SECTION A – PRODUCT INTRODUCTION BASIC SYSTEM The Dexion HI280 shelving system is a heavy duty, versatile product available in a wide choice of sizes to enable individual solutions to be tailored to client requirements. It is quick and easy to assemble with the main components simply hooking and locking together to provide a strong rigid structure.
With a full range of accessories, choice of upright styles, and flexibility to increase shelf capacities, the system is ideal for providing storage solutions ranging from simple low rise shelving accessed by pedestrian operatives through to high rise installations requiring access via raised walkways or mechanical order picking equipment. It is possible to enclose individual storage compartments with side and/or back cladding, and to enclose the front with lockable door sets. Small items can be accommodated in a range of bins, drawers and tray sets. It is principally a ‘bolt-free’ system with frame components either being swaged or riveted together, and shelf beam components hooking and locking together. However when the system is extended to provide either taller or heavier loaded structures the addition of such items as bracing or special baseplates will require the use of some nuts and bolts. Notation Where ever possible within this manual we have tried to keep to the following notation when describing the shelving components: ‘L’ Length, such as bay length, beam and shelf lengths etc. ‘W’ Width, such as frame width, shelf width etc. ‘H’ Height, such as frame height etc. ‘T’ Thickness, such as shelf thickness, material thickness etc. Issue: September 2006
Section A – Product Introduction
Page A.1
PARAMETERS OF THE SYSTEM
The Dexion HI280 product has been designed to operate within the following standard parameters. Consult product support if considering applications outside of this range. Hand Loaded
HI280 is a hand loaded shelving system, which is NOT suitable for loading by fork lift truck. (It is not a pallet racking system).
Loads
Loads should be stable and self supporting, with a maximum unit weight within the safe working recommendations of the EU manual handling directive.
Rack Height
Low rise, standard heights of, 1000, 1600, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 3000mm. High rise, heights 3100 to 12,000mm in 100mm increments.
Shelf Pitches
Short span bays, shelf pitches up to 800mm, in 25mm increments. Medium span bays, shelf pitches up to 1500mm, in 25mm increments.
Bay Lengths
Short span bay lengths of 900, 1000, and 1290mm. Medium span bay lengths of 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250 and 2500mm.
Frame Widths
Short span frame widths of 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, and 800mm. Medium span frame widths of 500, 600, 800, and 1000mm.
Warehouse Floor The floor which is the responsibility of the client should generally be of a solid CONCRETE construction designed to accept the point loads imposed by the shelving legs. Installations on other types of floor, such as timber, bitumen and tarmac, should be specifically designed to suit the strength of that floor. Dry Conditions
Components and load data are based on dry internal warehouse applications.
Temperature Range
+3°c to +35°c. Although the system principally has a pre-galvanised finish there are some painted components, and the medium span can incorporate chipboard shelving. Therefore applications in Chill and Cold stores with temperatures below +3°C, where moisture is likely to be present, need to have their material finish checked for suitability. Chipboard decking must not be allowed to become damp.

RACK DIMENSIONS
Frame Width ‘W’
Frame widths are expressed by their nominal dimension, i.e. either 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, 800 or 1000mm.
Rack Width ‘W+’
The actual rack dimensions are slightly greater than the frame dimensions: Single entry racks = nominal frame dimension + 7mm. Double entry racks = nominal combined frame dimension + 17mm. For racks with back bracing a further 3mm must be added for single racks and the same for double racks.
Bay Length ‘L’
The bay length is the actual ‘centre to centre’ dimension between the uprights.
Overall Rack Length The overall length of rack equals the total of the bay centres + 50mm. Shelf Height Adjustment
Adjustment is on a 25mm increment, within the following limits. Short span bays, shelf pitches up to 800mm. Medium span bays, shelf pitches up to 1500mm.
Shelf Heights
To save confusion over baseplate thickness and differing amounts of levelling due to uneven floors, all shelf heights are expressed from the top of the baseplate. This means shelves will have heights ending with 00, 25, 50, or 75mm
Tolerances
The above dimensions are the theoretical design dimensions and will be subject to normal production and assembly tolerances.
All dimensions within this manual are in millimetres (mm), unless stated otherwise. Issue: September 2006

SHELVING COMPONENTS An HI280 shelving installation will be built using a combination of individual components carefully selected to provide the style of system required by each client. The three main groups of components that will be required are: frame components i.e. uprights, baseplates, frame cladding, bay components i.e. shelves, beams, back cladding, accessory components i.e. accessories, drawers, doors etc. With the HI280 shelving system a different set of bay components are required when building short span racks as opposed to building medium span racks. Therefore to aid selection and to make identification easier the components described within this manual have been split into the following sections: Section B – Frame Components Section C – Short Span Bay Components Section D – Medium Span Bay Components Section E – Accessories Section F – Drawer and Tray Sets Section G – Door Sets
SHELVING APPLICATIONS + DESIGN The following applications are covered within this manual: Section H – Low Rise Short Span Shelving (up to 3000mm high). Section J – Low Rise Medium Span Shelving (up to 3000mm high). Section K – High Rise Short Span Shelving (from 3100 to 12,000mm high).
ILLUSTRATIONS All illustrations within this manual are designed to be informative rather than necessarily to scale. If detailed dimensioning information is required, separate reference should be made to product drawings rather than estimating the information from an illustration.

