Innovative Storage Solutions Load capacities The selection of the suitable static components for framework construction depends on the required bay load. The bay load is the sum of all loads per level (= load per flow shelf) in the carton live storage levels + the loads per level in the static storage levels on top (= one or two buffer stock levels). All indicated load capacities per level and bay load capacities assume uniformly distributed loads! Load capacity per level The load capacity per level designates the sum of loads fed into one level (either a flow shelf, a closed deck level or one pair of beams) from the loading side. 1 2 1 Load per level of one buffer stock level 2 Load per level of one flow shelf level in the carton live storage part Bay load capacity Basically, the bay load is the sum of the loads on all the levels of a bay. However, there are some more points which are decisive for an exact calculation such as the bending length (distance between the floor and the first beam), the selected type of upright as well as the bay width (clear width between uprights). Please note: The sum of the loads per level may not exceed the admissible bay load capacitiy. If a racking run has less than 4 bays, the admissible bay load capacity reduces by 15 %.
