Using the rack: 

Always load the rack from the bottom up.  

1.  Each arm pair (A-a; B-b; C-c in Step 4 above) can support 

no more than 400 lb

. Do not apply more than a total 

of 2,000 pounds to the rack. 

2.  Center all loads applied to arm pairs. 
3. Lock 

both

 swiveling casters whenever the rack is stationary. 

 
 

Inspections:

 

Before using the rack for the first time, create a written record that describes its appearance. Be sure to include 

observations about hardware used to attach the arms to the uprights, post brackets and hardware (see Step 2 on p. 
5), casters and brake operation (swiveling casters), and frame elements (base, posts, cross brace). After applying 
loads to the arms, record how the arms react. This written record establishes “normal condition”. When conducting 
future inspections compare your observations with the written record to determine whether the cart is in normal 
condition or requires repairs.

 

If issues are discovered during an inspection, restore the unit to normal condition before 

returning it to service.

 

Inspect and maintain the unit as described (below) to preserve normal operability. Remove it from service if it is 

damaged in any way that affects normal operation. If the unit cannot be restored to normal condition, permanently 
remove it from service.  

At least once per month inspect the following: 

1.  Casters and caster receivers: Inspect the receivers on the underside of the frame.  Make sure that each 

receiver is undamaged and securely holds its caster in place. Verify that the retaining hardware is securely 
fastened.  Casters should not be bent, cracked, or severely worn. 

2.  Base Frame: Examine the base for damage including deformation, corrosion, cracked welds, and severe 

wear. The deck should be square, rigid, and free of significant rusting. Remove rust with steel wool or a metal 
bristle brush, clean the areas to remove rust particles, and apply touchup paint to the affected areas. 

3.  Posts: Examine the posts and both post brackets. Confirm that the posts are straight and undamaged. 

Particularly inspect the areas where arms connect to the posts. Post Brackets should not be distorted (e.g. 
twisted or warped) and all hardware should be securely tightened. 

4.  Arms: Closely inspect the arms for cracks, cracked welds, bends, etc. Examine the post brackets particularly 

around bolt holes. Bolt holes should not be elongated or cracked. Verify that all hardware is in normal 
condition.  

5.  Labels: confirm that all labels are in good condition and in place as shown in the “Labeling Diagram” (p. 7). 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Install the arms by sliding the arm brackets around the posts at the desired levels. Then, install the retaining 
hardware through the brackets of each arm. Arms are held in place by resting bolts on top of bearing pins. Make sure 
that pairs of arms are located at the same level (A at same level as a; B with b; and C with c). Space arms evenly 
along the length of the uprights. 

NOTE

: There are 2 holes in each arm bracket. The locations of the bolt holes allow the arms to incline at either 2 

degrees or 7 degrees above horizontal. Determine the degree of inclination necessary for your application and 
then install bolts through the appropriate bolt holes. (See “Arm inclination” on p. 3.)
