Quick answers

Can I identify racking by its colour?

Colour is a useful clue, but finishes change and racking may have been repainted. Match the upright openings, connector and manufacturer markings together.

Does a similar-looking beam mean it is compatible?

No. Similar-looking components can belong to different series or generations. Ask our team to confirm the exact system and component compatibility before ordering or installing.

Can you help if the brand is unknown?

Yes. Use the photo guide and contact our team. We can help check a possible match and discuss selling, supplying or installing your racking.
