M3 Shelving for picking for light and medium loads

A basic manual storage and archive system for light and medium loads. Combining the different components offers a whole range of features. The main advantages are: - Endless storage possibilites from plain folders to all kinds of parts, boxes, clothes, bulk goods, etc. - Multiple components that adapt to suit even the most demanding needs. - Easy to assemble. - Level adjustments in multiples of 25 mm. - Increased capacity due to the fact that minimal space is used for uprights and shelf panels. - It is possible to install one or more walkways to gain access to upper levels. - Mobile shelving...

Frames Vertical elements created by two uprights joined together with cross ties, side panels or sets of cross ties and diagonals providing the necessary rigidity. The basic frame is made up of two uprights, cross ties and footplates. The number of cross ties depends basically on the height of the frame. The minimum number used is two. The most common frame heights are: 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 2,750, 3,000 and 4,000 mm. They can be manufactured up to 8,000 mm long. Painted uprights Uprights There are two types of uprights, depending on the load and the application, with either 6 or 12 folds. Both...

Frame cross ties The cross ties slid down inside the uprights until the fixing point is reached, making the set extremely rigid. At least two are fitted, depending on the height of the frame. The uprights can be manufactured in heights of up to 8 m. Frame unions These join two frames back to back to make double shelves. Upright splices These are used for units that are more than 8 m in height and whenever it is necessary to splice two uprights.

Frame options In addition to the basic frame construction system, the following can also be made: Frames with cross ties and diagonals These are basic frames which, in addition to cross ties, include crossed diagonals to increase the level of rigidity in frames of considerable height. Frames with central metal panelling These are closed frames that stop products stored on adjacent levels from getting mixed together. The metal panels are made in sections and joined together using panel splices. Frames with metal side panelling These are similar to frames with central panelling. They give an improved,...

Frames with metal meshing These prevent goods from falling off the side, as well as allowing a lateral view of the product and providing better ventilation.

Metal shelves These are the basic elements for creating load levels. They are made from a single piece of galvanised metal with several folds to ensure a large, uniform load capacity. The metal shelves are joined to the uprights using supports. The shape of these supports makes the joint between the shelves and the uprights more rigid, as the load weight increases. The most common metal shelf sizes are: Length: 750, 1,000, 1,250 and 1,400 mm Depth: 300, 400, 500 and 600 mm

Two different models are available, depending on the load capacity: - Shelves for light loads. - Shelves for medium and heavy loads. Light-duty shelf Heavy-duty shelf The various folds on the front and back of the heavy-duty shelves create a rounded edge, which increases the load capacity. These shelves can be supplied in the slotted option, allowing usage of vertical dividers and accessories. The channel on the front can be used to attach magnetic holders for identification labels. Shelf reinforcer Heavy-duty shelves can be fitted with a central reinforcer along their length to increase their...

Cross-bracing sets Cross-bracing sets are vital for the stability and longitudinal rigidity of the shelving. They are attached to the side slots at the back of the uprights to tighten and stabilise the unit. Front view Back view

Number of cross-braces The number of cross-braces used is variable, depending on the height, the number of shelving units and the stored loads. Just one cross-brace is placed in shelving units of up to 2,5 m in height (figure 1), and two are used for higher units (figure 2).

Highly versatile accessories and professional finishes Metallic back panels These are used to close in the rear of the shelving units, to stop items from falling out the back of a single unit or to stop products from mixing within double units. The panels are attached to the upright tabs that fit into the panel slots. Clips secure the tabs to the uprights and to the level supports. Panel splice Panel splices These are used to splice both the frame and back panelling. They are made of plastic and level out the heights of two adjoining panels.

Back reinforcers For single shelving units, back panel reinforcers are fitted to the rear. These are attached to the tabs of the back panels with reinforcement clips. In double units, the panels are fixed alternately to one side or the other of the shelving.

Mesh backing This has the same function as back panels. However, this accessory permits light and air to pass through the shelves. It is attached to the uprights using mesh fasteners. Plinths and shelf retainers This set performs two different functions: it acts as a plinth to stop objects from going under the units and it prevents products from falling off the front of the levels. It is attached to the shelf uprights using two fasteners, one on each side. Detail of mesh fastener Set with shelf retainer

Slotted shelf dividers These divide the space vertically, making smaller compartments in levels comprised of metal shelves. They attach to the slots on the shelves, and can be installed in two ways: - Attached to the upper and lower shelves, dividing the whole height of the shelf. - Only attached to the lower shelf. They are available in different heights and depths. Detail of attachment to lower shelf, only used with 100 mm high dividers. Detail of attachment to upper and lower shelf.
