Beam, & Chipboard Loadings Beam Loads Beam Length mm Beam Load kg Loads given are uniformly distributed in kilograms per pair of beams, and are based on a deflection limit of L/200. Loads (kg) load = Beam load x No. of levels. Beam spacing = Distance from top of one beam to the top of the next or height to the first beam level which ever is the greatest. loads based on a minimum of 2 beam levels in the bay. Single level bays not permitted.

Loading and performance information must be obtained from the Design Office. The advised configuration of shelving MUST NOT be changed without prior agreement. Loadings provided are always assumed to be for STATIC UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED SAFE WORKING loads unless otherwise notified. Under no circumstances should such loads be varied or exceeded. Where shelving products are to be installed or directed to be installed, by the user or agents acting on his behalf, then it is assumed that those persons involved have the necessary skills and knowledge to complete the assembly in a safe manner. Where any doubt exists, then the user is recommended to make use of the technical advisory service offered by the company. It is not possible, because of the many dimensional and loading permutations, to provide totally comprehensive guidance in this document for the installation and safe use of shelving products in each and every situation.
