Dexion HI280 - Frame Assembly Schedule

Issue: June 2005 Section E – Frame Assembly Schedule Page E.1
SECTION E – FRAME ASSEMBLY SCHEDULE
This section provides detailed dimensions of how the frames should be constructed, where to
position the horizontal battens, and the location of frame bracing node points.
The strength data that these racks will have been designed to is a result of extensive tests and
calculation and involves the correct positioning of battens, braces, and fixings. It is therefore most
important that these items are correctly positioned within the frame assembly.
The appropriate frame will be specified by the rack designer for each application.
The following schedules are included:
L/D = Light Duty, H/D = Heavy Duty

Solid Clad Frames - Variable Height Frames to 12,000mm E.36, 37, 38, 39
Upright Splices
Frames over 8000mm high need upright splices. These splices need to be carefully positioned to
ensure they do not coincide with either, a shelf, a batten, or bracing diagonal.
The rules for positioning these splices are contained within the design manual.
