UNEX ROLLER RACK
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about UNEX ROLLER RACK from 3G Electric.
What is the load capacity of UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels?
Each UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf level has a shelf capacity of 3,000 lb. This capacity is per shelf level and assumes proper installation in a compatible boltless flow rack system. The actual load capacity may be limited by the rack structure, beam capacity, and upright capacity. Always verify the overall system capacity with the rack manufacturer or a qualified engineer. The 3,000 lb rating is based on uniform load distribution. Concentrated loads or dynamic forces from product movement may affect performance. For specific applications, consult the rack system documentation or contact 3G Electric for assistance.
What sizes are available for UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels?
UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels are available in multiple sizes, including 48 in x 96 in, 96 in x 72 in, 96 in x 96 in, and 48 in x 72 in. All have a thickness of 2 5/8 in. The size designation typically refers to the width and depth of the shelf level. The correct size depends on the rack bay dimensions and the load size. 3G Electric stocks 14 SKUs of these shelf levels, covering various dimensions. When ordering, confirm the required dimensions match your rack system. Custom sizes may be available from the manufacturer, but 3G Electric's current inventory focuses on the listed sizes.
What material and finish are used in UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels?
UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels are constructed from steel and have a powder-coated finish. The steel provides structural strength, while the powder coating offers a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. The powder-coated finish is typical for industrial rack components and helps protect against wear and environmental factors. The finish color is not specified in the product data, but it is a standard powder coat. The steel material and powder coating are suitable for indoor use in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. For outdoor or wash-down environments, additional protection may be required. The shelf levels are designed for dry storage conditions.
How does the tilt angle on UNEX Roller Rack shelf levels work?
The tilt shelf angle on UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels creates a slight incline that allows gravity to move containers from the load end to the pick end. This is a passive system, requiring no power. The tilt angle is fixed, so the flow speed depends on the angle, the weight of the load, and the friction between the container and the shelf surface. The shelf levels are designed for use with containers that can slide or roll, such as cartons or totes. The tilt angle facilitates first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory rotation when loaded from the rear. The exact angle is not specified in the product data, but it is sufficient for typical gravity flow applications.
Are UNEX Roller Rack shelf levels compatible with any boltless flow rack?
UNEX Roller Rack flow lane shelf levels are designed for use in boltless flow racks. Boltless racks typically use a beam and upright system that allows for tool-free adjustment. The shelf levels are intended to fit standard boltless rack configurations, but compatibility depends on the specific rack brand and model. The shelf levels have a specific size and connection method. Before ordering, verify that the shelf level dimensions and attachment points match your existing rack system. 3G Electric can provide dimensional details to assist with compatibility checks. If you are building a new system, these shelf levels can be combined with compatible boltless rack components from various manufacturers.
