ABSTRACT
Thirty six drive-in racks representing the global sale of an Australian manufacturer over three years are then analysed using the improved 2D single model introduced in the companion paper under all possible loading scenarios, alternately considering and ignoring the pallet bracing restraints. This paper evaluates the influence of pallet bracing restraints on the ultimate capacity of steel drive-in racks in the down-aisle direction, clarifies the loading scenario(s) governing the design and determines the friction coefficient or the strength of a restraining device required to prevent the pallets from sliding.