UPRIGHT TYPES: S, K and EK
Section
T-shaped upright which is 50mm wide by 51mm front to back. The same section is used for both the front and rear uprights within a frame. The upright is formed to create a rectangle hollow section as part of the web, this gives the upright high load carrying capacity with respect to material thickness. The return lips of the section are clinched together at 100mm intervals.
Duty
There are three grades of upright section: Upright S (standard): rolled from 0.7mm thick material, Upright K (heavy): rolled from 0.9mm thick material, and Upright EK (extra heavy): rolled from 1.2mm thick material.
Upright S or K
These uprights can be identified by the grooves along the front face, and the absence of face holes, other than those at either end. Additional the upright type either S or K is punched at 300mm centres along the outside face of the longer return lip.
Upright EK
This upright can be identified by its smooth front face, and the pairs of face holes punched at regular 100mm increments along its length.
Web Holes
The upright web is provided with a series of holes / hooks: Integrated hooks at 25mm increments, to locate the shelves and beams. Oval holes at 100mm increments, for swage fixing frame battens and cladding. Smaller round holes also at 100mm increments, for riveting side braces and battens. continued over page.
Issue: September 2006
Section B – Frame Components
Page B.5
Face Holes
The upright face is also provided with a series of holes: Central 4.5mm hole at either end, to locate the baseplate fixing when required. A pair of 6.5mm holes spaced 26.4mm apart. One set positioned 19.5mm from the bottom of the upright, and another set 100mm from the top. These holes are used for fixing racks back to back to create double entries and to provide fixing holes for upright splices and back braces. (Use M6x20mm nuts and bolts for fixing uprights back to back). Additionally the EK upright has further pairs of 6.5mm holes punched at regular 100mm increments along its face. These are additional fixings holes for EK solid back cladding and back braces.
Length
Standard upright lengths of: Type S: 1000, 1600, 2100, 2300, 2500, and 3000mm. Type K: 2100, 2300, 2500, 3000, and 4600mm. Type EK: 2100, 2300, 2500, 3000, and 4600mm. Non-standard lengths can be produced in lengths of 1000 to 8000mm in 100mm increments.
Structural
The upright is a structural component.
Material
0.7, 0.9 and 1.2mm thick pre-galvanised steel.
Finish
The standard finish is pre-galvanised. Alternative finish for the K upright is pre-painted steel Anthracite RAL 7016 over the top of the pre-galvanised base.
Part Codes
One piece.

A baseplate must be fitted to every upright to: -Provide a smooth bearing surface for the upright, -Spread the load of the upright over a reasonable area of the floor, -Provide a means of fixing the upright to the concrete floor, -Provide a means of levelling the upright when necessary.
Baseplate
50mm wide x 39mm front to back x 1.2mm thick. The baseplate extends approximately 2mm beyond the front face of the upright. The U profile upstand of the baseplate pushes into the rectangular hollow section in the web of the upright, and the tangs on the baseplate U profile clip into specific slot openings in the upright.
Maximum Load
Maximum load per baseplate is 1500kg, (i.e. 3000kg per frame). Assumes a floor of minimum grade C16/20 concrete (Eurocode 2).
Baseplate Fixing
When the design requires, the following fixings should be used: Baseplate to upright: a single 4.2 dia. x 15mm long screw per baseplate. Baseplate to floor: a single hammer screw or a single expander bolt.
Levelling Plate
1.2mm thick, but slightly larger than the baseplates at 50mm wide x 42mm front to back. Levelling plates should not be stacked higher than 20mm.

UPRIGHT SPLICE
Use
When uprights greater than 8000mm long are required two uprights may be spliced together. Both uprights must be of the same section type.
Position
Each splice plate covers the pockets either side of the joint. Therefore the splice position is most important and must be decided on an application by application basis to ensure the splice doesn’t coincide with either: a shelf, a batten, or bracing diagonal. The ideal position would be at mid height so that each section is the same length, but if this is not possible the splice should be raised so that the bottom section is always larger than the top section. The closest a shelf / shelf beam can be positioned to the joint is 125mm below, or 150mm above the joint. The closest available hole to the joint for a batten / bracing fixing is 139mm below (oval hole), or 111mm above the joint (round hole).
Assembly
Each assembly comprises two plates and ten MC6S 6x20 screws and nuts. Eight of the screws pass through the upright face and two through the web. These fixings use the existing holes in the EK, but when using the S or K uprights six of the face fixings will require new 6.5mm dia. holes to be drilled on site. Alternatively these holes can be factory provided through the specials request / coding / pricing procedure.
Structural
The splice is a structural component.
Material + Finish
2mm thick pre-galvanised steel.

ASSEMBLY TOOLS TYPES K and EK
Use
These tools are used to make the swage fixings on frame battens, cladding and brackets. The tool is inserted through the swage hole in the batten/cladding etc. and into an oval hole in the upright, and then turned through 180°. This rotation swages the steel of the batten/cladding into the upright hole thus creating the fixing.
Type
There are two types of tool, the K and EK designed to suit the steel upright thickness. The K tool is also used with the type S uprights. It is important that the correct tool is used for each upright. They can be identified by their colour, the EK tool also has a groove around its shaft.
Life
If the resultant hole through the swage measures less than 9.5mm diameter, the tool is worn and needs replacing. Each assembly tool will last approximately 1000 swages.
Material
Steel with case hardened surface treatment.

SECTION C – SHORT SPAN BAY COMPONENTS INTRODUCTION
Bay Components
These are the components that give the rack its length, and basically consist of the shelf and its supporting beam. These two main components within short span differ from the shelf and beam used within the HI280 medium span system. Each system is largely unique with its own range of applications and accessories with only a few minor accessories being common across both systems. Therefore to save confusion this section of the manual only deals with the Short Span Bay Components, leaving medium span for the next section.
Bay Lengths
Short span is only available in bay lengths of 900, 1000 and 1290mm.
Frame Widths
Short span is only available in frame widths of 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, and 800mm. The larger 1000mm frame width is only available in medium span.

SHELF REINFORCEMENT BAR
Use
Only to be used with ‘H’ heavy duty shelves. Shelf reinforcement consists of two parts, the reinforcement bar/s and their supports at either end. The shelf can be reinforced with one or two longitudinal bars depending upon the required additional loading. There is no advantage using a third bar, it will not further increase the capacity. The longitudinal bars hook over recesses on the top edges of the supports. Shelves positioned below 100mm from the floor can not be reinforced. Shelves positioned at 100mm from the floor use a base support. Shelves positioned above 100mm from the floor use the normal support.
Length
To suit the standard bay lengths of 900, 1000, and 1290mm.
Fitting
The shelf reinforcement is fitted before the shelf is positioned.
Structural
The reinforcement bar is a structural component.
Material
0.9mm thick pre-galvanised steel for the 900 and 1000mm bars, and 1.2mm thick pre-galvanised steel for the 1290mm bar.

