Bracing struts must be mounted according to the
requirements of the shelving or racking assembly plan and
in consideration of the relevant shelf load and bay load
capacities.
Any out-of-plumbness in length and in depth must not
exceed 1/350 of the installation height.
Horizontal deviation must not exceed 1/200 of the bay
width.
Use shims to correct such deviations.
The following values on fl ow level incline are considered
as target values:
Plastic bins between 5 and 10 kg operate with an
incline of approx. 5%.
Plastic bins of more than 10 kg operate with an incline
of approx. 4%.
Cartons between 5 and 15 kg operate with an incline of
approx. 6%.
Prior to setting up the entire facility, assemble and install
a sample bay fi rst and make a fl ow test with various load
carriers.
The results must be confi rmed as positive by the
customer.
Only then continue setting up the remaining bays.
Load carriers must travel straight down a lane without
moving too much to either side.
Make sure that load carriers do not hit the retrieval side of
a lane too hard.
The impact must not be that strong that loads drop out a
load carrier or that the load carrier falls off the fl ow level;
damages of any kind are not acceptable.
Correct lane incline if required; for this purpose remove all
bins from the fl ow levels.
Optionally, the impact force can be reduced by brake
rollers.
Stick load capacity labels / mount load capacity plates
before the racking facility is put into service.
Please note that it is imperative to display load capacity
data on carton live storage facilities.
4. Operating instructions
The racking installation may only be operated by trained
personnel who is able to read, understand and follow the
instructions of assembly and use as well as the relevant
national and/or local accident prevention regulations.
Before putting the installation into service, the operator
must instruct all staff members concerned about what
is important when working with that storage system and
which risks are involved.
BITO carton live storage can operate in environments with
an ambient temperature of -28°C to +40°C.
Only feed stock items or load units intended for use with
carton live storage installations onto fl ow levels.
Keep in mind that loading in FIFO operations is done at the
racking rear side whereas products stored in LIFO order
are loaded and picked at the racking front side.
Do not drop or throw loads onto fl ow levels as this may
cause damage to load carriers, products and fl ow levels.
If a load gets stuck in a lane, it is important to fi nd out
why.
Remove and replace the load that is blocking the lane.
Make sure that you never use damaged load carriers.
GB
Never use water to clean a carton live storage installation.
If a lane is obstructed, shut down and fl ag the area concerned.
Only entrust qualifi ed staff with clearing a blocked lane or area.
Often it is suffi cient to feed another load carrier into the lane at
the replenishment side to make loads going again.
Do not load shelving or racking before assembly has been
completely fi nished.
Do not exceed allowable shelf load and bay load capacities.
Always consult the manufacturer of your shelving or racking
installation if you wish to modify the layout or if there are
questions on how to assemble your installation.
Storing unpacked foods on galvanised shelves or in live storage
lanes is not permitted.
As stipulated by DIN standard EN 15636, shelving and racking
operators must ensure that visual inspections are carried out at
regular intervals
.
Additionally, any warehouse storage facility must be inspected at
least once a year by a qualifi ed person.
