LOAD PLAQUE
It is the responsibility of the owner/end user of the shelving to display in one or more conspicuous locations a permanent plaque(s), such as at the ends of rows or
on top of access stairways. The plaque(s) shall show in clear legible print:
a) The maximum permissible uniformly distributed shelf load
b) The average shelf load, if applicable
c) The floor loading if shelving is a shelf-supported pick module
d) The maximum total load per bay
Example of a load capacity and compliance plaque for shelving
The above figure is not intended to limit the plaque details, but rather is presented as a possible example. It is the intent of the plaque to inform the storage
facilities manager of the safe shelving capacity and any plaque that transmits the required information is acceptable. The manager of the facility has the
responsibility to be cognizant of this load limit and to instruct all operating personnel to see that the permissible load is not exceeded.
Plaques should not be transferred to any reconfigured or relocated shelving without first verifying the applicability of the information on the plaque to the new
configuration or location by a qualified design professional.