BACK CLADDING There are four different solutions for cladding the back of an HI280 bay of shelving. Each solution designed to meet varying requirements uses different components, fixing methods and cladding trim. These components are detailed on the following pages. These solutions can be summarised as follows:
1.
Full Width Solid Cladding This will be the main solution for cladding low rise racks. Height: one piece sheets up to 1300mm, taller bays use two or more sheets. Fixing: fixed to the upright with clips. Cladding trim: a single piece of plastic trim. Structural: this method of cladding is NOT structural.
2.
Half Width Solid Cladding Two half width sheets swaged together on site to form full width cladding. This will mainly be used when supplying pre-packed shelving kits in cartons through catalogue sales, E-business etc. Height: half width sheets up to 2500mm, taller bays use additional sheets. Fixing: fixed to the upright with clips. Cladding trim: two pieces of plastic trim. Structural: this method of cladding is NOT structural.
3.
EK Solid Cladding Bolted cladding which can replace back braces in taller heavier loaded racks that use the EK upright. Racks will be clad using a combination of 1000 and 1500mm high sheets. Height: individual sheets either 1000 or 1500mm. Fixing: fixed to the upright with nuts and bolts. Cladding trim: the sheets are overlapped therefore no trim is required. Structural: this method of cladding IS structural.
4.
Mesh Cladding Wire mesh cladding providing stock segregation whilst permitting the transfer of light and air circulation. Height: one piece sheets up to 2500mm, taller bays use two or more sheets. Fixing: fixed to the upright with clips. Cladding trim: no cladding trim is used. Structural: this method of cladding is NOT structural.

Section C – Short Span Bay Components
Page C.11
FULL WIDTH SOLID BACK CLADDING
Use
The cladding is positioned between the back uprights within a bay to enclose the storage compartment. In double entry racks the cladding is common, being shared between both bays.
Bay Lengths
To suit standard bay lengths of 900, 1000, and 1290mm. The actual panel size is 51mm less the bay size.
Heights
Standard heights of 800, 1000, 1200, and 1300mm. A combination of two or more panels can be used to clad taller bays. Where a combination is used the gap between panels should be covered with a piece of cladding trim. Example of combinations: 2100mm bay height use 800 + 1300mm panels. 2500mm bay height use 1200 + 1300mm panels. 3000mm bay height use 3 x 1000mm panels. See Appendix B – Back Cladding Schedule for full details.
Fixings
Each panel is attached to the uprights with 6 back cladding clips. The hook on the clip passes through one of the rectangular hooks punched along either side of the panel.
Structural
This type of cladding is NOT structural.
Material
0.6mm thick steel.
Finish
Either pre-galvanised or painted Grey White RAL 9002.

EK SOLID BACK CLADDING
Use
Can only be used in association with the EK upright. In high bay shelving this cladding sheet can be used to replace back bracing.
Bay Lengths
To suit standard bay lengths of 900, 1000, and 1290mm The actual panel size is 6.5mm less than the bay size.
Heights
Either 1000mm or 1500mm. A combination of two or more panels are used in the height to clad taller bays with the panels overlapped at least 50mm saving on the need for cladding trim. Remember to allow for this overlap when calculating the required combinations. For example a 3000mm bay can either use: a) 2x1000mm plus 1x1500mm panels with overlaps, or b) 2x1500mm panels with a 50mm overlap and a gap of 50mm between the bottom panel and the floor.
Fixings
Bolted to the uprights using MC6S 6x20mm fixings through the holes in the upright face. Positioned at top, bottom and evenly spaced in between. The 1000mm panel uses 6 nuts and bolts per panel (3 each side). The 1500mm panel uses 8 nuts and bolts per panel (4 each side).
Structural
This type of cladding is a part of the structure.

SECTION D – MEDIUM SPAN BAY COMPONENTS INTRODUCTION
Bay Components
These are the components that give the rack its length, and basically consist of the medium span beam and in-fill shelves. These two main components within medium span differ from the shelf and beam used within the HI280 short span system. Each system is largely unique with its own range of applications and accessories with only a few minor accessories being common across both systems. Therefore to save confusion this section of the manual only deals with the Medium Span Bay Components, with the short span components being described within the previous section.
Bay Lengths
Medium span is available in bay lengths of 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250, and 2500mm.
Frame Widths
Medium span is only available in frame widths of 500, 600, 800, and 1000mm. The narrower frame widths are only available in short span.

MEDIUM SPAN BEAM
Use
Used in pairs the beams are located either between the rear or front uprights via hooks on the ends of the beam corresponding with those on the web of the upright. The ends of the beam are provided with recesses enabling them to fit around the return flanges on the upright. This connection provides good stability along the length of the rack. The beam web is provided with hooks that can support either the in-fill shelves or cross beams. Oval holes in the top of the beam are to accommodate accessories.
Section
The medium span beam is the same section as the short span base plinth but with the addition of the holes in the top face and the hooks to support the medium span steel in-fill shelves.
Length
To suit bay lengths of 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250, and 2500mm.

Design Data The design data contained within this manual is in accordance with the recommendations of “The Federation Europeenne de la Manutention” (FEM) Code 10.2.06. Frame/Upright Types All types of upright are permitted within ‘Low Rise Short Span Shelving’. Erection Tolerance For the design data to remain accurate it is important that the shelving is installed within a tolerance of 1/350 both across and down the aisle. (i.e. a 3500mm frame must be installed within 10mm of plumb). Minimum Number of Bays The design tables are based on a minimum of 3 consecutive bays per rack. If a rack contains fewer bays, then the allowable bay load from the design tables needs to be reduced by multiplying by the following factors. Single bay racks (or sections of rack): multiply by 0.8 Two bay racks (or sections of rack): multiply by 0.9 Different Bay Styles within the same Rack – Bay Load When designing racks that contain bays of the same height, but different bay loads. Design the highest loaded bay according to the total number of bays of this type (i.e. applying the 0.8 or 0.9 factors for short racks). Design each type of lower loaded bay according to the total number of bays of this type including bays of the higher load. Therefore a single low loaded bay may be designed as a multi-bay rack if it is with at least two other higher loaded bays. Different Bay Styles within the same Rack – Bay Height When designing racks that contain bays of different height, each section should be designed for the actual number of bays together of that height. Apply the 0.8 and 0.9 factors as appropriate.

DESIGN PROCESS
Sketch the desired rack. Indicate bay length, width, and height. Show the number of shelf levels, the desired load per shelf and the pitch between these shelves.
Check the shelf design. The most cost effective design will be to use a N normal duty shelf if available in the size you require, followed by a S standard and then a non-reinforced H heavy duty shelf. After that a reinforced H heavy duty shelf with either one or two reinforcement bars.
Check the bay design. Select the preference for either an open frame or a clad frame. The most cost effective open frame will have S uprights with the least allowable number of battens. Check the design of that frame first, and if it fails progress through to an increased number of battens or the use of the K or EK upright.
Check the baseplate and floor fixing requirements. This involves checking the load through the baseplate, and the height to width ratio of the bay. If a bay contains drawer or tray sets it MUST be fixed down regardless of its ratio.

