Speedlock®

Tested tough, designed smart, and engineered to exceed global standards.

Dexion Speedlock® offers a leap forward in racking design where each component under the range has been designed and independently tested to comply with international racking standards.

Over 1,000 tests conducted on Dexion’s racking components at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), Australia ensures that Dexion components perform to their stated loads, providing assurance in maximum safety, efficiency, and price competitiveness to customers.

These include compliance to Australian Standard AS4084:2023, European Standard 15512:2020 and FEM 10.2.02 – 2001 allowing greater design versatility and extreme robustness at each bearing point.

Tested For Durability and Reliability

Tests conducted by UTS were to determine the material properties of Dexion’s racking components and the results were evaluated to determine the structural performance of the components covering:

Dexion 808 boasts a groundbreaking 60 metres of stackable racking, setting a global benchmark in warehouse innovation. Engineered with precision for high-bay warehouses, shuttle systems, and mezzanine floors, our future-focused rack structure redefines efficiency and versatility.

Independently tested by leading structural engineers from top Australian universities, Dexion’s 808 rack structure ensures unparalleled safety and structural integrity. Our commitment to excellence is further reinforced with full product engineering certification and meticulous traceability, guaranteeing the safety of every installation.

The 808 is tailored for enhanced safety in high seismic zones and meticulously designed to meet stringent local design criteria. These include wind and rain loads, crane forces, seismic considerations, soil types, and robustness factors, offering unmatched reliability in diverse applications.

Dexion 808 comes in a wide selection of profile ranges and gauges to suit every need, elevating the standards of stackable racking to unprecedented heights.

Tensile test

Determines the strength of the steel ensuring the accuracy of calculations.

Upright stub column

Stub column tests are used to help determine the ultimate strength of the uprights.

Upright splice

Determines the stiffness and strength of splices between upright sections.

Frame shear stiffness

Determines transverse shear stiffness per unit length of upright frame to assess the stability and shear strength of the frame.

Beam and connectors

Bending: Measures the bending strength of a beam and beam rotation about its longitudinal axis.

Shear: Measures the shear strength of the connector and the connector lock.

Looseness: Obtains a value of the looseness of the connection for use in the design calculation.

Safety locks

Safety locks are fitted as standard and designed spring loaded to lock automatically when the connector clicks into place. Safety locks prevent the beam from accidently being dislodged.

Upright stub column

Stub column tests are used to help determine the ultimate strength of the uprights.

Upright stub column

Stub column tests are used to help determine the ultimate strength of the uprights.

Baseplate

Measures the moment-rotation characteristics of the connection between the upright and the floor across a range of axial loads up to the maximum design strength of the upright.

The system features a fully-bolted design, offering robustness and stability for optimal performance. Profiles can be fabricated with holes punched at a 50mm pitch or positioned as per specific requirements, ensuring versatility and adaptability to various configurations.
This flexibility extends to the design phase, where components can be seamlessly integrated into various applications ensuring efficient utilisation of space and streamlined operations to suit diverse warehouse requirements. These include:

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) racking & high bay racking ASRS configurations must adhere to strict structural standards, accommodating the weight and dimensions of stored goods while facilitating smooth movement within the system. Considerations such as aisle width, height restrictions, and load capacities play a crucial role in designing ASRS racking layouts to ensure safety and efficiency.

Designed to reach impressive heights, high bay racking offer unparalleled storage density, making them ideal for warehouses with limited floor space. They are often integrated with ASRS systems to further enhance efficiency and streamline material handling processes as they increase storage capacity and facilitate seamless operations.
Rack Clad systems
A rack clad system seamlessly integrates structural racking with the building's envelope, offering a dual-purpose solution for storage and structural support. By utilising the racking as a load-bearing structure, rack clad systems optimise floor space while providing structural stability to the building.

This innovative design not only maximises storage capacity with its “inside-out” approach, but also reduces the need for additional support structures, thereby minimising construction costs and simplifying installation.
Mezzanine Floors
Mezzanine Floors offer a unique blend of cost-effectiveness and space optimization, surpassing the limitations of traditional structures. Their inherent flexibility allows for seamless transportation and relocation of existing floors, ensuring adaptability to evolving operational needs.

In regions susceptible to seismic activity, the Dexion 808 can be engineered to provide heightened assurance and safety for customers. This encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of local critical design criteria, including wind and rain loads, crane forces, soil types, and robustness factors. By meeting these stringent standards, we guarantee the structural integrity and resilience of our solutions, even in the face of adverse environmental conditions.
Our commitment to versatility shines through in the extensive range of profile options and gauges, catering to a diverse array of applications and ensuring optimal performance across various industrial settings.

Dexion has been leading design and performance in racking systems for over 85 years and we stand by our products with the Dexion Lifetime Product Warranty.
