What is structural steel pallet racking and how is it different from roll-formed racking?

Structural steel pallet racking is built from hot-rolled steel channel members joined with bolted connections. Compared with lighter-gauge roll-formed (teardrop) racking, it offers higher impact resistance from forklifts, greater load capacity per bay and easier field repair, which lowers lifetime cost in high-traffic warehouses and freezers.

Where is Frazier pallet racking manufactured?

Frazier operates manufacturing facilities across the United States, Canada and Mexico, supported by sales and project offices throughout North America. Regional production shortens freight distances and helps keep project schedules predictable.

Can racking be engineered for seismic zones and local building codes?

Yes. Systems are engineered to the RMI ANSI MH16.1 specification and to the seismic and building code requirements of the project location in the U.S. and Canada, with engineering documentation available to support permitting.

What warranty is offered on Frazier racking?

Frazier offers an industry-leading 2-year rack damage warranty in addition to its standard product warranty. Full terms are published on the Our Warranty page.

Does Frazier work with ASRS integrators?

Yes. Frazier's high-rise engineering team works directly with leading automation integrators on free-standing ASRS racking and rack supported buildings, coordinating tolerances, loads and structural requirements from concept through installation.

Unrivaled Expertise in Industrial Storage Manufacturing

As a premier Custom OEM Industrial Rack Storage Manufacturer, we integrate deep industry knowledge with precision engineering. Our factories utilize high-grade steel to deliver pallet racking solutions that exceed global safety standards (RMI/FEM). We don’t just build racks; we provide scalable infrastructure that optimizes vertical cube utilization and improves inventory throughput.

Future Procurement Trends

Modern supply chains are shifting toward automated-ready storage. Trends show a move away from standard selective racks toward high-density, seismic-compliant systems that integrate seamlessly with ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems). Procurement managers are now prioritizing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), favoring our structural steel solutions over light-gauge alternatives due to superior impact resistance and lower replacement cycles.

Why Partner With Our Factories?

Engineering Excellence: Custom load-bearing calculations tailored to your specific seismic and local building codes.
Information Gain: We provide detailed site-audit insights, helping you visualize space recovery before manufacturing begins.
Reliability: 100% factory-direct production ensures rigorous quality control and lead-time transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of structural steel over roll-formed steel?

Structural steel provides vastly superior impact resistance. In high-traffic environments, our bolted, hot-rolled channel designs withstand forklift collisions that would typically deform roll-formed systems, ensuring a safer, long-term warehouse environment.

Can you customize racks for specific load dimensions?

Yes. As a custom OEM, we engineer racks based on your exact pallet weight, dimensions, and SKU velocity, ensuring optimal structural integrity and space efficiency.

How do you handle seismic zone requirements?

Our engineering team performs a thorough site analysis to meet all regional seismic standards and safety regulations, providing full documentation required for local permitting.