BASEPLATE and FLOOR FIXING REQUIREMENTS
Baseplate Select the required baseplate by checking the load passing through the plate into the floor. Standard baseplate = 1500kg per upright (i.e. 3000kg/frame). Standard baseplate plus Heavy Duty levelling plate = 2500kg per upright (5000kg/frame). High Rise baseplate = 3000kg per upright (6000kg/frame).
Floor Fixings Floor fixings are necessary to securely locate the frames in position and to resist overturning. The quantity of floor fixings required will depend on the rack application, and its height to width ratio. If a baseplate is fixed down it must also be secured to the upright. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Single Entry Racks The height to the top loaded level divided by the frame width, i.e. a height of 2500mm and a frame width of 450mm, gives a height to width ratio of 5.56. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Double Entry Racks With frames bolted back to back at the top and bottom, with M6x20mm fixings. The height to the top loaded level divided by the combined frame width, i.e. a height of 2500mm and a combined width of 900mm, gives a height to width ratio of 2.78. Height to Width Ratio not greater than 5 to 1 Providing mechanical handling equipment can not approach, no floor fixings are required. Height to Width Ratio greater than 5 to 1, but less than 8 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with a hammer screw. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 8 to 1, but less than 10 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 10 to 1 No low rise rack should have a ratio greater than 10 to 1. All racks containing either drawers, trays or doors must be perimeter fixed. All racks must be considered for any special requirements that may require additional floor fixings.

DESIGN EXAMPLE ONE
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack contains 5 bays of shelving within the length. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table H1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 1000 x 450mm ‘S’ Standard shelf will support 150kg. Therefore OK to use: ‘S’ Standard duty shelves.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design Table H2 for a 2100mm high rack with a bay length of 1000mm. The frame width is 450mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 400mm. The allowable bay load for a 2 Batten Frame using type S uprights is 1057kg, which exceeds the required 1050kg. Therefore OK to use: 2 batten frame with type S uprights.
Step 3.
Baseplate and Floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate takes 525kg (1050kg/2). Therefore OK to use the Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2100/450 = 4.66 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2100/900 = 2.33 Therefore floor fixings are not required unless mechanical handing equipment is likely to come into contact with the rack.

DESIGN EXAMPLE TWO
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack ONLY contains 1 bay of shelving within the length. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table H1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 1290 x 400mm ‘H’ heavy shelf will only support 110kg without reinforcement bars, but with one reinforcement bar the load increases to 235kg. Therefore OK to use: ‘H’ heavy duty shelves with 1 reinforcement bar per shelf.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design Table H5 for a 2500mm high rack with a bay length of 1290mm. The frame width is 400mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 400mm. The allowable bay load for a: 2 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 974kg (1218kg x 0.8 single bay factor), 2 Batten Frame using type EK uprights is 1010kg (1262kg x 0.8 single bay factor), 3 Batten Frame using type S uprights is 1222kg (1528kg x 0.8 single bay factor), Therefore OK to use: 3 batten frame with type S uprights.
Step 3.
Baseplate and Floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate takes 525kg (1050kg/2). Therefore OK to use: Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2500/400 = 6.25 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2500/800 = 3.13 Therefore the single entry rack must be fully fixed down, whilst the double entry does not require fixings unless mechanical handing equipment is likely to come into contact with the rack.

SECTION J - LOW RISE MEDIUM SPAN APPLICATIONS and DESIGN INTRODUCTION This section of the manual covers the design of ‘Low Rise Medium Span Shelving’ i.e. Low Rise : shelving heights between 1000 and 3000mm. Medium Span : bay lengths between 1500, and 2500mm. Shelving outside of this range will be covered in a separate section of the manual. The components for this type of shelving are described within: Section B : Frame Components. Section D : Medium Span Bay Components. Design Data The design data contained within this manual is in accordance with the recommendations of “The Federation Europeenne de la Manutention” (FEM) Code 10.2.06. Frame/Upright Types Type S uprights are NOT permitted within ‘Low Rise Medium Span Shelving’. Erection Tolerance For the design data to remain accurate it is important that the shelving is installed within a tolerance of 1/350 both across and down the aisle. (i.e. a 3500mm frame must be installed within 10mm of plumb). Minimum Number of Bays The design tables are based on a minimum of 3 consecutive bays per rack. If a rack contains fewer bays, then the allowable bay load from the design tables needs to be reduced by multiplying by the following factors. Single bay racks (or sections of rack): multiply by 0.8 Two bay racks (or sections of rack):: multiply by 0.9 Different Bay Styles within the same Rack – Bay Load When designing racks that contain bays of the same height, but different bay loads. Design the highest loaded bay according to the total number of bays of this type (i.e. applying the 0.8 or 0.9 factors for short racks). Design each type of lower loaded bay according to the total number of bays of this type including bays of the higher load. Therefore a single low loaded bay may be designed as a multi-bay rack if it is with at least two other higher loaded bays. Different Bay Styles within the same Rack – Bay Height When designing racks that contain bays of different height, each section should be designed for the actual number of bays together of that height. Apply the 0.8 and 0.9 factors as appropriate.

DESIGN PROCESS
Sketch the desired rack. Indicate bay length, width, and height. Show the number of shelf levels, the desired load per shelf and the pitch between these shelves.
Check the shelf design. Select the preference for either steel shelves or chipboard. Check the required load against the permissible for the selected shelf material.
Check the bay design. Select the preference for either an open frame or a clad frame. The most cost effective open frame will have K uprights with the least allowable number of battens. Check the design of that frame first, and if it fails progress through to an increased number of battens or the use of the EK upright.
Check the baseplate and floor fixing requirements. This involves checking the load through the baseplate, and the height to width ratio of the bay.

BASEPLATE and FLOOR FIXING REQUIREMENTS
Baseplate Select the required baseplate by checking the load passing through the plate into the floor. Standard baseplate = 1500kg per upright (i.e. 3000kg/frame). Standard baseplate plus Heavy Duty levelling plate = 2500kg per upright (5000kg/frame). High Rise baseplate = 3000kg per upright (6000kg/frame).
Floor Fixings Floor fixings are necessary to securely locate the frames in position and to resist overturning. The quantity of floor fixings required will depend on the rack application, and its height to width ratio. If a baseplate is fixed down it must also be secured to the upright. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Single Entry Racks The height to the top loaded level divided by the frame width, i.e. a height of 2500mm and a frame width of 450mm, gives a height to width ratio of 5.56. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Double Entry Racks With frames bolted back to back at the top and bottom, with M6x20mm fixings. The height to the top loaded level divided by the combined frame width, i.e. a height of 2500mm and a combined width of 900mm, gives a height to width ratio of 2.78. Height to Width Ratio not greater than 5 to 1 Providing mechanical handling equipment can not approach, no floor fixings are required. Height to Width Ratio greater than 5 to 1, but less than 8 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with a hammer screw. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 8 to 1, but less than 10 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 10 to 1 No low rise rack should have a ratio greater than 10 to 1. All racks containing either drawers, trays or doors must be perimeter fixed. All racks must be considered for any special requirements that may require additional floor fixings.

