Heavy Duty Racking Systems
Heavy-duty racking is the pallet rack preferred for heavy stocks, especially palletised loads; it is also called pallet stacking racking. The modular build lets the racks be dismantled and reinstalled in another area. Uprights formed for higher strength have holes for height adjustment, so beam levels can follow the type and weight of the stored goods. Locking pins between beam and upright, floor anchors and static bracing tie the system together. Beams are produced from NPI profile and the system is worked with a forklift. Every part is electrostatic powder coated. Depotaraf manufactures this system in its own plant in Kahramankazan.
Light Duty Racking Systems
Light-duty racking is for boxed goods that are handled by hand and do not need a high load capacity. It is built from shelves and box-section beams and can be installed in narrow areas. Uprights are made from sheet or profile according to the requirement. With accessories such as perforated panels, dividers, small-parts bins and hanging bars it is also used as display shelving in retail stores as well as in warehouses. The modular structure can be dismantled and moved. Uprights, beams and shelves are produced in a wide range of sizes. All parts are electrostatic powder coated. Depotaraf manufactures the product in its own factory.
Cantilever Racking Systems
Cantilever racking is made of vertical columns and horizontal arms fixed to them, so long goods such as pipe, profile, timber and sheet can be stored horizontally. Arms can be single- or double-sided, the upright row can be extended to the required length, and the arm layout can later be changed without special tools. Arm length follows the width of the material and arm spacing follows whether the load sags: spacing can be wider for rigid pipe and profile, and tighter for timber and sheet. The system is used for metal profiles, pipe, timber and plastic goods. A capacity label on the product page shows a maximum of 2000 kg on an arm. The system is manufactured at the Kahramankazan plant.
Services
Racking Installation
Racking installation covers erecting the manufactured system on site, anchoring it to the floor and handing it over ready for use. Installation follows the layout approved at the design stage. The sequence is site preparation, a parts count after delivery, setting out, upright and beam assembly, floor fixing, and vertical and horizontal checks. Bracing and bolt tightness are reviewed before handover. In a warehouse that stays in operation, installation proceeds zone by zone. For projects in Ankara the crew is in the same city; elsewhere in Turkey, shipment and installation are planned according to project size.
Racking Design
Racking design determines how the warehouse will be laid out before a purchase decision. The area is measured on site; column spacing, ceiling and beam heights, door and shutter positions and floor condition are recorded. Aisle and bay layout follows product weight and size, how often goods are picked, and whether a forklift, pallet truck or reach truck is used. The plan is drawn, a three-dimensional view can be prepared on request, and production starts after approval. Survey, measurement and the layout plan are free of charge. The service is used for warehouses, archives, production plants, store back rooms and high-ceiling buildings.
Racking Dismantling and Reinstallation
Bolted, modular racking can be dismantled and reinstalled at another address. When a warehouse moves, the existing system is inventoried, parts are grouped and marked during dismantling, and damaged components are set aside. A survey is made for the new warehouse; if the dimensions differ, the layout is redrawn, and the same system may not be rebuilt in exactly the same arrangement in another building. Missing or damaged parts can be remade in the same profile. For businesses changing warehouse, this keeps the investment in the system.
