I have the older style of Speed Rack brand warehouse rack in my barn. Its
painted yellow. All this generation has this color from what I've seen.
About 1985 this design was obsoleted and replaced with the blue speedrack.

Anyway, I need to put a 500 gallon water tank ten feet high. I'm sure the
verticals will hold the 4000 lbs. as they were originally for five pallets
high. But I wonder about the loadbeams. Anyone know? Or, how would you
reinforce?

They should have a load rating stamped on them. Most of the ones I have
seen do.

You have 4,150 lbs. in the water alone. NOT something you want coming down.

I would probably drop the company a note or call them and see what they
say. http://www.speedrack.net/
