Premier Aluminum Racks – We’ve Got Your Back!
Premier Built Aluminum Platform Racks - Strong but Lighter
than Traditional Steel Platform Racks
When you try to lift
a steel rack off or replace it on your platform, you may be inducing unnecessary
strain into your back muscles and risking serious back injury. Premier Racks
are built with heavy gauge extruded aluminum slats. The posts are thick aluminum
channel, this makes for a significantly lighter rack section and makes it much
easier to move the sections when necessary. In fact, the typical Premier
section weighs 34% less than a steel rack section. That’s 27 pounds or 12
pounds lighter than a steel section.
Read what OSHA says about lifting heavy objects here:
We also offer the “Swing Out” version of the front most rack
on each side. This allows you to lift the aluminum rack just a bit, enough
distance to disengage the vertical posts from the side pockets and swing it out
and forward. This leaves you with access to load and unload large, heavy objects
from the side and up close to the cab where it rides well and can be secured
against the headboard.