DESIGN EXAMPLE ONE
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack contains 5 bays of shelving within the length. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table J1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 2000mm long steel shelves will support 400kg. Using design Table J2 check the suitability of the chipboard shelves. 2000mm long chipboard shelves will only support 335kg supported on 5 cross beams. Therefore OK to use: Steel shelves (alternatively quote chipboard with a reduced capacity of 335kg).
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design Table J4 for a 2100mm high rack with a bay length of 2000mm. The frame width is 600mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 650mm. The allowable bay load for a 2 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 1540kg, which exceeds the required 1400kg. Therefore OK to use: 2 batten frame with type K uprights.
Step 3.
Baseplate and floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate takes 700kg (1400kg/2). Therefore OK to use the Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2100/600 = 3.5 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2100/1200 = 1.75 Therefore floor fixings are not required unless mechanical handing equipment is likely to come into contact with the rack.

DESIGN EXAMPLE TWO
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack only contains 2 bays of shelving within the length. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table J1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 2500mm long steel shelves will support 350kg. Using design Table J2 check the suitability of the chipboard shelves. 2500mm long chipboard shelves will support 330kg supported on 6 cross beams. Therefore OK to use: Either steel or chipboard shelves.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design Table J8 for a 2500mm high rack with a bay length of 2500mm. The frame width is 800mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 400mm. The allowable bay load for a: 3 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 1946kg (2162kg x 0.9 two bay factor), 3 Batten Frame using type EK uprights is 2333kg (2592kg x 0.9 two bay factor), 4 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 2105kg (2339kg x 0.9 two bay factor), Therefore OK to use, either: 3 batten frame with type EK uprights, or 4 batten frame with type K uprights.
Step 3.
Baseplate and floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate take 1050kg (2100kg/2). Therefore OK to use Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2500/800 = 3.12 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 2500/1600 = 1.56 Therefore floor fixings are not required unless mechanical handing equipment is likely to come into contact with the rack.

SECTION K – HIGH RISE SHORT SPAN APPLICATIONS and DESIGN INTRODUCTION This section of the manual covers the design of ‘High Rise Short Span Shelving’ i.e. High Rise : shelving heights between 3100 and 12,000mm. Short Span : bay lengths of 900, 1000, and 1290mm. Shelving outside of this range will be covered in a separate section of the manual. The components for this type of shelving are described within: Section B : Frame Components. Section C : Short Span Bay Components. Mechanical Handling / Access Equipment The term ‘High Rise’ when used in conjunction with HI280, means the shelving is tall, it does not indicate that the shelving supports any form of handling or access equipment. HI280 is a hand loaded shelving system, that is free standing and totally independent from the mechanical handling equipment. If the system is required to support such equipment then the application must be referred to the ‘Product Support Department’ for design. These ‘crane type’ applications are not covered within the scope of this manual. Design Data The design data contained within this manual is in accordance with the recommendations of “The Federation Europeenne de la Manutention” (FEM) Code 10.2.06. Frame/Upright Types Type S uprights are NOT permitted within ‘High Rise Short Span Shelving’. Erection Tolerance For the design data to remain accurate it is important that the shelving is installed within a tolerance of 1/350 both across and down the aisle. (i.e. a 3500mm frame must be installed within 10mm of plumb). Minimum Number of Bays The design tables are based on a minimum of 3 consecutive bays per rack. If a rack contains fewer bays, then the design should be referred to the ‘Product Support Department’ for design.
DESIGN To aid the design this section of the manual has been split into two: Section K1
3100 to 5500mm high racks. Using battened, battened and braced, or clad frames, with or without back bracing.
Section K2
3100 to 12,000mm high racks. Using only fully braced or clad frames, and back bracing.

SECTION K1 - DESIGN PROCESS (racks 3100 to 5500mm)
Sketch the desired rack. Indicate bay length, width, and height. Show the number of shelf levels, the desired load per shelf and the pitch between these shelves. Indicate the preference for open or clad frames and backs. Check the shelf design. The most cost effective design will be to use a N normal duty shelf if available in the size you require, followed by a S standard and then a non-reinforced H heavy duty shelf. After that a reinforced H heavy duty shelf with either one or two reinforcement bars. Check the bay design, and position any back bracing accordingly. Three sets of bay design tables are provided: ‘Without Back Bracing’. ‘Back Bracing Every Third Bay’. ‘Back Bracing Every Other Bay’, or ‘Fully Back Clad’ racks Select the preference for either an open frame or a clad frame. The most cost effective frame will have K uprights with the least allowable number of battens. Using the ‘Without Back Bracing’ table, check the design of the chosen frame, and if it fails progress through to an increased number of battens or the use of the EK upright. If the design still fails move onto the next set of tables i.e. ‘Back Bracing every third bay’, and if that fails move on again to the final set ‘Back Bracing every other bay’. This process will give the most cost effective frame with the least amount of back bracing. Note: when back bracing K uprights it is necessary to drill the uprights to accept the fixings, therefore it may be more cost effective to provide the pre-punched EK upright. Check the baseplate, floor fixing, and any top tie requirements. This involves checking the load through the baseplate, and the height to width ratio of the bay. If a bay contains drawer or tray sets it MUST be fixed down regardless of its ratio. Issue: Sept 2006

SECTION K1 – BACK BRACING / CLADDING (racks 3100 to 5500mm) The back bracing requirement will have been determined through the design process and the use of the ‘Bay Capacity’ tables K2 to K19. These table will have highlighted the need for one of the following bracing solutions: Tables K2 – K7 Racks ‘Without Back Bracing’ Tables K8 – K13 Racks with ‘Back Bracing Every Third Bay’ Tables K14 – K19 Racks with ‘Back Bracing Every Other Bay’ or ‘Fully Back Clad’
Bracing Type The bracing used in these racks will be the 3mm thick ‘Back Brace EK’ which is described within section C of this manual. These braces are bolted to the upright through the holes in the front face of the EK upright. When used in conjunction with K uprights, the uprights will need to be drilled on site to accept the fixing. Alternatively to save site drilling a decision may be taken to upgrade the uprights from K to EK so that the holes are automatically included. Bracing panel height Bay length Hole centres ‘L’ Fixings

