Loads

The term ultimate load originates from structural analysis. It generally stands for the absolute load limit of an undefined static system. In relation to shelving, the following load types are of particular importance:

The Shelf load is the maximum load that can be applied to a shelf or an individual shelf. The prerequisite for this is that the loads are evenly Shelves distributed evenly.

The Bay load is the maximum load capacity of a shelf bay. It depends on the frames and levels used. It should be noted that the sum of the individual shelf loads must not exceed the bay load.
