Key Purposes of Wall Ties

• Prevent Tipping and Swaying – Essential for tall or single-row racks, especially those more than six times their depth, minimizing hazards from forklifts, heavy loads, or seismic activity.
• Enhance System Stability – Creates a rigid connection to a fixed structure, improving overall rack strength and alignment.
• Meet Safety and Code Requirements – Often required by local fire and safety regulations for tall racking systems.
• Maintain Flue Space and Clearance – Proper wall tie placement ensures adequate space for fire sprinkler systems and compliance with fire codes.

Installation and Considerations

• Structural Integrity – Always verify that the wall is capable of supporting the loaded rack. Wall ties should not be used as a substitute for proper floor anchoring. A structural engineer’s approval is recommended.
• Recommended Placement – For optimal safety and performance, use at least two wall ties per upright frame along the wall.

Designed for strength, durability, and ease of installation, Ridg-U-Rak wall ties provide peace of mind that your racking system remains aligned, stable, and compliant with safety regulations.
