Universal Teardrop Pallet Rack Step Beam 78 Inch 6.5 Foot Length 3.5 In Face Warehouse Storage Support (5500 Lbs Capacity Roll Formed Steel Racking)

Industrial Grade 6.5-Foot Teardrop Step Beam for High-Density Warehouse Storage

The Universal Teardrop Pallet Rack Step Beam features a 78-inch clear span length and a 3.5-inch face height, providing an industrial-grade structural horizontal support system for high-density warehouse storage operations. Fabricated from premium 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 up to 5,500 pounds per pair. Outfitted with an industry-standard 1-5/8 inch inset step depth and integrated automatic safety locking clips, this 19.5-pound support beam solves the problem of structural pallet shelf deflection, accidental lift truck dislodgement, and vertical clearance limitations during heavy loading cycles.

Best Used For:

• 6.5-Foot Commercial Pallet Racking: Supporting industrial pallet sizes or heavy hand-stacked storage containers within automated distribution centers.
• Wire Mesh Decking Support: Providing a secure 1-5/8 inch step recess to drop in standard wire decks, steel safety crossbars, or wood structural shelving inserts.
• Vertical Rack Layout Customization: Adjusting vertical storage shelf heights via 2-inch vertical increments to optimize clearance profiles for high-capacity loads.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Universal Teardrop Connectors: End-piece design with 3-rivet shaved pin rivets matches seamlessly with most major teardrop upright frames.
• Roll-Formed Steel Core: High-tensile roll-formed industrial steel configuration optimizes weight distribution across the entire 78-inch clear span.
• Auto-Engaging Safety Locks: Integrated safety clips ensure a secure, locked connection between the beam and upright to prevent accidental upward dislodgement.
• 1-5/8 Inch Inset Step Profile: Purpose-built step edge geometry ensures flush-fitting wire decking or safety bar installations.
• High-Visibility Orange Finish: Durable powder-coat coating enhances visual contrast for heavy forklift operators during product loading cycles.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When installing 78-inch step beams, check that the horizontal alignment matches across the left and right upright frames before loading. Visually verify that the safety lock pins are fully locked into the teardrop slots; this stops intense upward forces from an unaligned forklift mast from ever shifting the shelf platform.
