2. General safety notes
BITO Pallet racking has been designed for storing standardised load carriers with a
single and a total load limit on beam levels. The most commonly used load carriers are
wood pallets and load carriers from plastic or steel.
Only use appropriate service vehicles for rack servicing. If your pallet racking
integrates pick levels such as carton fl ow shelves or pull-out pallet positions at human
reach height, these pick levels must be serviced manually.
Single loads, shelf loads and bay loads must not exceed rated load capacity limits.
Head protection
Make sure that loads are evenly distributed since structural calculations assume
uniformly distributed loads.
Any other use or any use exceeding that specifi ed is an infringement of use for the
intended purpose.
Safety shoes
Follow the instructions on design & layout, components & technical equipment,
assembly & operation specifi ed in the order documents.
Installations in Germany must comply with the safety regulations for warehouse
equipment and machinery (Richtlinien für Lagereinrichtungen und -geräte) as specifi ed

The present instructions do not apply for shelving and racking used outdoors or
in harsh environments subject to wind, snow and other mechanical stress factors.
Moreover, load capacities indicated in the present document are not valid for

earthquake hazard zones (structural design does not resist seismic forces). Inform
BITO in writing if your installation is to be set up in an earthquake hazard area and
request adaptation of structural design parameters to the seismic requirements of your
region.

Damaged or deformed racking components must immediately be replaced.
protection
BITO Shelving and racking is not suited for use in environments with exposure to
corrosion, splashing liquids, decomposition, vibrations, explosions, radiation.
It is not permitted to use loads or load carriers which due to their nature are subject to
oxidation, rust, decomposition or which might impair proper functioning of any kind of
mechanism.
Storing unpacked foods that are in direct contact with racking parts and components
is not permitted.
Incoming goods awaiting fi xture and fi tting into BITO storage facilities must be stored
indoors. Outdoor storage of such parts and components is not permitted.
A racking row has a minimum of 4 bays. Each racking bay has at least two beam levels.
End frames of a racking row must be at least 500 mm higher than the top beam level.
Walkways and vehicle traffi cways must be secured against falling loads.
The fi rst beam level on top of vehicle traffi cways must be bolted to the frames.
Aisles alongside single deep racking rows that are used by pedestrians or service
vehicles and that are not intended for loading and retrieving goods must be secured
against falling loads.
Back-to-back racking rows must be installed with a safety spacing of at least 100 mm
between the load carriers. If the minimum clearance between load carriers cannot be
maintained, push-through stops must be fi tted.
Racking corners and passageways must be secured by corner / upright protectors
with yellow-black signal striping, a minimum height of 400 mm and a shock absorbing
capacity of at least 400 Nm.
