Product Details

WARNING: Widespan Beams are intended to be used with Widespan Shelf Supports. If Shelf Supports are not installed then the beams MUST utilize one of two Widespan Multi-Function Beam Locking Clip, WS1291 or WS9111, depending on the beam location. Failure to do this could allow the Beam to become disengaged causing product damage or personal injury.
Size Information

- Overall length: (Nominal section width plus 1/2”) times the number of sections, plus 1 3/4” for each post in the run

Pallet Loaded Widespan Consideration
- Forklifts must NOT be used, only a hand loader/stacker is safe to use
- Order “RE” Reinforced Uprite Frames when planning to use hand loader/stacker
- Beam locking hardware required when using hand loader/stacker
- Shelf supports are required for all applications to stabilize beam. If not used then beam locking clip is required
- Aisle side Uprite posts must be anchored to floor
- Total weight of palletized goods MUST NOT exceed one half of evenly distributed Beam capacity
- Allow at least 3” clearance between pallet and Uprite Frame, at least 4” clearance between pallets
- Pallets should overhang both Beams by at least 2”, otherwise Particleboard or Wiregrid Shelves must be used
