Warehouse Pallet Rack Safety Products Of Frame Portal Tie And Aisle
Connector
In warehouses, storage racks are usually designed standing free
with stable structure. To increase structural stability and safety,
some safety products are commonly required for additional support.

Aisle connector, also called frame portal tie or cross-aisle tie,
though not as popular as rack protectors or row spacers, but still
plays an essential role in some kind of storage solution systems.
Engineered with rectangular tubes or box beams, the horizontal
portal tie can connect two top opposing rack frames together
spanning across the racking aisle space. Providing extra strength
and steadiness to the rack system, frame portal tie is often seen
in the following situation.
1. In the VNA racking system, the upright frames are often very
high with maximum height over 8 meters. For these high bay racks,
frame portal ties are applied to the system connecting adjacent
frames together for better overall performance.
2. In warehouses, pallet racks are usually configurated with
back-to-back layout. However, in some circumstances, a single row
racks can be spotted standing alone which may be not stable enough
with relatively high frames. In this case, aisle connectors are
helpful by joining the single row racks with the back-to-back row
racks creating a steady entirety.
