How is the price of heavy-duty racking calculated?
Racks are sold per bay. One row = 1 starter bay + n add-on bays (a 10-bay row = 1 starter + 9 add-ons). Price varies with height, number of levels, load, decking and quantity; the table above lists 6 configurations already produced so you can estimate quickly. Example, a 10-bay row of 4-level heavy-duty racking with plywood decks: 1 × VND 5,720,000 + 9 × VND 5,010,000 = VND 50,810,000 excl. VAT, installation included.
For PRIMEAG to draw the layout and count the bays, send 5 things via Zalo or email: (1) warehouse plan – dimensions, column positions, doors; (2) clear height under the ceiling; (3) pallet size and weight; (4) forklift type and maximum lift height; (5) desired aisle width.
Reading the load notice correctly
A load notice carries two figures: load per beam level and bay load (all levels in one bay). Goods must satisfy both. Example: a 4-level bay at 1,000 kg per level has a bay load of 4,000 kg. PRIMEAG fits a load notice on every row at handover.
Mandatory safety where forklifts operate
- Upright protectors on every end-of-row upright and uprights next to forklift aisles; guard rails at main aisles.
- Anchor bolts in every base plate into the concrete floor; the floor must be level and load-bearing.
- Pallet back-stops where racks stand against walls or pedestrian aisles.
- Never let pallets overhang the beams; never exceed the load on the notice.
- Inspect bent or dented uprights after any impact; replace immediately, never prop them up.
