Longspan Metal Shelving Working Load Limit Sign

Longspan Metal Shelving Working Load Limit Sign for use on Steelspan Longspan Metal Shelving ONLY.

There are two critical rated capacities related to racking and they should never be exceeded. They are:

• maximum unit load
• Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) per shelf

Total weight of unit loads stored on an arm must not exceed the rated capacity of that shelf.

This information should be provided to people who use the shelving. One of the most effective means of providing this information is to mark it clearly in a visible location on the shelving.

The safe load sign must include the following:

• supplier
• client
• installer
• date installed
• design number
• total bay load
• maximum UDL per shelf level
• beam span
• maximum distance from the floor to the height of the first shelf and maximum distance between adjacent shelves

There should always be some way of determining the weight of each load being placed into the shelving.

Installers must consult with Steelspan Storage Systems with respect to the design of the racking and correct assembly, installation, usage and signage.
