  1. How To Calculate Height-To-Width Ratio Of Pallet Racking & Cantilever Racking

  2. What Is Height-to-Width Ratio in Pallet and Cantilever Racking Systems? When it comes to industrial storage solutions, the height-to-width ratio (also known as the height-to-depth ratio) refers to the difference between the height and width of the unit itself. Ideally, the height of the unit should be greater than the width of the base to establish a stable foundation and should not exceed a 6:1 ratio.

  3. Calculating Height-to-Width Ratio of Pallet Racking Systems Use a measuring tape to measure the height of the unit from the floor to the highest beam. This will give you an exact height.  Next, you have to measure the width of the base. Measure from the exterior of the front column to the exterior of the back column and double check your measurements.  After you’re finished measuring and have the values of the height and width, divide the value of the height by the value of the width.

  4. Calculating Height-to-Width Ratio of Pallet Racking Systems For instance, let’s say a standard pallet rack has a height of about 240 inches and the width is about 40 inches. 240 divided by 40 equals exactly 6. This is an ideal height-to-width ratio for a standard industrial pallet racking system. 

  5. Calculating Height-to-Width Ratio of Cantilever Racking Systems To calculate the height-to-width ratio of cantilever racking systems, start by measuring the length of the columns from the floor to the highest beam. Make sure all of the columns are the same height.  Next, you have to measure the distance or height between each beam. Since the beam height can be adjusted for each load, it’s important to make sure they’re all even according to the type and weight of the load.  Lastly, measure the length of each arm to ensure that they’re equal to the height between the beams. This will allow for more accurate and even weight distribution.
