Freezer and cooler storage pallet rack must withstand some of the greatest forklift abuse in warehouse material handling. This can be attributed to a number of factors including confined space, slick surfaces, and the cold temperatures ranging from 31° down to -20°F that slow driver reflexes and make impact more frequent.
As a result, typical roll formed rack - which a less expensive, lower strength option ideal for most standard warehouse storage applications - is often not the best match for freezer and cold storage. Since it can be subjected to increased impact and damage it can cause unnecessary downtime and require premature repair or replacement.
