Safety Features in Detail
1. Massive Shelf Loadings
The standard Hydestor Shelf Loading of 70kg for a 250mm deep shelf exceeds the Australian Standard of 50kg.
2. High Tensile Steel
Allows for shelf deflection; Hydestor shelves may deflect slightly under a heavy load but will return to normal when the load is reduced. Sheet steel shelves will deflect permanently.
3. Collapse Factor
Hydestor shelving also have a 2:1 collapse factor, that is, shelves will not collapse unless overloaded with twice the rated safe load – for a 250mm deep shelf with a safe loading rate of 70kg the collapse rating is 140kg.
4. Back Braces
Hydestor back braces come with a unique safety locking device which prevents dislodgement (a feature not included in all shelving systems) and ensures the shelving is incredibly sturdy and safe.
5. Seismic Bracing
As an additional safety feature we will install seismic bracing (diagonal rods and turnbuckles) where posts exceed 1.875m high and on all Rollaway shelving. This stiffens the units, protecting them from lateral movements.
6. Smooth Edged Shelves
Shelves have a rolled front and back edge to increase strength and stability and to prevent cuts caused by sharp edges.
