Parameters of the system
The EN76 product has been designed to operate within the following standard parameters.
Consultation should be sort if considering applications outside of this range.
Type of pallet: wood, steel, and plastic pallets are acceptable, but must be in good condition without
broken bearers, blocks etc.
Loads: loads should be stable and self-supporting, with the weight uniformly distributed about the
center, i.e. not eccentric. Eccentric loads where the weight distribution is not 50%/50% between front
and back should be designed to the higher ratio throughout.
Warehouse Floor: should generally be of a solid CONCRETE construction designed to accept the
point loads imposed by the rack legs. Installations on floors such as bitumen and tarmac, which by
nature are flexible, need to be specifically designed to suit the individual floor.
Dry Conditions: components and load data are based on dry internal warehouse applications.
Temperature Range: -25°C to +35°C. Although temperatures within 5°C either side of zero, and
those where moisture is likely to be present should be given a protective finish, i.e. galvanizing.