M6x20mm long screws and nuts.
Back Cladding Type The choice of back cladding type will depend on whether the design requires back braces or not. If back braces ARE required then the cladding must be the structural ‘EK Solid Back Cladding’. If back braces are NOT required then the cladding can be the non-structural type with clips. Both types of cladding are described within section C of this manual. The ‘EK Solid Back Cladding’ is structural and is bolted to the upright through the holes in the front face of the EK upright. When used in conjunction with K uprights, the uprights will need to be drilled on site to accept the fixing. Alternatively to save site drilling a decision may be taken to upgrade the uprights from K to EK so that the holes are automatically included. Panel heights
1000 and 1500mm, Panels may be overlapped to achieve required height.
Fixings
M6x20mm long screws and nuts. The 1000mm panel uses 6 nuts and bolts per panel (3 each side). The 1500mm panel uses 8 nuts and bolts per panel (4 each side).
The ‘Full Width Solid Back Cladding’ which uses clips is NOT structural and can only be used in positions where back bracing is not required. Panel heights
800, 1000, 1200 and 1300mm. A schedule of the recommended panel combinations is given within Appendix B of this manual.
Fixings
6 clips per panel, a piece of cladding trim is used to cover the gap between panels.

Bracing Layout within the Height Bracing commences at the bottom and progresses up the rack in 1000mm panels, with the second panel within the height alternating into the adjacent bay, and then returning for the third panel etc. These panels should be laid out so that the unbraced section ‘A’ at the top of the rack never exceeds 531mm. In racks where this would occur an additional panel must be placed at the top of the rack so that it overlaps ‘B’ the panel below. This overlap should never exceed 500mm.

Bracing Layout along the Length of the Rack The use of the design tables will have highlighted the frequency of the back bracing. This will be either ‘Every third bay’ or ‘Every other bay’. The following illustrations show the position that the bracing starts within both a typical single and double entry rack. The bracing then alternates in the height with the adjacent bay as described on the previous page. The bracing locations should be evenly distributed along the whole length of each rack.
Back Bracing Every Third Bay
The number of bracing sets equals the number of bays divided by 3, rounding up if necessary. i.e. a 9 bay rack requires 3 sets, and a 10 bay rack requires 4 sets.
Back Bracing Every Other Bay
The number of bracing sets equals the number of bays divided by 2, rounding up if necessary. i.e. a 9 bay rack requires 5 sets, and a 10 bay rack also requires 5 sets.

SECTION K1 – BASEPLATE and FLOOR FIXING REQUIREMENT (racks 3100 to 5500mm) Baseplate Select the required baseplate by checking the load passing through the plate into the floor. Standard baseplate = 1500kg per upright (i.e. 3000kg/frame). Standard baseplate plus Heavy Duty levelling plate = 2500kg per upright (5000kg/frame). High Rise baseplate = 3000kg per upright (6000kg/frame).
Floor Fixings Floor fixings are necessary to securely locate the frames in position and to resist overturning. The quantity of floor fixings required will depend on the rack application, and its height to width ratio. If a baseplate is fixed down it must also be secured to the upright. Height to Width Ratio Definition - Single Entry Racks The height to the top loaded level divided by the frame width, i.e. a height of 5000mm and a frame width of 450mm, gives a height to width ratio of 11.11. Height to Width Ratio Definition - Double Entry Racks With frames bolted back to back at the top and bottom, with M6x20mm fixings. The height to the top loaded level divided by the combined frame width, i.e. a height of 5000mm and a combined width of 900mm, gives a height to width ratio of 5.56. Height to Width Ratio not greater than 5 to 1 Providing mechanical handling equipment can not approach, and there is no back cladding or bracing, no floor fixings are required. Height to Width Ratio greater than 5 to 1, but less than 8 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with a hammer screw. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 8 to 1, but less than 10 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 10 to 1, but less than 15 to 1 (Single Entry Racks Only). Standard baseplate: all uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts, and single entry racks top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. High Rise baseplate: all uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 15 to 1 (Single Entry Racks Only). Standard baseplate: this baseplate must not be used with ratios greater than 15 to 1. High Rise baseplate: all uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts, and single entry racks top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. All back uprights connected to bracing or EK back cladding must be fixed to the floor. All racks containing either drawers, trays or doors must be perimeter fixed. All racks must be considered for any special requirements that may require additional floor fixings.

SECTION K1 – TOP TIE REQUIREMENT (racks 3100 to 5500mm) When the rack Height to Width ratio dictates, single entry racks need to be top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. These Top Ties provide stability to the structure, they are not designed as a fixing location for any kind of mechanical handling equipment. Position They are positioned at the top of the shelving allowing sufficient clearance below the tie for any handling equipment that is operating within the aisle, whilst also providing uninterrupted access to the top storage location. Section The tie should be designed on a project by project basis, using a suitably available steel section such as slotted angle, designed to meet the load requirements for the given aisle width. Design The steel section should be designed for a compression and tension load equal to 5% of the single entry bay load. Fixing The top tie can be fixed either directly to the upright or via a standard baseplate used as a top cap.

DESIGN EXAMPLE 1
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack contains 5 bays of shelving within the length. The client will be using mobile steps to access the top storage levels. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table K1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 1000 x 450mm ‘H’ heavy shelf will support 235kg without reinforcement bars. Therefore OK to use: ‘H’ heavy duty shelves without reinforcement.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design Table K2 for a 3100mm high rack with a bay length of 1000mm. The frame width is 450mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 500mm. The allowable bay load for a 4 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 1483kg, which exceeds the required 1255kg. Therefore OK to use: 4 batten frame with type K uprights.
Step 3.
Baseplate and floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate takes 628kg (1255kg/2). Therefore OK to use the Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 3100/450 = 6.89 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 3100/900 = 3.44 Therefore the single entry rack must be fixed down, whilst the double entry only requires fixing because mechanical access equipment is being used to access the higher storage levels.

