Colby RACKMAN Design & Analysis
A key project over the past couple of years has been the development of advanced rack design software - Colby RACKMAN. RACKMAN utilises finite element modelling and second order analysis to rapidly develop and verify Colby rack designs, which are fully compliant with AS4084-1993 and/or FEM 10.2.02.
Developed by Dematic engineers, RACKMAN is a valuable tool that allows all Colby rack designs to be analysed by carrying out advanced structural calculations to ensure compliance with design standards.
A certificate can be generated and printed for the customer’s records, certifying the design of the rack as installed.
Please note the following points for all installations of Colby Pallet Racking:
- ColbyRACK should be regularly inspected for damage and repaired accordingly
- Do NOT splice frames without referring to Colby Central first as splicing can affect rack integrity
- Do NOT add, change or remove beam levels without referring Colby Central first as changes to beam levels can alter frame capacities and overall rack integrity
- Do NOT exceed the safe loading limit of each bay and level as detailed on Colby Load Signs
