Color selected from manufacturer's standard pallet of colors.

All horizontal load beams are to either receive solid coats of paint on every surface and then oven baked or galvanize dipped to support corrosion resistance.

Bolted frames are either electro-statically immersed in epoxy paint or galvanized to ensure that the coating saturates every surface and provides enhanced corrosion resistance in humid climates and chemical storage environments.

2.2 LIFT AND TILT SCISSOR TABLE

1. Hydraulic

2. Capable of lift and tilt separately/simultaneouly

3. 48 inch by 48 inch platform

2.5 COLUMN AND AISLE GUARDS

All rack columns, column guards, and end of aisle guards will be anchored down to the concrete as described by the manufacturer's installation specifications. Unless otherwise specified by the rack system manufacturer, install 1/2 inch diameter wedge anchor bolts that are a minimum of 2-1/2 inches below the concrete surface. Bolts will be grade 5 or better.

Depending on the column guard design selected, additional anchors may be required to ensure each manufactured hole is utilized. Anchors with nuts shall have 360-degree contact with the base material. Oversized holes will not be required pending screw anchor type selected for installation.

Fasteners shall be manufactured from carbon steel, and are heat-treated.

Anchors are not to be reused after initial installation. An example of an acceptable screw anchor is Simpson's Strong-Bolt wedge anchors for cracked and uncracked concrete (provided installation follows Simpson's installation instructions) or equal. If inadequate anchor bolt binding

SECTION 10 56 29.16 Page 6 occurs the contractor will be required to fill the hole with an epoxy filler designed for threaded applications to ensure a solid contact with the concrete. Submit through the solicitation process, type of anchor to be used.

The number of anchor bolts will be determined by the number of manufactured holes in the selected aisle/column guard; an anchor bolt will be installed in each manufactured hole. Submit anchor samples of the type that will be used.

2.5.1 Column Guards

The racking system shall include sets of individual column protective devices that have a corrosion resistant coating applied to each to mitigate the environmental conditions (heat, humidity, and chemicals).

Provide 24 inch tall column guards that attach only to the floor, specifically designed to fit with the seismic compliant columns and base plates. Ensure that all vertical columns exposed to the aisles have a column protector installed and utilize all the manufacturer's bolt holes utilized to fasten to the concrete.

Each vertical column will have a protective device (i.e. corner or column guard); these are in addition to columns with end of aisles guards.

Install all column guards to the concrete floor using the manufacture's recommended bolts. Additional information on anchor bolts are listed in Part 3 EXECUTION below.

2.5.2 End of Aisle Guards

Provide a double-wide heavy-duty guard at the end of each row. Guards will be a minimum of six inches tall, extend the width of the columns, and fasten to the concrete floor. Each end of aisle guard shall be installed three to six inches from the racks. The Site Manager will have final approval for placement.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION

Locations scheduled to receive racking shall be inspected for compliance with manufacturer's requirements. Dimensions shall be verified in accordance with approved shop drawings prior to starting the work.

Conditions which may adversely affect the racking and guard installations shall be corrected before installing.

3.2 INSTALLATION

Unpack components and assemble units in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Install assembled units in areas indicated on manufacturer's approved shop drawings and schedule. Brace, secure and anchor units in place as indicated on shop drawings. Secure pallet racking to building structure as detailed on shop drawings.

All rack columns, column guards and end of aisle guards will be anchored down to the concrete as described by the manufacturer's installation specifications. Anticipate installing 1/2 inch diameter wedge anchor bolts (unless otherwise specified by the rack system/guard manufacturer) that are

SECTION 10 56 29.16 Page 7 a minimum of 2-1/2 inches below the concrete surface. Bolts will be grade 5 or better. Anchors with nuts shall have 360-degree contact with the base material. Oversized holes will not be required pending screw anchor type selected for installation. Fasteners shall be manufactured from carbon steel, and are heat-treated. Anchors are not to be reused after initial installation.

If inadequate anchor bolt binding occurs the contractor will be required to fill the hole with an epoxy filler designed for threaded applications to ensure a solid contact with the concrete.

Anticipate purchasing manufactured shims to ensure level installation in accordance with RMI standards as listed below. Shims may be used under the base plate to maintain plumb and/or level of the storage rack system. The shims shall be made of a material that meets or exceeds the design bearing strength (LRFD, Load and Resistance Factor Design) or allowable bearing strength (ASD, Allowable Strength Design) of the floor. The shim size and location under the base plate shall be equal to or greater than the required base plate size and location.

In no case shall the total thickness of a shim stack under a base plate exceed six times the diameter of the largest anchor bolt used in that base. Shims stacks having a total thickness greater than two and less than or equal to six times the anchor bolt diameter under bases with only one anchor bolt shall be interlocked or welded together in a fashion that is capable of transferring all the shear forces at the base. Shims stacks having a total thickness of less than or equal to two times the anchor bolt diameter need not be interlocked or welded together. Bending in the anchor associated with shims or grout under the base plate shall be taken into account in the design of anchor bolts.

All work will be accomplished in accordance with MHI MH16.1.

3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

The manufacturer's technical representative shall visit the site as necessary during installation of racking. Inspections shall be conducted in the presence of the Contracting Officer. An inspection report shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within two working days. The inspection report shall note compliance with manufacturer's instructions and requirements, work quality, deficiencies, and recommended corrective actions.

3.4 POST-INSTALLATION MEMORANDUM

The structural integrity of the racks in accordance with the local seismic zone requirements is critical to the satisfactory installation of the system. This includes, but is not limited to, racks, anchor plates and shims, anchor bolt size, grade, and depths in accordance with seismic zone requirements. Provide a Post-installation Memorandum, sealed and signed by the design engineer, that clearly describes the work performed and attests that this racking project complies with and/or exceeds all applicable local, UFC, ASTM, ASME, AISC, and IBC codes and standards. Perform any and all corrections to the rack system, particularly if determined seismically insufficient.

3.5 RACK IDENTIFICATION MARKING

Each individual vertical column and horizontal load beams must be

SECTION 10 56 29.16 Page 8 permanently marked, preferably stamped, a welded, bolted, or riveted metal data plate or an industrial strength sticker is also acceptable. The key information to be marked on each component is the manufacture's brand name, replacement part number recognized by the manufacturer, and horizontal beam's load capacity. This identification will support ease in component replacement (vs. entire rack replacement). An acceptable sticker will be a 2 inch by 4 inch label using two permanent enamel based inks (white and black) subsurface printed on 10 mil industrial Lexan, backed with permanent adhesive.

3.6 ADJUSTING, TOUCH-UP, AND CLEANING

Touch-up damaged paint surfaces with matching paint, on completion of installation. Promptly remove debris, surplus materials and tools as work progresses. Repair damage caused by work of this Section to existing structures and finishes.