DESIGN EXAMPLE 2
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for open frames. Each rack contains 10 bays of shelving within the length. The client will be using a free range order picking truck (that does not require any support form the racking), to access the top storage levels. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table K1 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 1000 x 600mm ‘H’ heavy shelf will support 215kg without reinforcement bars. Therefore OK to use: ‘H’ heavy duty shelves without reinforcement.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design ‘Table K6 – Without Back Bracing’ for a 5200mm high rack with a bay length of 1000mm. Frame width is 600mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 500mm. Not even the strongest frame on this table will carry the required 2090kg bay load. Therefore progress to the next set of tables, with every third bay back braced. Using design ‘Table K12 – Back Bracing Every Third Bay’ for a 5200mm high rack with a bay length of 1000mm. Frame width is 600mm, and maximum shelf spacing of 500mm. The allowable bay load for a: 4 Batten Frame using type EK uprights is 2590 kg, or 5 Batten Frame using type K uprights is 2222 kg.

Therefore OK to use either frame, but because back bracing is required it may be preferable to use the 4 batten frame with the EK uprights that already have holes. Back Bracing is required in every third bay: A rack with 10 bays, divided by 3 = 4 bays (i.e. bays 1, 4, 7, and 10). Step 3.
Baseplate and floor fixing requirement. Each baseplate takes 1045kg (2090kg/2). Therefore OK to use the Standard Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 5200/600 = 8.67 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 5200/1200 = 4.33 Therefore the single entry rack must be fixed down with expander bolts, whilst the double entry only requires fixing because mechanical access equipment is being used to access the higher storage levels.

SECTION K2 - DESIGN PROCESS (racks 3100 to 12,000mm)
Sketch the desired rack. Indicate bay length, width, and height. Show the number of shelf levels, the desired load per shelf and the pitch between these shelves. Indicate the preference for braced or clad, frames and backs. Check the shelf design. The most cost effective design will be to use a N normal duty shelf if available in the size you require, followed by a S standard and then a non-reinforced H heavy duty shelf. After that a reinforced H heavy duty shelf with either one or two reinforcement bars. Check the bay design. With this type of racking the frames must either be fully braced or clad. The backs of the racks must again be braced or clad. Back bracing is in every other bay in single racks and every bay in double racks. Baseplate Standard baseplates can be used up to 5500mm (subject to loading), but racks over 5500mm high must use the High Rise Baseplate. Upright Splice Frame over 8000mm high will need to have spliced uprights. This splice must be positioned in accordance will the recommendations contained with section B, so that the splice plates do not clash with either a shelf, beam, batten, or bracing diagonal. Check the floor fixing, and any top tie requirements. This involves checking the height to width ratio of the bay. If a bay contains drawer or tray sets it MUST be fixed down regardless of its ratio.

SECTION K2 – BACK BRACING / CLADDING (racks 3100 to 12,000mm) With this type of racking the backs of the racks must either be fully braced or clad. Back bracing is in every other bay.
Bracing Type The bracing used in these racks will be the ‘Back Brace EK’ as described within section K1. The bracing is set out in 1000mm high panels commencing at the bottom of the racks and progressing to full height using the patterns described, just adding extra 1000mm panels to achieve the required height.
Back Cladding Type In bays where the design dictates the use of back braces, these braces can only be substituted by the structural bolted ‘EK Solid Back Cladding’ which is described within section K1. In theory bays where braces are not required can be fitted with the non-structural cladding using clips. However this complicates the design and the build process on site, which may out weigh any possible material cost savings.
Bracing Layout along the Length of the Rack The following illustration shows the position of this bracing in every other bay.
The number of bracing sets equals the number of bays divided by 2, rounding up if necessary. i.e. a 9 bay single rack requires 5 sets, and a 10 bay single rack also requires 5 sets.

SECTION K2 – BASEPLATE and FLOOR FIXING REQUIREMENT (racks 3100 to 12,000mm) Baseplate Select the required baseplate by checking the load passing through the plate into the floor. Standard baseplate = 1500kg per upright (i.e. 3000kg/frame). Standard baseplate plus Heavy Duty levelling plate = 2500kg per upright (5000kg/frame). High Rise baseplate = 3000kg per upright (6000kg/frame). Racks over 5500mm high must use the High Rise Baseplate. Floor Fixings Floor fixings are necessary to securely locate the frames in position and to resist overturning. The quantity of floor fixings required will depend on the rack application, and its height to width ratio. If a baseplate is fixed down it must also be secured to the upright. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Single Entry Racks The height to the top loaded level divided by the frame width, i.e. a height of 5000mm and a frame width of 450mm, gives a height to width ratio of 11.11. Height To Width Ratio Definition - Double Entry Racks With frames bolted back to back at the top and bottom, with M6x20mm fixings. The height to the top loaded level divided by the combined frame width, i.e. a height of 5000mm and a combined width of 900mm, gives a height to width ratio of 5.56. Height to Width Ratio not greater than 5 to 1 Providing mechanical handling equipment can not approach, and there is no back cladding or bracing, no floor fixings are required. Height to Width Ratio greater than 5 to 1, but less than 8 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with a hammer screw. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 8 to 1, but less than 10 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 10 to 1, but less than 15 to 1 Standard baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts, and single entry racks top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. High Rise baseplate: perimeter uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts. Height to Width Ratio greater than 15 to 1, but less than 20 to 1 (Single Entry Racks Only). No double entry rack is allowed to exceed a ratio greater than 15 to 1 Standard baseplate: this baseplate must not be used with ratios greater than 15 to 1. High Rise baseplate: all uprights must be fixed down with expander bolts, and single entry racks top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. All back uprights connected to bracing or EK back cladding must be fixed to the floor. All racks containing either drawers, trays or doors must be perimeter fixed. All racks must be considered for any special requirements that may require additional floor fixings.

DESIGN EXAMPLE 3
Using the above example to demonstrate the correct design procedure. The client has a preference for clad frames and clad backs. Each rack contains 10 bays of shelving within the length. The client will be using a free range order picking truck (that does not require any support form the racking), to access the top storage levels. Step 1.
Shelf selection. Using design Table K20 check the suitability of the steel shelves. 1000 x 600mm ‘H’ heavy shelf will support 215kg without reinforcement bars. Therefore OK to use: ‘H’ heavy duty shelves without reinforcement.
Step 2.
Frame selection. Using design ‘Table K21 – With Back Bracing’ for a 9200mm high rack with a bay length of 1000mm. Frame width is 600mm, with a maximum shelf spacing of 500mm. The allowable bay load for a: 9200mm Clad frame using type EK uprights is 3816kg. Therefore OK to use clad frame, with EK uprights. The uprights are over 8000mm high and will therefore need to be spliced. The ideal position would be at half height (4600mm), but that clashes with the shelf at 4700mm. Therefore the splice needs to be raised to say 5000mm. If this were a braced frame that position would also need to be checked to ensure it didn’t clash with a frame batten or brace. Details of the splice location are contained within Section B under the splice description.

