Expo H Bracing Installation
H Brace is used instead of the standard Cross Brace on both
Expo 3 or Expo 4 bays to allow access from all sides. The
standard Cross Brace ‘obstructs’ the back of the bay so loading
is only possible from the front (and sides), while the H brace,
attached at the shelf level, allows access from both the front and
back (and sides) of the bay.
1.
Build the first Expo bay and also install all shelves at desired
heights as per the original Expo Assembly Instructions - excluding
the Cross Brace installation step. The bay should be supported
by another person or leaned against a wall while building it.
2.
Install first H Brace to the front of the bay at the height of the
second shelf from the bottom. Use the M6x15 nuts and bolts to fix
the H brace to the uprights - locate the right 2 holes on the H
Brace matching the holes on the uprights - depending on the
shelf height, they might be at a different position. One hole should
be above the shef level and the other below the shelf level.
3.
Intall the second H brace to the back of the bay, the same way
as the first one, but position it to the second shelf from top of the
bay.
If you are building a run of Expo bays, please refer to the bracing
diagram below. To see how to build a run of Expo bays, please
refer to the original Assembly Instructions that came with your
particular Expo system.
