  • Publication number: 20150108303
    Abstract: The general purpose of the new bracket assembly is to provide a simple, yet versatile and adaptable, mechanism for restricting the movement of loaded pallets on and off pallet racks and within any level of pallet rack bay. In general, the bracket assembly converts a horizontal pallet rack beam into a “load stop” by securing the horizontal beam to the back of the pallet rack such that it prevents damage to walls from otherwise protruding forklifts, pallets and other devices that might be used to load and position pallets onto pallet racks. The new adaptable U-shaped bracket assembly provides a lightweight solution to pallet rack load stops.

  • Publication number: 20150060381
    Abstract: The new adjustable pallet rack stopper assembly facilitates the positioning of a pallet onto or under a pallet rack to prevent damage to a facility caused by the pallet, itself, or by material handling equipment during the pallet positioning process, as well as to prevent general displacement of the pallet while preserving necessary space between the pallet and the facility wall, piping, doors, electrical conduit, or other items adjacent to the pallet rack. The present invention is a compact, highly adaptable, and inexpensively elegant solution to these common problems arising in storage facilities using pallet rack storage systems.
