Pallet & Rack Size Planner

Preliminary dimensions for selective pallet racking. Pallet support and the complete rack design require project review.

Pallet requirements

Pallet width along the beam (mm)Pallet depth, front to back (mm)Gross weight per pallet (kg)Include the pallet, goods and packaging.Pallets side by side per level

Loaded dimensions

Loaded width including goods overhang (mm)Optional; blank uses the pallet dimension.Loaded depth including goods overhang (mm)Optional; blank uses the pallet dimension.

Planning allowances

Clearance at each upright (mm)Clearance between loaded pallets (mm)Pallet overhang at front (mm)Pallet overhang at rear (mm)

75 mm gaps and 50 mm front/rear overhang are editable examples, not approved minimums or a safety standard. Actual clearances depend on handling equipment, height and project requirements.

Is the pallet approved for beam-supported racking in this orientation?

Preliminary sizing

Sizing only; not structural approval.

Minimum clear bay width: —
Reference frame depth: —
Total gross weight per level: —

Plan view: pallets along the beam

Total gross weight is a loading requirement, not a rated rack capacity. Pallet contact loads may differ from uniformly distributed loading. The existing Q235 beam table must not be treated as approval of this pallet arrangement.

Calculation basis

Clear bay width = pallet count × occupied width + 2 × upright clearance + (count − 1) × inter-pallet clearance. Occupied width is the larger of pallet width and loaded width. This is not overall rack width or a confirmed catalogue beam length.

Reference frame depth = pallet depth − front overhang − rear overhang. Loaded depth is shown separately; it does not determine pallet support. No rack height, aisle width or overall warehouse capacity is calculated.
