About this file
This document is an Appendix A for a pallet rack installation project at Grissom Air Reserve Base (ARB) in Indiana, specifically for Building 209. The appendix establishes detailed technical requirements for the pallet rack system, including specifications for uprights, seismic plates, shelf beams, row spacers, leveling shims, decking, anchoring, assembly, row markers, and color. Key requirements include using an R-Mark® certified manufacturer, ensuring the rack can support specified loads without deformation, using teardrop compatible connectors, and meeting precise installation standards such as being level within 1/8 inch over 10 feet and plumb within 1/2 inch over 10 feet.
The document also outlines quality assurance provisions, including two specific tests to be performed during system checkout and quality conformance: a maximum load test to check for deformation and a safety lock test to verify shelf-to-column connections. The pallet rack must be installed according to manufacturer instructions for the geographic location, with row spacers placed within 24 inches of the top and bottom, and row identification card holders mounted between 7 and 10 feet from the floor. The project is dated 16 May 2025 and is prepared by personnel from AFLCMC/EZPAE (Air Force Life Cycle Management Center).

1. GENERAL SCOPE
This appendix establishes the minimum performance, design, fabrication, installation, and test requirements for pallet rack at Grissom ARB, Building 209. The work shall be completed in accordance with this appendix, the Cover Purchase Description (PD), and Air Force (AF) Drawing VGR301-01. This appendix covers all equipment, materials, and labor necessary to complete installation of the system.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
Applicable documents shall be in accordance with Section 2 of the Cover PD as well as RMI/ANSI MH16.1 Industrial Steel Storage Racks and RMI/ANSI MH26.2 Design and Testing of Welded Wire Rack Decking.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The manufacturer of the pallet rack and decking shall be R-Mark® certified.
3.2. CHARACTERISTICS
Pallet rack shall conform to the following requirements.
3.2.1. CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS
Pallet rack shall be located and configured as shown on AF Drawings VGR301-01.
3.2.2. STRUCTURE AND INSTALLATION
• UPRIGHTS
o Capacity as shown on AF drawings VGR301-01.
o Capable of supporting fully loaded bays without permanent deformation.
o Tear drop openings spaced on 2-inch increments for shelf beams.
• SEISMIC PLATES
o Located at bottom of each column, able to sufficiently disperse load.
o Minimum of 2 punched holes for applicable anchor bolts
• SHELF BEAMS
o Capacity as shown on AF Drawings VGR301-01 o Teardrop compatible connectors.
o Attached shelf beam-to-column safety lock.
o Step type.
Grissom ARB, IN - Appendix A - Page 2 of 3
• ROW SPACERS
o 6-inch flue space as shown AF Drawing VGR301-01.
o Top and bottom row spacers shall be installed within 24 inches of the top and bottom respectively.
• LEVELING SHIMS
o Length and width equal to bearing plate.
o No more than 5 shims used at any one location.
o No slotted or welded shims.
• DECKING
o R-Mark® compliant.
o Not exhibit permanent deformation and elastic deformation shall not exceed .56 percent of the unsupported span. The following formula shall be used to determine the deflection amount:
Deflection = [(M1 - M2) / shelf beam length ] * 100 o Capable of supporting rack capacity.
o Galvanized.
o External waterfall to interface with step beam.
o Support beams permanently attached to decking.
o Grid size as shown on AF Drawings VGR301-01
• ANCHORING
o Rigid freestanding structure.
o Installed as per manufacturers instructions for the geographic location.
• ASSEMBLY
o Shall be straight and square.
o Horizontal members level to within 1/8 inch over 10 feet.
o Vertical members plumb to within 1/2 inch over 10 feet.
• ROW MARKERS
o Two card holders installed on the end of each rack section for row identification.
o Card holders capable of holding and shielding 8.5 inch by 11 inch printed labels from debris.
o Securely mounted between 7 feet and 10 feet from the floor.
• COLOR
o Shall be as specified by COTR

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1. INSPECTION
The pallet rack shall be inspected to verify that it meets all the requirements of sections 1, 2, and 3 of this appendix and the Cover PD. These inspections shall be completed as part of the system checkout test and again as a part of the quality conformance test.
4.2. TESTS
The following tests shall be performed on the system as part of the system checkout test and again as a part of the quality conformance test.
No. Description Result
1. Maximum loads shall be placed randomly in the rack system.
After not less than four hours, the test loads shall be removed and the rack examined for signs of deformation. If any component of the system exhibits plastic or elastic deformation outside of the approved parameters, the system fails the test.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
2. The shelf-to-column safety lock shall be tested at a minimum of ten random locations. Personnel shall attempt to separate empty shelf beams from the column without disabling the shelf-to-beam safety lock. If a shelf separates from a column then the system fails the test.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
