Leaving a gap of 100 mm, attach a long
diagonal bracing beam (C). Then screw
in the rest of the long diagonal bracing
beams in a zig-zag pattern, maintaining
the same distance between each beam.
The following diagram shows how
the finished frame should look.
Measurement criteria applied
The first joint (S) should be facing the
access aisle. The distance marked (T)
should measure between 100 and 700
mm. The distance marked (V) should
measure between 50 and 150 mm.
Next, attach a footplate (G) to the bottom
end of each of the uprights
(A). Each footplate is attached
using two M 8x15 bolts (I).
Fix one of the short diagonal bracing
beams (D) into the second interior hole
(H) of each upright (A) using two M 8x40
bolts. The orientation of the slots in the
upright must be as shown in the diagram,
making sure that the open face of each
diagonal is facing the same way.
Position the beams (B) on the upper
level, one at the front and one at
the back, connecting the two frames.
Next, add the lower levels.
Fix each beam with two safety
pins (J), so they are held in place,
flush to the upright (A).
Once all the beams
are in place, lift the
structure and place it
into its final position,
then put the shims
(levelling plates)
(K) underneath the
upright footplates.
Finally, fix the frame
to the floor with one
anchor bolt (F).

Attach the chipboard support bars (M)
if required by the shelving model. Then
insert the shelf (E), fitting it into place on
the beams (B) by applying light pressure.
Shelf Assembly
Bracing Assembly (Only for units with HM shelves)
Chipboard Shelves
The shelf is supported by the beams. Before
attaching the shelf, attach the clamp to
the underside of the board (see diagram),
tapping it into place using a mallet. Z-TAM
clamps (L) are used with shelves that are
longer than 1,825mm. Two clamps should
be fitted in the middle of each shelf.
Vertical bracing is attached to the holes in
the uprights on the back of the shelving with
two M 8x20 D603 (tallow-drop) bolts per
brace (R). The heads of the bolts should be on
the inside of the upright and the nuts facing
the outside to prevent them from turning.
Picking Panels
Assemble the metal PK shelves (N) in
the same way as in Chipboard Shelves,
attaching them so that the fastening tabs (P)
protrude on the outside of the beams (B).
HM Panels
If inserting a metal HM shelf, you must
first attach the four PK supports (Q): one
on each upright, all at the same height,
in the manner shown in the diagram.
After inserting the four supports, attach
the shelf by applying light pressure
to each corner until it is secure.

Note: Units with levels made from wood
or PK panels do not require bracing.
