Rack capacity calculator

This estimator helps field inspectors, warehouse managers, and safety professionals quickly reference published pallet rack capacities across leading manufacturers. Data is sourced directly from manufacturer-published capacity charts.

How it works

Select a manufacturer, enter your beam and upright frame specs, and the tool returns:

• Individual beam capacity — from the beam capacity chart
• Upright frame capacity — from the frame capacity chart
• Sticker read — the lower of the two limiting factors, adjusted by 0.95 and rounded to the nearest 100 lbs

Important caveats

• Values assume undamaged, plumb racks anchored per manufacturer spec
• Capacities do not include seismic, wind, or lateral load considerations
• Current RMI specifications emphasize system-level design, not static frame tables — use these results as a starting point, not a final answer
• A qualified third-party rack inspection is required for formal capacity certification
