​
Before You Begin:
-
Verify that you have received all the necessary components as listed in your order. If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact United Racking immediately for assistance.
-
Ensure you have the required tools and equipment for the installation, including but not limited to a rubber mallet, measuring tape, level, and appropriate safety gear.
-
Choose a suitable location for your shelving system. Ensure the surface is level, sturdy, and free from any obstacles that may hinder the installation process.
Safety Precautions:
-
Assemble the shelving system with at least two people to ensure safety and facilitate the installation process.
-
Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, throughout the installation.
-
Avoid overloading the shelves beyond their specified weight capacity. Refer to the load capacity information provided by United Racking.
Installation Steps:
​
Step 1: Positioning the Upright Frames
-
Carefully position the upright frames at the desired location for your shelving system.
-
Ensure the frames are aligned parallel to each other and have the appropriate spacing.
​
Step 2: Installing Shelf Beams
-
Starting at the lowest position, insert the first shelf beam into the corresponding slots on both upright frames.
-
Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the beam near the joint, securing it in place.
-
Repeat this process for each shelf beam, ensuring equal spacing between them.
​
Step 3: Adding Beam Locking Pins
-
Install a beam locking pin into each end of every shelf beam used. This ensures the beams remain securely in place.
-
Insert the locking pins into the designated holes on the beams and secure them firmly.
​
Step 4: Installing Decking Material
-
Depending on your specific shelving system, add the appropriate decking material onto the beams.
-
For particleboard decks, place them onto the top inner lip of each pair of beams.
-
If using wire decks or galvanized shelves, position them similarly.
​
Step 5: Leveling and Alignment
-
Use a level to ensure the shelving system is straight and level. If levelling plates are required contact your local United Racking branch)
-
Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the system is plumb and level
​
Step 6: Optional Floor Fixings
-
For added stability, you may choose to secure the upright frames to the floor using appropriate floor fixings.
-
Use expansion bolts for concrete surfaces or screws for wood surfaces.
-
Floor fixings are optional accessories and not supplied as standard.
​
Step 7: Load Rating Stickers
-
If you have purchased load rating stickers you can now stick them on the beams in a visible location.
-
These stickers display important load capacity information for each level.
