Advanced high strength steels make racking systems more competitive and safer Modern life would be almost impossible without the large-scale warehouse and distribution centres which provide us with everything from food to spare parts. Increasingly automated, these centres require robust racking systems which can withstand daily knocks and bumps from packages, forklifts, and robotic systems in order to keep us supplied with our daily necessities well into the future. Racking systems have traditionally been made with standard structural steel grades. However, advanced high strength steel grades from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products are helping distribution centre owners to develop lightweight, robust and durable racking systems with improved resistance to the impacts which inevitably occur during daily use. The advantages of Amstrong® and Amstrong® Ultra Extended durability High strength low alloy (HSLA) grades such as Amstrong® (AHSS) and Amstrong® Ultra (UHSS) are already being utilised to create low maintenance racking systems which are very cost effective over their entire lifetime. When treated with a high quality metallic coating such as Magnelis® from ArcelorMittal, the life of the racking system is extended even further.
