Weha Buffalo Bundle Slab Storage Rack 10 foot long with 16-72" Safety Poles. 6 Point Post Touch Locking System
Weha Buffalo Rack with 60 Inch Poles
Weha also offers another version of the Buffalo Rack, Bison, and Hippo Racks.
Weha Buffalo Slab Bundle Storage Racks are the latest technology in vertical stone storage. The Weha Buffalo Slab Racks are rated for 11,500 lbs. per set of poles.
Why use the 72" posts instead of the standard 60" posts? There are slabs, particularly quartz slabs, that are coming in 80" tall now. When storing this taller bundle, the 72" posts will create a better leverage for the tall slabs.
Weha Buffalo Bundle Slab Storage rack design has created a 6 point post touch locking system. While other slab rack bases touch the pole in 1 or 2 places, the Weha Buffalo Slab Rack base creates 6 different pressure points on the post. This design increases the metal-to-metal contact from a standard 4 1/2" to over 9 1/2", doubling the surface contact.
This world patented design offers safest and strongest way of storing stone slabs, including bundles of granite, marble, engineered stone, quartz, quartzite and all natural stone.
Weha special patent multi locking post to base design offers the most surface contact between base and post than any other slab rack system on the market. This design increases the structural strength by 57%. This translates into a greater weight capacity, with full confidence and worry-free storing of full bundles of granite and marble in both 2cm and 3cm stone.
Each Buffalo Slab Storage base has 14 receivers spaced at 8 1/2" on center. 6" from hole to hole.
Included at each end of the bases are anchor holes for securing the Buffalo bundle racks to the floor when required.
The Weha Poles are 2 3/8" x 2 3/8" x 72" long fully hot dipped galvanized.
Each pole comes with the Weha Signature Safety Angle Bracket. This angle bracket faces the stone and offers a fail proof way to set the proper angle for the stone to ensure the safest and least amount of weight transfer to the poles.
Why Galvanization is Better than Painted A Frames:
1. Most economical: Galvanized steel is often the least expensive initial choice. As other labor-intensive coatings have risen in rates, galvanizing has maintained a consistent price-point. Moreover, it lasts longer and requires less maintenance, making it the most cost effective, long-term option.
2. Maintenance-free: Galvanizing provides maintenance-free corrosion protection, unlike other protective coatings. This mitigates long-term costs, hassles and disruptions to production.
3. Longest lifespan: Galvanized coatings on typical structural members have a life expectancy in excess of 100 years.
4. Most durable: A galvanized coating has a unique metallurgical structure, providing outstanding resistance to damage during transport, erection and service.
5. Most reliable performance: Galvanizing is carried out to ASTM A123 and standard, minimum coating thicknesses are applied. Coating life and performance are reliable and predictable as its performance is based on the known corrosion rate of zinc. Galvanized steel provides a thick, complete and easily inspected coating.
6. Most protection: Galvanizing protects every part of a structure, including recesses, sharp corners and inaccessible areas. Galvanized coatings also provide cathodic or sacrificial protection to small areas of steel that are exposed due to damage. Unlike other coating options, small, damaged areas are automatically protected and don't require touch-ups due to zinc's sacrificial nature.
7. Environmental Sustainability: Zinc, like steel, is a natural substance that is recyclable. The Buffalo Poles come with special Lock Notches that securely lock into the base, adding additional structural strength to the poles and weight capacity.
Each post comes with white rubber caps for safe and scratch proof storage.
