Use this simple formula to start: Beam Load Capacity (per pair) = Load Weight per Pallet × Number of Pallets per Level 1,000 lbs × 2 = 2,000 lbs per beam level Now match this to your beam specs. Always refer to the manufacturer's rating chart for accuracy. Rack load capacity is the maximum weight a rack system can safely support under specific loading conditions. Frame dimensions: height, depth, and column width. Material type: cold-formed or hot-rolled steel. Different racks, such as selective pallet racks, drive-in racks, or cantilever racks, have distinct load specifications. The length, profile height, and gauge of steel. Damotech offers load capacity calculation and certification services by qualified engineers with expertise in industrial pallet racking systems.
