| Often imitated, never duplicated. Penco Wide
Span is the standard of the industry for shelving designed to
contain high, wide or bulky loads. It bridges the storage gap
between conventional shelving and pallet rack, and is ideal for
a wide range of manually or automatically loaded applications. Penco Wide Span is without question the quickest
and easiest shelving product to assemble. There is a minimum
number parts, and all major parts simply fit or snap into place.
No bracing to add; no hardware required. Penco Wide Span is furnished
in 028 Gray baked on enamel finish. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR FORK
TRUCK LOADING. COMPONENTS UPRIGHT FRAMES: Penco Wide Span Upright Frames
are made from heavy gauge steel, MIG welded into one rigid assembly
containing posts, diagonal and horizontal braces and foot plates.
There is no assembly required. Many sizes are available.
Posts
are punched on the face to provide positive
independent beam placement on 2" vertical centers. The posts
are marked on 12" centers to facilitate placement of shelf
levels. A slot on each side of the post accepts a nib on the
end of each beam, to lock it in place. Frames have a capacity
of 7,500 pounds with a 1.92 safety factor where vertical beam
spacing does not exceed 60".
RIGIDITY BEAMS: Rigidity
beams provide lateral stability for the shelving;
a minimum of two pairs of
beams is required per unit. They are constructed
of 3" high
steel channels with return flanges and a beam end connector welded
to each end. Beams are supplied in even foot lengths from 4'
through 8'. Clearance between upright frames is 1/4" more
than stated beam size. If the beams are being
used as load bearing members, then Beam Braces
are required. All Wide Span Beams have a patented Beam Lock
that secures the beam end to the upright post to retard accidental
beam dislodging. An embossed nib on the beam end engages a slot
on the side on the upright post, which holds the beam end tight
against the post (U. S. Patent No. 4,928,834). Can be disengaged
with a mallet. It is normally not necessary to place rigidity
beams beneath each steel shelf. STEEL SHELVES: Penco
Steel Wide Span Shelves are the ultimate
in providing a smooth, safe surface
for storing a wide variety of items. They are
1-3/4" high
and feature double flanges at front and rear
edges with a full width reinforcing pan welded
to the center of the bottom. Each
shelf requires a pair of Side Shelf Supports,
which must be ordered separately. For 36", 42" and
48" depths, the appropriate number of 18" and 24" deep
shelves are provided, and are installed together
on the Side Shelf Supports to achieve the stated
depth. SIDE SHELF SUPPORTS: Heavy gauge steel
angles which support steel shelves. Each support engages the
upright frame at four points. One or more tangs stamped into
the surface engages the reinforcing pan on the shelf bottom to
prevent accidental dislodging of the shelf. One pair is required
for each steel shelf. RIGID WALL BRACKETS: Used to fasten
upright frames to the wall for sturdy single row applications.
Includes hardware to fasten to frame. RIGID ROW SPACERS: Used to space and
join back-to-back shelving units. Adds rigidity to double row
applications. Includes hardware. PLYWOOD USED IN LIEU OF STEEL SHELVES Special
beams and supports are used when plywood,
pressed wood, particle board, oriented strand
board or other composition type panels are used in place of
steel shelves (these deck materials must
be purchased separately).
Two beam types
are available: Standard Plywood Beams, and
Heavy Duty Plywood Beams. Each is manufactured
an extra 1/2" long
to facilitate placement of full foot lengths
of decking. Each uses a different
type of front to back support for the decking
material. Neither can be used in the same
unit or bay with standard rigidity beams,
because the lengths are different. STANDARD PLYWOOD BEAMS: Designed
to support 1/2" thick deck material flush with top of beam
flange when used with the appropriate number of Plywood Support
Angles (ordered separately) which insert into slots in beam step.
Overall height is 3-1/2". Beam step is 1-1/2" deep
by 5/8" high. A 48" deep deck will fit between beams
without trimming when a 48" deep upright frame is used. HEAVY DUTY PLYWOOD BEAMS: These
beams can support a greater load than Standard
Plywood Beams, and have
a flush front facing the aisle. Requires the
use of Beam Brace/Heavy Duty Plywood Supports
which are ordered separately. A full 48" x
96" deck will fit on a pair of 96-1/2" beams when 50" deep
upright frames are used. Heavy
Duty Plywood Beams can be used in the same
unit or bay with Standard Plywood Beams,
however the depth of the decking material must be trimmed for
the heavy duty beams (i.e.deck must be trimmed
to 2" less
depth than the depth of the upright frame.) STANDARD PLYWOOD SUPPORT ANGLES: Standard
Plywood Support Angles fit into the slots in
the beam step of Standard Plywood Beams.
Order separately from beams. Order two
per pair of 48-1/2" & 60-1/2" beams; three for
72-1/2" & 84-1/2" beams; four for 96-1/2" beams. BEAM BRACE/HEAVY DUTY PLYWOOD SUPPORT: This
item fits easily into the inside of the beam opening and has
two functions: A) When Rigidity Beams are used as load bearing
members, the Beam Braces are used to keep the beams from twisting;
B) When used with Heavy Duty Plywood Beams they are used as Plywood
supports. Use a minimum of two supports per pair of beams. Use
more if required by your load condition. PENCO RESERVES THE RIGHT TO VARY SPECIFICATIONS