Step 3.
Baseplate and floor fixing requirement. The rack is over 5500mm high and therefore must use the High Rise Baseplate. Single entry racks: height to width ratio equals 9200/600 = 15.3 Double entry racks: height to width ratio equals 9200/1200 = 7.7 Therefore the single entry rack must be fixed down, with expander bolts and top tied to an adjacent double entry rack. The double entry rack should be perimeter fixed down with expander bolts.

APPENDIX A – FRAME ASSEMBLY SCHEDULE This Appendix provides detailed dimensions of how the frames should be constructed, where to position the horizontal battens, and the location of frame bracing node points. The strength data contained within the manual is a result of extensive tests and calculation and involves the correct positioning of battens, braces, and fixings. It is therefore most important that correct assembly information is relayed to those constructing the frames and that the details are strictly adhered to. The design process will have highlighted which style of frame is needed for each particular application.The following schedules are included: L/D = Light Duty,

APPENDIX B – FULL WIDTH BACK CLADDING SCHEDULE
This Appendix details the combination of ‘Full Width Back Cladding Panels’ required to equip each rack height. Individual panels have a nominal height of either 800, 1000, 1200, or 1300mm. Each panel is secured to the uprights with 6 back cladding clips, three either side of the panel. The hook on the clip passes through the rectangular hooks punched along the edges of the panel. Cladding trim is used to cover the gap between these panels. The length of this trim is 140mm less than the bay length. The schedules are detailed on the following pages.

APPENDIX C – PLASTIC TRAYS and BINS
Dexion offers a wide range of plastic trays and bins, from the very small parts bin, all the way up to the large Euro Containers. This appendix to the manual describes the part of that extensive range that is most suited to use with the HI280 shelving system. It gives an overview of the tray and bin ranges and how each interfaces with the shelving, recommending required shelf pitches, and the combination of units along the shelf for each of the bay sizes. Reference should be made to separate product data / literature if more information is required about specific details regarding each products features. The most suitable trays and bins for HI280 include: ARCA Series 45, 91, and 92 of Storage Trays. ARCA ranges of Modular Bins and Storage Bins. ______________________________________________________________________________ The above illustration shows a typical 1000 x 500 x 2100mm bay of HI280 shelving, containing: 40 trays 9221.760, 24 trays 9223.760, 12 bins 9069.000 and 3 bins 9071.000

TRAY or BIN COMBINATIONS (along a shelf). With such a wide range of unit sizes it is possible to achieve numerous different combinations of tray or bins along the length of a shelf. When planning these combinations it is worth considering the following points: 1. Unit sizes are nominal, and are the external dimensions. 2. Select the correct unit, with front to back dimensions to suit your shelf width. 3. Always use the same height bins on the same shelf, otherwise it is wasteful in height. 4. Operating clearances should be left between units, and between units and the uprights. 5. Unit sides may bow slightly if heavily loaded. 6. The available space between the HI280 uprights is 50mm less than the bay length. 7. Choice of colour for unit size identification, or stock control segregation. Some of the unit sizes are more suitable than others to the different shelf lengths. The following charts give some recommended combinations for each of the bay sizes. These combinations are based on using a common unit on a shelf without mixing units. A cross reference is also provided to show which of the combinations are available for individual shelf widths

APPENDIX D – LOAD NOTICES All HI280 shelving installations should be supplied with load notices stating the capacity of the equipment installed. In addition to this, the notice should include the suppliers name and date of installation. Differing styles or configurations of rack will need their own notices. Notices should be fitted at regular intervals and displayed in prominent positions where they are clearly visible. Each must measure at least 125x250mm. The following is an example of a typical sign currently in use for this purpose.

Appendix D – Load Notices
Page App D.1
APPENDIX E - EU MANUAL HANDLING DIRECTIVE This appendix has been included to highlight the existence of the EU Directive on Manual Handling The directive sets out the Employers responsibility to make suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the safety of their Employees whilst lifting and lowering loads. This responsibly is one that our clients need to concern themselves with when planning and operating their warehouses. If during the course of our discussions with them it becomes apparent that they are unaware of their responsibility, then we have a moral duty to advise them that a directive does exist, and that they do have responsibilities under it. The directive is a comprehensive document, which also contains help and advise on assessing risk, together with handling suggestions.
The above illustration is an extract from the document. The loads indicated are for men, the figures should be reduced by a third (34%) for women. The document provides the above loads as a guideline, recognising the wide range of personal capabilities, together with the diversity of handling situations, therefore suggesting where appropriate assessment is undertaken.

APPENDIX F – HI280 on MOBILE BASES This appendix describes the use of HI280 shelving on mobile bases. The mobile bases themselves are not detailed within this manual and separate reference needs to be made to the appropriate publications. The standard design rules that apply for static racks need to be amended for use within mobile applications. These considerations include: frame types, reduced bay loads, fixings, etc.
The above illustration shows a pair of typical HI280 frames mounted on a Compactus mobile base. Base Type HI280 is only suitable for mounting on ‘powered’ or ‘hand cranked’ base types, it is not suitable for use on ‘push pull’ type bases. Fixings The special baseplates and fixings used to mount the shelving on the base should be sourced with the shelving.

Appendix F – HI280 on Mobile Bases
Page App F.1
HI280 Design
Base for Mobile The base consists of a shelf beam that is installed between the front uprights. The shelf that it supports is therefore installed back to front. It is available in both pre-galvanised and painted Grey White RAL 9002 finish. Frame Limitations Frame heights on mobile bases are limited to 2500mm. Only single entry racks greater than 500mm are permitted. All double entry racks are permitted. Frame type The only frames permitted on mobile bases are either ‘Fully Solid Clad’ or ‘Battened and Braced’ (as used in the bottom tier of a multi-tier installation). The use of the type S upright is permitted on mobile bases. Bay loads Bay loads are limited to 900kg. These should be checked against the mobile base design for each rack configuration to ensure the base capacity is sufficient. Part Codes Shelf beam painted Grey White RAL 9002:
900mm = 444047055, 1000mm = 444047052, 1290mm = 444047054.
Mobile baseplate = 444051400.
