Why are pallet racking anchors critical to the entire structure?

Pallet racking anchors are mechanical fasteners used to attach a racking system to a building. Their purpose is to hold the pallet racking in place and resist continuous counter forces such as: earthquakes, wind and tipping forces caused by narrow/high racking, accidental impact forces at the bottom of the columns (i.e. from forklifts) and shear forces (horizontal reaction forces) ) reducing the restraining capacity of the racking.

If the anchors are unable to withstand these attack forces, the consequences can lead to significant bending forces on the columns, affecting the overall stability of the system and, in the worst case scenario, leading to collapse. To avoid this, it is critical to select the correct type of anchor for the different conditions and types of racks in the facility.

What common types of pallet rack anchors can be found in warehouses?

Wedge anchors are a popular type of anchor made of carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized, stainless steel or galvanized steel. These fasteners are primarily used for solid concrete and cannot be removed if you decide to rearrange your pallet racking, as doing so would damage your floor. Concrete impact anchors are anchors in the form of impact expansion and are also used in solid concrete; given their mechanical properties, they should not be installed in any other type of masonry material.

Screw anchors are a less common type of fastener found in warehouses. They are used for temporary or permanent anchoring, since they can be removed and can be installed in concrete and masonry.

Finally, we have sleeve anchors that are perfect for light to medium anchoring in concrete and masonry. Whichever type of anchor you choose, you will find a variety of diameters, lengths and thread lengths.

What size pallet rack anchor is appropriate?

A rule of thumb is that the wider the diameter and the deeper the embedment, the stronger the anchor will be. Therefore, it is important to check local building codes or have an engineer determine the bolt size given that several factors need to be considered: the size of the hole in the base plate of the column, seismic activity, and the area where the anchor is to be used. In addition, the thickness of the floor material, the mechanical properties of the floor material and the flatness of the floor should also be considered in case shims are needed.

How many anchors should a post base carry?

The ANSI/RMI standard states that all rack columns should be anchored using at least one anchor per column. Depending on the type of anchor, two anchors may be installed to prevent the column from rotating upon impact. In the event that the user is unable to properly secure the rack, it is recommended to work with the rack manufacturer’s engineers to verify alternative methods of securing the system while ensuring the structure is safe for use.

Should I tighten a loose anchor?

Bolts and anchors must be properly tightened to the minimum recommended torque specified by the manufacturer. 3/8'’ anchors are typically 40 foot pounds. Under-tightening will cause the anchors to fail.

How to Incorporate Wedge Anchors into a Construction Project

Mechanical bolts are fasteners that secure the structure using wedges. A mechanical bolt is fitted with a sleeve that terminates in a wedge arrangement. When the bolt is tightened, the wedge is driven into the sleeve and jams, providing additional strength. Anchors with wedges are used to secure masonry and concrete structures. These are ideal for assisting in the support of large structures. Continue reading to learn more about these anchors.

To install wedge anchors, a hammer drill equipped with a carbide drill bit and compressed air or vacuum are required. Cleaning and preparing the hole for the wedge anchor is the first step in installation. After cleaning the hole, insert the anchor's nut and threaded end. Tighten and hammer the nut until it penetrates 5 to 6 threads below the surface.

Wedge anchors are available in a variety of materials. Although zinc plated is the most common type, other finishes are available. There are carbon wedge anchors available. Consider the structural and environmental requirements of the setting when selecting a wedge. In corrosive environments, wedge anchors made of hot dipped galvanized steel or stainless steel are ideal. Rust resistance is also critical for securing concrete structures.

Concrete structures are secured using wedge anchors. A hammer drill, a carbide drill bit, and compressed air or a vacuum are required to install wedge anchors. The hole must be clean and drilled to the specified depth, plus an additional 1/2" to allow for dust accumulation during installation. Wedge anchors should be hammered five to six threads below the surface and should be installed as deeply as possible.

The best method for installing wedge anchors is to use a hammer drill. When installing wedge anchors, ensure that the screw diameter of the anchor is compatible with the diameter of the concrete. In general, the size of the anchor is determined by the material's diameter and thickness. Additionally, a hammer drill is more effective than a standard power drill because it is more reliable. If you are unsure of the hole diameter, you can contact the manufacturer or order a custom-made set.

Prior to installing the Wedge Anchor, ensure that the screwdriver is equipped with a hammer for driving the screwdriver into the concrete. The hammer will enlarge the hole more than a standard power drill will. The hammer will assist in driving the screws into the concrete when installing the Wedge Anchor. This is best accomplished with a hammer drill. The torque should be at least half that of the cement's required tensile strength.

Anchors made of wedges can be used to secure steel and concrete structures. Wedge Anchors' holding power is determined by the type of concrete used in the project. It is critical to keep in mind that the depth of embedding will dictate the amount of weight that the anchor can support. Additionally, to ensure maximum strength, the Wedge Anchor must be well embedded in the concrete. To secure metal and wood, a minimum of ten Wedge Anchors should be used.
