    Racking identification guide

    How to Identify Pallet Racking

    Manufacturer labels are useful, but the upright profile and beam connector usually provide the strongest visual evidence. Never assume two systems are compatible because their colours look alike.

    Photographs that help

    Photograph the full bay straight-on

    Capture the upright perforation close-up

    Photograph the beam connector and locking pin

    Record beam length, frame depth and frame height

    Use the free identifier

    Upload up to ten photographs. The result separates visible evidence from assumptions and asks for more information when confidence is low.

    Start photo check

    Measure before ordering

    Record frame height and depth, beam clear length, upright profile width and beam levels. A capacity label can be useful evidence, but the identifier will not calculate or certify a safe load from a photograph.

    Common questions

    Can colour identify pallet racking?

    No. Colours are reused, changed and repainted. Upright perforations, connector geometry, labels and measurements are more useful evidence.

    Can I mix components from two brands?

    Do not assume components are compatible. A competent supplier or engineer should verify the exact system and component combination before use.

    What happens if the photographs are unclear?

    The identifier returns a low-confidence result and asks for exact additional views instead of inventing a manufacturer or system.
