The rack used in this disaster was a common open-back variety pallet rack. If this warehouse had been using SK2000 pallet rack, the results may have been different. SK2000 pallet rack has:

• 250% more frontal impact resistance; and

• 68% more side impact resistance than open-back rack.

   

Still don’t believe there is a difference? Watch the video below, which shows a side-by-side comparison of what happens when 700 lbs is dropped on SK2000 rack and open-back rack.

Want even more impressive results for your customers? Add Column Core to Steel King’s already superior SK2000 pallet rack and get a full 5 times more impact resistant at the front corners and sides where the uprights are most vulnerable.
