Modular Pallet Rack System

A modular rack system comprising upright members and horizontal beam members, each upright member has a generally rectangular profile and a plurality of female connectors, each horizontal beam has an L-shaped grip member on each side, each L-shaped grip member, while attached, wraps around the corner of the upright;

• each grip member has a set of male connectors interconnecting with corresponding female connectors of the upright member, wherein the horizontal beams can extend from the upright in four perpendicular directions, this way the horizontal beam might extend right and left from the upright to engage additional uprights and also might extend forward and backward from the same upright to engage additional uprights, this way the rack system can be flexibly arranged to fit a range of floor plans.

A method of erecting a rack system comprising use of generally rectangular X-shaped uprights and horizontal beams comprising L-shaped grip members, wherein each grip member wraps a corner of the upright, each upright comprising a plurality of connecting female connectors and each grip member comprising a set of male connectors engageable with those female connectors, each horizontal beam connects two uprights and may extend in a normal direction from the upright—right, left, forward or backward.
