The APR12 drive-in industrial racking is the ideal solution for high density storage; it consists of aisles for depositing items with depth adjustable according to requirements. Each aisle permits storage of uniform items according to the LIFO (last in - first out) system. Together with the mobile racking, it is the ideal solution for equipping cold rooms. The drive-in industrial racking is part of the Armes APR12 range of industrial racking. APR12 stands for "Armes Pallet Rack" with 12 folds (the upright features 12 roll forming folds). Within the APR12 range, Armes has developed various types of racking for light, medium and heavy loads. They all have the same upright design, with different dimensions and thicknesses in order to offer the most appropriate solution each time. The upright profile is provided with a central stiffening rib. The beam brackets are provided at the front with lugs which fit into the upright holes and, via their U-shaped profile which envelops the upright, fitting into the central rib, guarantee perfect hooking. The pallet racking guides, galvanised profiles that support and guide the pallets, are bolted on the shelves . The stability of the structure is further guaranteed by horizontal and vertical bracing elements. This solution allows for full utilisation of the racking without losing corridors by occupying them with stabilisation structures. The wide range of accessories available permits customisation of the racking to suit all sorts of different needs. Armes designs and produces racking for installation in seismic areas, or for use in cold rooms, or for outdoor applications, in addition to self-supporting warehouses, automatic storage systems and all other types of storage systems.

CALCULATION
The load capacities of the various parts of the structure take into account the weight of the structure itself and the effective load and are based on the hypothesis of a uniformly distributed load (u.d.l.). Calculation of the load capacity of the frames takes account of the relative working conditions, considering the number, position and height of the load levels, the presence or absence of vertical bracing and the ground anchorage characteristics. These capacities are calculated with the aid of an automatic code developed expressly for the evaluation of drive-in racking. The relevant S.I.C.S. software ("Sistema Integrato Calcolo Scaffali" – integrated shelving calculation system) was developed by the industrial shelving section of A.C.A.I. (Associazione fra i Costruttori in Acciao Italiani - Italian Steel Constructors Association). Deflections of the beams are within 1/200 of the span.

The tests carried out and the entire set of algorithms used for the procedure comply with the most authoritative framework of standards and recommendations applicable in Italy and on a European level, including:
• A.C.A.I. CISI Technical Norm for the heavy pallet racks type of 28/06/2002;
• UNI ENV 1993-1-1:1994 and UNI ENV 1993-1-3: 2000 (Eurocode 3 – Steel structures design);
• CNR-UNI 10011:1997 (Steel constructions: instructions for the calculation, the execution, the test and the maintenance);
• CNR 10022:1998 (Cold profiles: instructions for the use in the constructions);
• D.M. 09/01/1996 (Technical Norms for the calculation, the execution and the test of the normal, pre-compressed concrete structures and for the metal structures);
• F.E.M. (Fédération Européenne de la Manutention) recommendations 10-2-02. Application of the automatic code was supported by a prior series of experimental tests performed at university laboratories and designed to assess the principle geometric and physical parameters.
