where cabinet x and cabinet y are cabinets or equipment resting partially on the same floor panel.
Weight and Pressure Loads
Depending on the configuration, a storage system can weigh up to 2,000 lb (907 kg). Table 11
(page 20) provides maximum weights and pressure loads per leveling foot for storage system
cabinets. Use these values to approximate the structural support required by a storage system
cabinet.
