Practical Notes
When specifying these racks, clearly indicate the required uniformly distributed load (UDL) capacity per shelf so the manufacturer uses the correct sheet thickness.
Ensure uprights are provided with appropriate base plates or shoes to prevent floor damage and properly distribute point loads.
Verify the quality of the anti-corrosive treatment and painting finish, especially if the racks will be placed in humid or industrial environments.
