ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a rack system for use in a warehouse to store pallets loaded with goods. The system includes a plurality of racks which are separated by aisles. Each rack includes a plurality of vertical frames which are spaced apart so as to define storage rows. Each frame includes a plurality of vertical posts and horizontal pallet-rails. The pallet-rails are mounted to the posts so as to extend forwardly beyond the front posts. Thus when the rack is loaded, the front post is "buried" between rows of loaded pallets for protection against fork truck collision. Furthermore, with this positioning of the front post, the entrance or opening to the row is greater than with prior art constructions. The greater opening permits a forklift operator to more easily maneuver loads into the row or permits a reduction in the width of the aisle between racks.
A protector arm assembly is provided for mounting to the front post beneath the extended pallet-rail and extending forwardly of the post for preventing injuries to personnel and loads resulting from striking the end of the rail and for providing additional support for the rail.
