About these instructions
Read the entire manual before starting assembly. Follow the directions in the manual to make sure the product complies with current standards.
The purpose of these assembly instructions is to facilitate correct installation and to inform of risks and how to avoid them. Bear in mind that the instructions are for your safety and the safety of others.
Use the assembly instructions and instructions for use in conjunction with:
* assembly
* regular inspections (together with the periodic inspection template)
* taking corrective action as directed
Each installation must be provided with a load sign located in a clearly visible place.
Perform regular checks to ensure the technical safety of the tyre racking. Examples of protocols for periodic pallet racking inspections are available on our website www.blsab.se.
Parts of the installation instructions and instructions for use refer to the Swedish Standard SS-EN 15635:2008 - Steel static storage systems – Application and maintenance of storage equipment. If necessary, the purchaser or user can obtain the above standard from SIS. See www.sis.se for further information.

Underlying surface
The client/user must make sure the floor is able to bear the relevant loads.
Anchoring
Tyre racks must be anchored to the floor to prevent the uprights from moving when using mechanical handling equipment in or near warehouse fixtures.
Safety
Correct rack assembly is essential for a safe structure. Assembly must be carried out professionally and in accordance with these instructions.
We recommend that several people take part in the erection and completion of the racking in order to facilitate and ensure safe installation.
Scissor lifts may be used during assembly, depending on the height and number of levels in the installation.

Inspection & Maintenance
Assembly inspections
Inspect the assembly before putting the tyre racking into service to make sure the assembly instructions were followed.
Upgrades and disposal
In the event of redeployment, upgrades or relocation of the storage system, contact BLS AB.
Daily inspections
Inspect the tyre racking daily to make sure components affecting load-bearing capacity are undamaged. Replace damaged loadbearing parts immediately. Other parts may be repaired.
Periodic inspections
By law, in addition to self-inspection, the shelves must be checked by a technical expert at least once a year to make sure it complies with assembly instructions.
Visual inspections
Perform a visual inspection to gain a first impression of the condition of the racking. If the load is well ordered and the tyre racking appears entire, it may be assumed to function well even in terms of safety. Should multiple arms, uprights or braces be deformed or impact damaged, a more thorough inspection will be required.
Deformed arms
To prevent damage, correct any deformation due to misshapen fasteners. For safety reasons, the tyre racking is designed to store tyres by means of two or three arms.
Deformed bracing members
Horizontal and diagonal braces are often struck when goods are being loaded, especially if the racking is served by forklift. Thus, check the locations where braces are fastened. If diagonal braces are deformed, they must be straightened and tensioned. Replace horizontal braces if they show any sharp creases after impact. Straighten longitudinally deformed braces.
Rectify any damage caused by e.g. collisions immediately! A damaged upright or arm is a safety hazard.

Installing tyre beams
1. Position end plates at the desired height intervals. (D)
2. Fasten the end plates using M10×20 bolts and M10 nuts with ribbed flanges. Two bolts per upright. (E)
The end plates have a 50 mm hole separation, allowing tiers with multiples of this value. (Option 1 and Option 2)
3. Raise the frames one at a time and then fasten them to each other using the tyre beam. (F)
Because the frames may lean initially, they must be plumbed to max H/350 or max 20 mm in the transverse and longitudinal rack directions

Installing tyre holders
1. Install tyre holders on the tyre beams using M8 U-bolts and M8×30 sleeve nuts. (J)
2. The number of tyre sets that can be stored depends on the tyre beam model and its length. Each set of tyres must be supported by at least two tyre holders.
From tyre beam level 4, we recommend three tyre holders for greater stability. (K)
For racks with forklift aisles, always use three tyre holders at every tyre beam level. (L)
Adjust the location of tyre holders to suit the selected configuration; see instructions (Page 15)

3. Fit three deck holders to tyre beam level 4 and above to facilitate safe loading and unloading. Centre the third holder between the two existing holders according to the dimensions above
*1450 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 725 mm **1600 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 800 mm
*2225 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 725 mm
**2400 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 800 mm
*2900 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 725 mm
**3200 mm – Intended for tyres ≤ 800 mm
Tables and figures show the recommended positions and distances between tyre holders along the tyre beam. The same locations and dimensions apply to single and double racks. The illustrations show single tyre beams.

4. The choice of cross bracing straps between tyre levels 2 and 3 in the racking depends on the model, tyre beam length and the distance between the tyre beams.
BLS bracing straps are available in lengths of 1 and 3 metres; to achieve the appropriate length, join them using M10×20 and M10 nuts with ribbed flanges. (Q)
