Instructions Safety Rules for the mounting and handling of META
shelves
Safety Rules for the mounting and handling of META shelves
Please read the information presented in this guideline
thoroughly before you start mounting your META shelves.
Please follow in the course of mounting and during the uti-
lization of the shelves exactly the advice given in these
guide-lines and follow the instructions in our order docu-
ments as well as the advice given by our technical experts.
The shelf components supplied by META are allowed to be
utilized only in the framework of the technical purpose inten-
ded. META does not accept any warranty for improper hand-
ling, utilization or mounting.
All details in these instructions do not apply to outdoor racks
or racks that are additionally subject to stress by wind, snow,
earthquakes or other additional loads. In such cases, indivi-
dual dimensioning by the manufacturer is essential.
It is possible that the conditions for the utilization of the shel-
ves are changed, when they are placed at a different locati-
on, when they are altered in their construction or when they
are newly erected.
In case the construction of the shelves is altered or when dif-
ficulties are encountered during erection, you are strongly
advised to ask for META experts to assist you.
Mounting and erection work is allowed to be carried out only
when the shelves are empty, according to our Mounting and
Handling Instruction Sheets attached.
The shelves are permitted to be loaded only after the moun-
ting work has completely been completed.
For the mounting of the shelves, a minimum of two persons
is required. Very useful in this connection is a table with a
height up to the hips, or two free standing horses, on which
the individual components can be placed for the preliminary
mounting.
When joining the various components, it is not allowed to use
great force to forcibly insert by means of a metal hammer or
by using a lever. On principle, use only a rubber hammer or
a soft wooden intermediary layer.
Independent of the ration of height and depth, all shelves
must be fastened by dowels.
We, as the manufacturers of shelf constructions, have sub-
mitted and dedicated ourselves to the Quality and Testing
Regulations RAL-RG 614, recognized by the RAL Institute, in
order to prevent injuries of persons and material damage.
In the course of planning shelf installations, the "Guidelines
for Storage Installations and devices BGR 234" of the Main
Association of the industrial trade organizations, status
10/88, as well as the relevant regulations governing the pre-
vailing conditions at the workplace are binding, and the
general regulations for the prevention of accidents must be
adhered to.
Stand 27.04.2006
META states the maximum supporting loads and the pressu-
res allowed to be exerted on the surfaces of the areas at the
ground. The customer and user must ensure that the bearing
capacity of the ground at the place of mounting can safely
withstand these loads. Unless specific details are made to
the contrary, META assumes that the minimum permissible
floor pressure is 50 kg/ cm².
The minimum width for traffic aisles in shelf constructions is
1.25 m, the minimum width of sub-aisles is 0.75 m. The mini-
mum safety distance between the means of transportation
and the shelves must be 0.50 m on either side.
The maximum possible shelf and field loads as stated are not
allowed to be exceeded.
When mounting the frames for HIGH-CLIP you must make
sure that the screws are not excessively tightened. Initially,
the screws preliminarily mounted hand-tight, afterwards they
are re-tightened by means of a spanner by one or two rotati-
ons.
Shelves with a shelf load of more than 200 kg or a field load
of more than L000 kg must be equipped with a name plate.
The necessary details on this name plate are as follows:
Manufacturer, year of construction or number of commissio-
ning, admissible shelf and field loads. The name plate sup-
plied must be attached at a conspicuous place of the con-
struction.
In the case of corrosive active industrial floors (e.g. magne-
site floors), an insulation of the support base areas must be
provided for. The instructions for use, issued by the floor
manufacturers, must be strictly observed.
Shelf constructions are allowed to be loaded only in strict
compliance with the purpose intended on the basis of the
details specified. Loading of the shelves should be carried
out in a uniform manner, because the static design is based
on assumption that the area loading will be effected uniform-
ly. Impact loads on certain points only and sliding loads must,
on principle, be avoided.
Persons are not allowed to stand or walk on the shelf frames
and shelf boards.
Bearing components that are damaged or deformed out of
shape must be replaced without delay because the nominal
load capacity is warranted by META on the condition that the
complete construction is in perfect shape.
Food is not allowed to be placed directly on galvanized shel-
ves or panels.
For the maximum permissible deviations from levelness con-
ditions at the place of mounting, see DIN 18802, Table 3, line
3.
