[RE-wrenches] Racking System - Identification Help

[Max Balchowsky]

That does look like the early Unirac system, (I don't think they rated it for 140 mph). It wasn't designed to "hit" rafters, that's why there six screws in each base plate….

Hi all,

Anyone know what this racking system is? The permit drawings say Unirac 
with lag screws and Eco-Fasten flashings, which this pretty clearly 
isn't. I'd never seen this before, and I imagine this wind resistance is 
not quite the 140 mph that the installer claims it is. Of the ~250 wood 
screws holding this system down into the roof, I think six of them 
accidentally hit rafters.

Thanks!
Dave
