Racking Withstands Seismic Shifts

Hannibal Rack

The Hannibal TubeRack system provides dual moment resistance in both down aisle as well as cross aisle direction. This results in as much as 50% reduction in uplift on the footplate to slab calculation, significantly lessening slab uplift design requirements in all facilities, including installations open to the general public.

TubeRack can be used for selective, double deep, push back, pallet flow, drive-in, pallet shuttle, glide rack and AS/RS systems.

A500 Grade-B structural tubing utilizes the same structural tubing used in building columns and bridges. It also provides up to twice the straightness tolerances of structural channel as defined by ASTM specifications.

Withits modular design, racking configuration changes or repairs are simple and cost effective. Both height and depth of the design can be altered with little effect on ongoing operations.

The ½”, Grade 5, bolted connections eliminate the potential of a broken horizontal or diagonal brace going undetected in a typical existing racking system.
