Claims
- 1. A storage rack positioned on a support surface and comprising a support beam formed from sheet steel and welded so as to have a tubular profile, having a top edge and a bottom edge, and having a substantially horizontal wall, which defines a load-supporting surface at the top edge of the support beam, the support beam having an outer wall, which extends between the top and bottom edges of the support beam, the outer wall defining an outer, generally arcuate, indicia-receiving surface, which has a peripheral measurement equal at least to approximately one third of a peripheral measurement along the outer wall, between the top and bottom edges, the peripheral measurements being made along the tubular profile.
- 2. The storage rack of claim 1 wherein the indicia-receiving surface extends to the bottom edge so as to enable a person who is standing on the support surface, or who is sitting on a lift truck supported by the support surface, to have a line of sight generally perpendicular to the indicia-receiving surface.
- 3. The storage rack of claim 1 wherein the support beam is formed in one piece and welded so as to have the tubular profile.
