PRODUCTS: Rollformed Racking - American Rack (Tear Drop) | Print |
N2-Rollformed-American-Rack-Tear-Drop  

The American Rack (Tear Drop) design has been an industry standard in the USA for many decades with over 30 manufacturers in the USA. 

The tapered key-lock type rivet connectors squares the beam to the column vertically and horizontally, allowing longer engagement than a standard round rivet.  The system is compatible with most American manufacturers.  Our patented plunger-pin system, which may replace conventional safety pins, is also available.

The upright with 5 vertical bends provides greater impact and over-load resistance.   The columns can be easily reinforced with C-channel inserts or the column can be doubled for greater load capacity and impact resistance. 

Our rollformed tubular bracing is stronger than simple channels and less likely to be damaged during impact.

  • Capacities from 10,000 Lbs to 50,000 Lbs with options for double posting
  • 1-5/8” and 3” deep posts for light and heavy applications with centre seam for added impact resistance
  • 14, 13, or 11 gauge posts for different load applications
  • One-piece multi-purpose beam with a rolled-instep plain or pierced to accommodate safety bars, shelf supports and other unique accessories.  Full 1-7/8” top face for superior pallet support
  • Beam vertical adjustment is 2” centres with a clean front face, ideal for retail
  • Our 3” deep bracket allows us to weld our beams front and rear
  • Beam brackets and compression rivets lock the beam to column on both planes to secure the racking.  3 tab or 4 tab brackets are available depending on size and capacity
