Industrial Grade 6-Foot Teardrop Step Beam for High-Density Warehouse Storage
The Universal Teardrop Pallet Rack Step Beam features a 72-inch clear span length and a 2.5-inch face height, providing an industrial-grade structural frame component for high-density commercial warehouse racking setups. Fabricated from high-strength roll-formed steel with a high-visibility safety orange powder-coated finish, this heavy-duty racking member delivers a uniformly distributed weight capacity of 3,130 pounds per pair. Outfitted with an industry-standard 1-5/8 inch step depth and auto-engaging integrated safety locking clips, this 18.5-pound support beam solves the problem of structural pallet shelf deflection, accidental lift truck dislodgement, and logistical storage layout inefficiencies.
Best Used For:
- 6-Foot Commercial Pallet Racking: Supporting specialized mid-sized industrial pallets or heavy hand-stacked storage containers in manufacturing facilities.
- Wire Mesh Decking Support: Providing a secure 1-5/8 inch step recess to drop in standard wire decks, steel crossbars, or wood structural shelving panels.
- Vertical Rack Layout Customization: Adjusting commercial warehouse storage shelf heights via 2-inch vertical increments to accommodate variable inventory heights.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- Universal Teardrop Connectors: End-piece design matches seamlessly with most major teardrop-style vertical upright frames for rapid system configuration.
- Roll-Formed Steel Core: High-tensile roll-formed industrial steel configuration optimizes weight distribution across the entire 72-inch clear span span.
- Auto-Engaging Safety Locks: Built-in safety locking clips produce an audible snap when locked into place, completely preventing accidental upward dislodgement.
- 1-5/8 Inch Recessed Step Profile: Dual-purpose step edge geometry ensures flush-fitting wire decking or crossbar installation without losing structural clearance.
- High-Visibility Orange Finish: Durable powder-coat coating enhances visual contrast for heavy forklift operators during product loading cycles.

Pro-Tip: When installing 72-inch step beams, always listen closely for the mechanical click of the integrated spring clip seating into the upright frame. Visually inspect that the safety lock pin is completely extended through the corresponding slot; this step guarantees that intense upward force from a misaligned forklift fork will not displace the beam.
