, making it suitable for standard pallet storage bays in distribution centers, warehouses, retail back stock areas, and manufacturing facilities. The teardrop upright design allows beam height adjustment at 2-inch increments. The 1-5/8-inch step beam profile accommodates crossbars and decking panels. Individual frame components can be replaced separately, reducing repair costs when a single element is damaged. The knock-down shipping configuration reduces freight and storage costs during transport.
