Hi Joosep,

Ask the manufacturer what the load capacity is, then if possible get a sample and test it.  We buy bags of salt and load up shelves to test them.  We've had one model collapse under a load of salt matching the manufacturer's stated capacity.

Best,

Bill

Dear all,
I think some of you have been already had this situation before.
We are going to have a new shelves for our collection rooms and we would like to know what should be the load capasity for shelves. Our shelves sizes are 100x59cm.
Can somebody give me estimate load capasity for these ones?

Sincerely,
Joosep Sarapuu
