Strength and Loading Tests
‘Tebrax’ tests indicate that standard 25mm wide brackets will carry up to 90kg, and slim brackets 15mm wide will carry up to 22kg.
Distributed weight per pair of brackets in both cases including a margin for shock loading i.e. for weights dropped from a height .
Strength figures are meaningless unless they are related to systematic testing to destruction by a recognised authority. (The reason why the original ‘Tebrax’ tests were done by the Government’s National Physical Laboratory.) Much then depends on any allowance given for the effects of shock loading.You can do your own destruction test of any bracket system for comparison purposes. Choose a one metre wide shelf which is strong enough not to bend. screwing it to two brackets. Apply distributed weight to the shelf until a shelving component fails. Then decide what percentage of the failure load represents a reasonable safe working maximum distributed load. (Commercial loading tests are commonly done with girders as shelves and lead shot as the load.)
Do not forget to test your shelving materials! Shelves which sag or break are to be avoided.
Your loading tests will reveal the suitability of your chosen shelving material at specific bracket (and therefore upright centre to centre spacings) spacings. The economic cost of a shelving installation is based on the compromise of the specification of the shelving material used versus the number of brackets required for a safe loading capacity.
Weaker shelves or heavier loadings will require more brackets/uprights. Optimise your shelving costs to your advantage by testing your shelving materials before specifying your bracket requirements.
