The formula to calculate the pallet racking capacity is:
\[ PRC = ML \times LPB \times B \]
Where:
Pallet Racking Capacity refers to the total weight that a pallet racking system can support. This is determined by multiplying the maximum load per item or pallet by the number of loads per beam and then by the number of beams per stack. Knowing the pallet racking capacity is crucial for ensuring safety and stability in storage and warehouse operations.
Example 1:
Calculation:
\[ PRC = 500 \times 4 \times 3 = 6000 \text{ lbs} \]
Example 2:
Calculation:
\[ PRC = 300 \times 5 \times 2 = 3000 \text{ lbs} \]
