This page is designed to give you a detailed view of a workstation. Please look at the  load chart below to ascertain suitability for your needs. This chart was put in place for people who need workstations for light production work.

Note:-

Never exceed the loads in this chart. While a workstation can easily withstand human weight never drag a workstation into place. All loads are calculated in a stationary position with downward force.

Standard frame loads, lengths          Kgs/ft Standard frame loads, uprights.        Kgs/ft
600mm                                                           275 600mm                                                           885

Overall Height.          Length of upright between joints.                     Maximum loads Kgs.         
1000mm                           1000mm,     (Top and base shelf)                                                   270
1000mm                           500mm        (Top, base and intermediate shelf)                               380
1500mm                           1500mm      (Top and base shelf)                                                   180
2000mm                           2000mm      (Top and base shelf)                                                   155
2000mm                           500mm        (Top, base and 3 intermediate shelves)                       1000
2000mm                           1000mm      (Top, base and intermediate shelf)                               250
2000mm                           1500mm      (Top, base and intermediate shelf)                               135

Note: Stability load tests were made according to the (SEMA) code of practice. Steel tube uprights were used supporting chipboard shelves, 1000mm long x 450 deep using shelf clips.
