Dexion Introduce Revolutionary New Beam

have introduced a new revolutionary beam to the P90 range of pallet racking

The 'Silverline' Beam - Advantages & Benefits

Pre-galvanised finish – Longer term durability over painted products. The finish protects and heals itself when scratched – unlike painted items that will continue to corrode.
Dexion drove the UK market with the pre-galv uprights 4 to 5 years ago – now they are once again driving the market with a fully pre-galv racking system.
In Europe currently over 95% of all product supplied is pre-galv – this has increased from less than 50% over the last 5 years due to demand from the market / customers.

Profiled Beam Section – allows beams to be stacked and loaded/ nested together allowing full weight capacity on deliveries (open & box beams are limited on number of beams per load, not weight) resulting in reduced delivery costs.

Profiled Beam Section – gives excellent visibility of beams at high level, together with strength of a proven I section.

Profiled Beam Shoulder – allows improved pallet location, encouraging FLT operator to locate pallet correctly away from the upright, therefore reducing possible damage to frame.

Beam end connector on centre line of beam – unlike a conventional open / box beam with the end connector on the front face of the beam (which positions the upright on the front face of the beam). The Silverline beam locates the upright 31.5mm back from the front face of the beam whilst maintaining the required rack depth front to back over the beams (i.e.900mm overall on the beams would use a 837mm frame.
It does not seem much, but with each upright located 31.5mm behind the front face of beams it increases the aisle width between uprights by 65mm, which can substantially reduce damage

Angled Section of Beam – The angled (approx 45 degrees) top & bottom section of the Silverline beam allows for labels to be located angled down towards the FLT operator. For a low beam position the label can be located on the bottom angled section facing upwards towards the picker.
The angled section will take a 35mm wide label with 30mm high digits.

Removable Label holders – These clip over the top section of the beams and present the label towards the operator at approx 15-20 degrees from vertical. The removable label holder allows labels to be fixed to the holder away from the rack structure and locations can be moved around to client’s requirements.
The label holder will take a 60mm wide x 240mm long label with 50mm high digits
