Leaving a gap of 100 mm, attach a long
diagonal bracing beam (C). Then screw
in the rest of the long diagonal bracing
beams in a zig-zag pattern, maintaining
the same distance between each beam.
The following diagram shows how
the finished frame should look.
Measurement criteria applied
The first joint (S) should be facing the
access aisle. The distance marked (T)
should measure between 100 and 700
mm. The distance marked (V) should
measure between 50 and 150 mm.
Next, attach a footplate (G) to the bottom
end of each of the uprights
(A). Each footplate is attached
using two M 8x15 bolts (I).
Fix one of the short diagonal bracing
beams (D) into the second interior hole
(H) of each upright (A) using two M 8x40
bolts. The orientation of the slots in the
upright must be as shown in the diagram,
making sure that the open face of each
diagonal is facing the same way.
Position the beams (B) on the upper
level, one at the front and one at
the back, connecting the two frames.
Next, add the lower levels.
Fix each beam with two safety
pins (J), so they are held in place,
flush to the upright (A).
Once all the beams
are in place, lift the
structure and place it
into its final position,
then put the shims
(levelling plates)
(K) underneath the
upright footplates.
Finally, fix the frame
to the floor with one
anchor bolt (F).
