Bracing
Bracing
STALWART Bracing Systems are critical structural components that ensure rack stability, load transfer, and seismic resistance. Bracing connects uprights within a frame, preventing sway and increasing the overall structural integrity of the racking system.
Category: Rack Components
Types of Bracing
1.0 STALWART ALIGNSTRUT
- Connects upright columns horizontally
- Maintains frame width and alignment
- Transfers load evenly across uprights
2.0 STALWART CROSSLINK
- Installed diagonally between uprights
- Provides resistance against lateral forces
- Essential for tall and high-load racking systems
Bracing Profiles Available

Technical Role in Rack Performance
- Controls frame deflection
- Improves vertical load transfer
- Enhances rack life and safety
- Mandatory for tall & high-bay racks
Bracing Configuration
- Frame height based spacing
- Load-dependent bracing pattern
- Designed as per rack height, depth, and load class
- Final bracing layout is engineered during rack design.
