Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STEEL KING from 3G Electric.
What are the standard heights and gauges available for Steel King Impact-Resistant Teardrop Pallet Rack Uprights?
Steel King Impact-Resistant Teardrop Pallet Rack Uprights are available in standard overall heights such as 12 ft and 16 ft, with a typical cross-section of 42 in x 3 in. The upright gauge is commonly 16 ga, as seen in models like the RTFBP042192F01PB (16 ft) and RTFAP042144F01VG (12 ft). These dimensions are designed to accommodate standard pallet loads and rack configurations. For specific load requirements, consult the manufacturer's specifications for each model.
Are Steel King step beams compatible with teardrop uprights from other manufacturers?
Steel King step beams, such as the SBRUM400096ZCSD02P, are designed with a teardrop connection type that is compatible with Steel King's own teardrop upright frames. While the teardrop pattern is a common industry standard, compatibility with other manufacturers' uprights depends on the specific dimensions and tolerances of the beam and upright. It is recommended to verify the beam's connection type and dimensions against the upright's slot pattern before installation.
What is the load capacity of Steel King step beams like the SBRUM400096ZCSD02P?
The Steel King step beam model SBRUM400096ZCSD02P has a rated capacity of 5,080 lb. This capacity is for a beam measuring 96 in x 3 in x 4 in, roll-formed from steel. Other step beam models, such as the SBRUM475108P (108 in length), have a capacity of 5,480 lb. Capacities are based on uniform distributed loads and assume proper installation with compatible uprights and safety factors.
Does Steel King offer seismic-rated upright frames for pallet racks?
Yes, Steel King offers seismic-rated upright frames, such as the model RTFBG042144F042XBVG, which is a teardrop upright frame with a 12 ft overall height and 42 in x 3 in dimensions. This frame is designed to meet seismic requirements for rack systems in earthquake-prone regions. The seismic rating is indicated by the part number suffix and specific design features, such as additional bracing or thicker steel. For detailed seismic compliance data, refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
What colors are available for Steel King pallet rack components?
Steel King pallet rack components are available in several standard colors, including blue (e.g., upright RTFBP042192F01PB), green (e.g., upright RTFBG042192F01VG), orange (e.g., beam SBRUM400096ZCSD02P), and yellow (e.g., guard SP3L1024YW). Some items, like the waterfall pallet support PSWSG036G, have a zinc-plated finish with a gray appearance. Color options may vary by product family and availability.
How do Steel King post protectors mount on uprights?
Steel King post protectors, such as the snap-on guard model SP3L1024YW, are designed for slot-mount installation on uprights. They measure 3 in x 1 1/2 in x 24 in and include a safety clip for secure attachment. The guard snaps onto the upright's teardrop slots, providing impact protection without requiring tools. This mounting method allows for easy installation and removal for maintenance or repositioning.
