Steel King SK2000 Teardrop Pallet Rack with Closed Back Upright Frames

Steel King’s SK2000® Boltless Pallet Rack is an innovative solution designed to meet the demanding needs of warehouse and distribution facility owners. This product combines durability, safety, and flexibility, offering significant advantages over conventional storage systems. The key benefits of this product are:

Enhanced Durability and Safety

The SK2000 upright frames are constructed with closed structural tubing, which provides 44 times more resistance to torsional impacts from forklifts compared to open-back rack designs. This makes it stand out in environments where forklifts are used frequently, reducing the risk of damage and associated repair costs. The product also features heavy-duty 10-gauge footpads welded directly to the uprights, ensuring better load distribution and anchoring stability. Also, the frame connections use full fillet welds rather than spot welds, offering up to four times the strength of competitor racks, which translates to higher safety and reliability​​.

Ease of Maintenance and Cost Savings

The SK2000 is designed with practical features like interchangeable tear-drop slots and strategically placed holes that allow for easy integration with existing systems. Damaged frames can be replaced without discarding compatible load beams. The high-strength steel construction ensures a long service life, minimizing replacement needs​.

Operational Flexibility

Warehouses and distribution centers often deal with evolving storage needs, and the SK2000 accommodates this with features such as 2-inch vertical beam adjustability. The system’s 3-rivet beam connections and integrated safety locks allow quick and secure installation. Also, these safety locks exceed industry standards, providing added protection against accidents​.

Cleaner and More Efficient Design

The SK2000 load beams are constructed from continuously welded structural tubing, eliminating ledges and cracks where debris or moisture might accumulate. This cleaner design reduces maintenance time and enhances operational hygiene, which can be critical in industries such as food distribution​ and pharmaceuticals.

Together, these benefits create a reliable and scalable system ideal for any modern warehouse.
