  2. Requests to use equivalent products of other manufacturers shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 25 13 – Product Substitution Procedures.

2.2PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

  1. Cantilever Metal Storage System: Design, fabricate, and install such that:
  2. Shelves are cantilevered without front supports, providing completely open, full width, useable shelves.
  3. Shelf lengths are provided to completely fit layout indicated on Drawings without voids, gaps, or wasted space.
  4. Shelves may be positioned at any height above base bracket.
  5. Systems with slots or holes that dictate shelf heights: Not acceptable.
  6. Storage system shall be expandable using additional modular components.
  7. Storage system can be dissembled and re-erected in different location or configuration.

Specifier Notes: Typical spacing of uprights and shelf length is 48 inches (1,219 mm). Bracket and load capacity is determined by shelf span and depth. For metal shelves, bracket length is the same as shelf depth. For wood shelves, brackets are 2 inches (51 mm) less than shelf depth. Refer to load tables in E-Z Shelving Systems, Inc. product literature and edit the following paragraph to reflect project requirements.

  1. Loading capacities for [48 inches] [1,219 mm] [_____] shelf span.
  2. Shelf Uniform Load:

1)[12 inches] [305 mm] deep shelf: [200 psf.] [976 kg/m2.]

2)[24 inches] [610 mm] deep shelf: [120 psf.] [586 kg/m2.]

3)[_____] [inches] [mm] deep shelf: [_____] [psf.] [kg/m2.]

  1. Shelf Concentrated Load: [450 lbs] [204 kg] [_____].

Specifier Notes: Single shelf brackets carry one half the shelf load. Double shelf brackets carry one half the shelf load of each adjoining shelf, which is equivalent to the load of one complete shelf. Hence, load capacities of double shelf brackets are one half the capacity of the corresponding single shelf bracket. Select recommended load capacities from E-Z Shelving Systems, Inc. product literature to edit the following paragraph to reflect project requirements.

  1. Loading Capacity for Single Shelf Bracket:

1)[12 inches] [305 mm] long bracket: [560 lbs.] [254 kg.]

2)[24 inches] [610 mm] long bracket: [395 lbs.] [179 kg.]

3)[_____] [inches] [mm] long bracket: [_____] [lbs.] [kg.]

  1. Loading Capacity for Double Shelf Bracket:

1)[12 inches] [305 mm] long bracket: [280 lbs.] [127 kg.]

2)[24 inches] [610 mm] long bracket: [198 lbs.] [90 kg.]

3)[_____] [inches] [mm] long bracket: [_____] [lbs.] [kg.]
