Concentrated loads at the center of a beam impose far higher stress than the rating implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes shelving need to be anchored?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTall or narrow units generally do. Anchoring is what prevents tip-over when a unit is loaded unevenly or when someone climbs it, and manufacturers specify it in the assembly instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I climb my storage racks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Racking is not designed or rated as a ladder or work platform, and climbing is a common source of both falls and rack damage. Use a proper ladder or order picker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between boltless and bolted shelving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoltless (rivet) shelving assembles faster and adjusts easily, suiting light and medium duty. Bolted structural shelving takes higher loads and abuse but is slower to reconfigure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should damaged racking be taken out of service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as an upright, beam or brace is bent, cracked, or has been struck. Deformation means the component no longer carries its rated load, and repair by straightening is not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do the specifications on this page come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are taken from the manufacturer's published listing.
