Since concrete floors vary in design and load carrying capacity, Constructor /
Dexion cannot guarantee that a particular concrete slab is adequate to support a
particular rack installation.The characteristics of the slab should be obtained from
the building architect before the racks are specified, so that the rack supplier can
design the rack to suit the slab.
Do not install racks outdoors, unless specifically designed by Constructor /
Dexion for this purpose. Outdoor usage requires consideration of wind loads, snow
loads, etc.., which are not normally considered in an indoor rack design.
Do not expose your storage rack to corrosive or abrasive substances or
abnormal dampness. This may cause deterioration of the surface paint and result
in in premature corrosion. Do not store rack products outdoors unprotected!
Be caution when mixing new and existing parts. Even components produced by
the same manufacturer can vary in design.
Do not mix parts from different manufacturers with Constructor / Dexion
components without review by a qualified engineer. Mixing parts may result in a
less rigid structure that can decrease rack capacity. Use of Constructor / Dexion
parts with parts from different manufacturers will also void any warranty from our
part.
Do not cut, weld or modify rack components. Do not allow any welding or cutting
of rack components without Constructor’s / Dexion’s written authorization. Such
modifications may decrease the load capability of the component and damage your
rack structure, thereby creating a safety hazard. Any modification of any component,
unless performed or authorized in writing by Constructor / Dexion, will void any
warranty from our part.
Installation of loading boards is strongly recommended. These boards should
identify the characteristics for which the rack was designed, such as load size, load
weight, and rack configuration. These boards are very useful for showing safe
loading information to both present and future users. Several signs should be
noticeable located for easy visibility, and to be permanently applied to the rack
structure.
Never climb on racks, during or after assembly. Storage racks are not designed
to be stepped on or climbed on. A slip or fall may result in serious injury. It is your
responsability to pass this important warning to all who come into the proximity of
your storage rack. This can be done by training and appropriate signage. If your
rack is used in a retail environment, high visibility warning signs are especially
helpful in preventing this misuse of a storage rack structure.
Allow adequate aisle spacing. Aisles which are too narrow, or are reduced in size
by obstructions (such as temporary floor stacking at rack row ends) can cause
serious injury.
Install good lighthing in every rack aisle. Good lighting improves handling
efficiency, prevents accidents, and reduces accidental damage to the rack structure.
