Advice on Setting up Pallet Racking

Before going to the next unit, it is vital to make sure that the first unit is plumb (vertical to ¼" in 10') and square.}

Next, you will have to install the other beam levels in your first unit. Now, the first unit can support itself after you put it together. Before setting up the beam levels, you need to mount the upright structures to add units to the row. Always make sure to have the rack square and plumb until the row is finished.

Using the previous steps, you can then assemble the next rows. For a back-to-back row with back-to-back firm ties available, you will need to secure them between the matching upright columns. But, if the row is against the wall and rigid wall spacers are available, then the most important step is to bolt the spacers to the uprights then attach them to the wall with wall anchors measuring 5/16" in diameter.

{When the racking is finally squared, you will then need to anchor the uprights to the floor with anchor bolts measuring 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inch.
