Beams
Pallet Rack Beams
We have all sizes of beams in stock for your pallet racking needs! All beams are brand new Interlake brand, American-made teardrop style beams.
These pallet racking beams have advanced spring-loaded safety clips. Most beams have a small metal clip that pops off easily if hit with a forklift — that can cause a very bad accident. These are designed not to pop off: once snapped in place the spring locks down and has to be pulled back to be released.

Why our beams don’t pop out
Most beams hold on with a small metal clip that can pop off if a forklift bumps the beam — and that can cause a very bad accident.
Ours use a spring-loaded safety lock. Once the beam snaps into the teardrop slots, the spring locks down and has to be pulled back by hand before the beam can lift out.

FAQ
Pallet Rack Beams: common questions
How do I choose the right pallet rack beam?
Match the beam length to your pallets (96″ holds two standard 40″ pallets, 144″ holds three), then pick a face height whose per-pair capacity exceeds the heaviest load you'll put on that level. Taller beam faces carry more weight.
Are your beam capacities per beam or per pair?
The ratings we list are per shelf — that's a pair of beams, front and back — with the load evenly distributed.
What are spring-loaded safety clips?
Most beams use a small metal clip that can pop out if a forklift hits the beam. Our beams use spring-loaded safety locks: once snapped in place the spring locks down and has to be pulled back to release, so the beam can't lift out of the upright.
