Racks, Storage

BoltHold asphalt anchors have been used to secure industrial storage racks against earthquakes and against accidental bumping by forklifts. As a rule, lighter shelving needs heavier anchors, because the weight of the shelving provide by itself resistance against accidental bumping. For earthquake protection the heavier anchors will likely perform better. Please consult a professional engineer when attempting to meet local safety codes.

Shelving must be stable with and without the merchandize on it.
Shelf vertical posts must have heavy duty mounting plates on the bottom.
The plates distribute the weight over a larger area of the asphalt to prevent sinking.
Anchors must be installed under the mounting plates.
Use SP18 or SP58. The SP10 or SP12 bolts do not have adequate shear capacity.
