[0008]

According to the present invention, the following technical measures have been taken in order to achieve the above object. That is, in the drive-in rack according to the present invention, the center pillars and the rear pillars are connected to each other by a support member made of a beam disposed at the upper end of these pillars and extending in the left-right direction. A pair of left and right support members each formed of a short rod-shaped arm is projected from an upper end of the front column, and a front end is located near the center column and a rear end is located between the support members formed of the beams. While being connected in a cross-shaped manner by a brace located near the rear column, the space between the pair of left and right support members made up of the beam and the arm is located at the front end of the support member made up of the arm. It is characterized in that the rear end is connected in a cross-shaped manner by a brace located at a position shifted from the center column in the left-right direction by the length of the support member formed by the arm.

In this case, the shelf provided in the front rack portion is formed on a pair of left and right support members (arms) divided into right and left sides by forming a doorway of a forklift at the center. That is, the front rack portion is very similar to the configuration of the conventional drive-in rack, but the front rack portion itself does not have an extra reinforcing structure such as connecting the columns in the left-right direction at least at the innermost portion. It is not necessary.

[0010] This is because, in the rear rack portion connected to the rear side of the front rack portion, the shelf is formed on a pair of front and rear support members (beams) that are installed with the longitudinal direction directed to the left and right. Because there is. That is, the rear rack portion has a so-called pallet rack configuration. Therefore, the support member (beam) of the rear rack portion is connected to the front rack portion in the left-right direction.
In other words, it also has a reinforcing effect.

From the above, in the drive-in rack according to the present invention, it is not necessary to extend each column upward, and it is not necessary to provide a rear connection or a brace at the innermost part of the rear rack part itself. Each of the support members of the front rack portion and the back rack portion is held by left and right columns arranged in the front-rear direction, and the same side portions of the columns in these support members are connected in the front-rear direction by the deck. Can be

In the present invention, the support members made of beams are cross-connected by braces whose front ends are located near the central pillar and whose rear ends are located near the rear pillar. The distance between the support member made of the beam and the pair of left and right support members made of the arm is the front end located at the front end of the support member made of the arm, and the rear end is the length of the support member made of the same arm from the central pillar. It is connected in a cross-shaped manner by braces that are positioned only in the left and right directions.

By doing so, the space between the pillars can be further increased.
Since the reinforcement can be made firmly, in the drive-in rack according to the present invention, it is not necessary to extend the column upward, and it is not necessary to provide an upper end joint or a brace at the column upper end. Further, in this case, if the connection between the support member and the brace is made in the vicinity of the connection portion between the support member and the deck, an even stronger reinforcing force can be obtained.
