Rack Mounted Roofs
discover the features of irs
It is well recognised in the building supplies industry that up to 15 % timber wastage occurs through exposure to weather. The rack mounted roof structure provides a very cost effective shelter for storage of timber packs with excellent select-ability. The addition of infill PVC curtains between the posts gives further protection from prevailing winds. Available in either single or double sided configurations these covered racks are ideal for a site with a designedly limited life span. Being modular the solution is very flexible and can be added to as demand increases. Based on our Heavy duty Cantilever system the addition of the roof structure can be retro fitted to increase the net value of existing rack installations.
FAQ
The double sided rack mounted roofs have a central gutter and downpipe. The single sided racks have sufficient roofing overhang (over the back of the post) to allow the water to run off the roof without falling on the product so a gutter is not required.
The racks can be levelled using shims to ensure all posts are aligned to each other. It is most important to ensure the post structures are aligned and level in the cross aisle direction. The racks do not need to be exactly level in the down aisle direction. They are best to be built inline with the subsurface falls, in the down aisle direction to ensure the forklift is inline with the racks when loading product onto the racks.
4, 5 or 6m high posts are the most common sizes for rack mounted roofs.
The beauty of the IRS system is it is a modular system which caters very well to planned staged installs. It is no problem to add to the roof structure at a later date.
