Global Industrial 504357 Bulk Storage Rack Starter 72x36x96

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL 504357 is a three-level extra heavy-duty bulk storage rack starter unit with steel deck, designed for hand-loaded industrial and warehouse storage applications. The starter configuration includes two upright frames and three shelf levels surfaced with 5/8-inch thick rib-formed steel decking in a galvanized finish. Uprights are constructed from 14-gauge steel at 1-3/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches and allow beam height adjustment on 2-inch centers. Heavy-duty 12-gauge formed step beams attach to the frames without tools using three hooks at each end for a positive, secure connection. The overall unit dimensions are 72 inches wide by 36 inches deep by 96 inches tall.

This rack is suited for industrial, commercial, and warehouse environments where bulk hand-loaded materials need organized, high-capacity storage. The formed step beam frame design delivers nearly twice the per-level capacity of standard bulk rack configurations, making it well suited for distribution centers, maintenance shops, manufacturing facilities, and storage rooms. This is a starter unit intended to stand alone or serve as the anchor unit in a row when paired with compatible add-on bay sections. The gray powder-coat finish is appropriate for both indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by general laborers or facilities maintenance personnel. Beams attach to upright frames without tools, but the assembled unit and individual components are heavy - a minimum two-person lift is recommended given the total unit weight of 181.8 pounds. Anchor the upright frames to the floor per applicable local building codes and ANSI MH16.1 rack safety standards before loading. Never exceed the rated per-level load capacity, and always load shelves from the bottom level up to maintain stability.
