When full containers go onto racking, two separate limits come into play: the rack's carrying limit per bay and upright, and the container's own carrying capacity. They live in different documents, and which one is exceeded first only shows once they are put side by side.
| Limit | Where it is written |
|---|---|
| Load per bay | the rack's load notice |
| Load per upright | the racking design |
| Load inside the container | GEBHARDT model table: Isotec TBX 500 kg in 410-795 litres, 700 kg in 900-1500 litres |
| Load on the lid | model information, requested from Aris Makina |
The rack's bay limit applies to the loaded weight including the container's empty weight, not to the payload alone. The lid is not treated as load bearing: no product goes on it, and if one container is to stand on another, the permitted stacking load is taken for the model and the load on the lower lid is calculated separately.
The base must sit fully on the bay, not bridge between two edges; heavy containers go on lower bays and light ones above. An empty container weighs less, but height and balance set its limit. Do not load a rack with a faded notice on guesswork, go back to the racking design; when the container or the rack changes, work out the limits again.
