Stakapal Boxed Column vs. I-Section Column

Choosing the right Column design for your racking is essential for businesses dealing with long, heavy materials. While I-Section columns have their place in industrial settings, Stakapal’s Boxed-Column offers a far more versatile and adaptable solution, making it the superior choice as a storage solution for a wide range of industries. Let’s explore why Stakapal’s box column design stands out when compared to the general I-Section.

Stakapal Cantilever Racking: Built for Flexibility and Longevity

Stakapal has built a strong reputation for providing highly adaptable, customisable and durable storage solutions. Whether you are storing lightweight goods or heavy materials, Stakapal’s system can be designed to meet your specific needs—both now and in the future.

Stakapal’s Box Column Outperforms I-Section & Here is How:

Highly Customisable for Diverse Applications

Stakapal’s system is designed to evolve with your business. Its modular build allows for quick and easy adjustments to arm height, and pack spacing, offering unmatched flexibility. As storage needs change, Stakapal’s racks can be easily reconfigured, making them ideal for businesses that anticipate growth or fluctuating storage requirements

On the other hand, I-Section columns are less flexible resulting in time being consumed if adjustments are required and therefore lack this level of customisation.

Superior Durability with Outdoor Solutions

In addition to the various colour finishes offered, Stakapal offers galvanised steel finishes, making their builds suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. This weather-resistant feature ensures that the racking system withstands environmental factors like rain or corrosion, extending the lifespan of the structure.

Ease of Use and Adjustability

One of the standout features of Stakapal’s system is how easy and safe it is to adjust the arms utilising the wedge effect pin design. Businesses benefit from being able to quickly adapt the system to store a variety of materials. I-Section systems are not, ideally, designed for frequent adjustments, which can be a drawback in dynamic storage environments.

Enhanced Safety and Load Management

Stakapal’s systems can also come with additional built-in safety features like arm-end stops and heavy load-bearing reinforcements that can be tailored to meet specific safety standards.

I-Section column: What are the risks?

An I-Section column though it can be built to the same heights is more likely to deflect into aisles decreasing operational clearance the higher the structure goes and the greater the weight added. This presents increased risk to your stock and potential danger to your employees.

Compiling an Arm to an I-Section column consists of a longer process whereby the nut and bolt have to be unfastened in order to dislocate the arm and adjust its position. This results in less flexibility and time consumption.

Why Stakapal is the Better Choice

The ability to customise the system seamlessly, add weather-resistant finishes, and adjust configurations as needed make Stakapal the ideal choice for businesses that require more than just strength from their storage system.

The Choice… It’s Simple

In the comparison between Stakapal’s System and the I-Section System, the clear winner is Stakapal. Its high level of customisation, combined with durability and easy adjustability, makes it the best long-term investment for businesses that need a versatile, future-proof storage solution.
