Model (22MSBS) - BRACE-SETS FOR CANTILEVER RACKS (STANDARD-DUTY COLUMNS) ; ...
(PRODUCT CODE: 22MSBS)... Braces are structural channel members that are bolted between pairs of uprights to provide lateral stability to the rack system. X-bracing is utilized to increase the lateral stability of the taller (15' to 20') uprights. Brace lengths are measured from centerline of upright to centerline of the next upright and are sold in sets rather than individual pieces. The load must be supported by enough arms to prevent load deflection. Deflection may cause damage to the load being stored as well as the arms. To detect deflection, place the load over two wooden blocks (to represent cantilever arms) If deflection is not present it is acceptable to use a two arm system as long as this does not create an overload condition. If the load shows deflection use three blocks or four blocks. ( see pictures) Standard brace color is gray. (1966,1967, 1979)
