Questions about cantilever racks and accessories
It is not possible to combine the cantilever arms from the different models, e.g. KR3000 / KR6000.
A combination of different arm lengths e.g. 50 cm / 100 cm for the KR3000 is possible.
The cantilever arms must not project beyond the cantilever arm feet. In this example, the use of a shelf support at a depth of 100 cm is required.
Depending on the type of cantilever racking, our cantilever bays are available in painted and hot-dip galvanized versions (both versions for the KR3000/KR6000).
The individual cross and diagonal braces are mounted to the bracket of the shelf uprights with the corresponding hexagon bolts, hexagon nuts and washers.
Depending on the height of your shelves, the number of struts (cross and diagonal struts) varies.
You will find the appropriate number of braces in the article description and in the assembly instructions.
The axial dimension is the internal dimension between two shelf uprights. Depending on the cantilever type, we offer these fields in 120 cm (KR2500) and in 100 cm / 150 cm (KR3000 / KR6000).
We recommend the use of the rubber strip to protect your goods and your cantilevers.
These rubber strips are available for our cantilever arm models KR3000 / KR6000.
No assembly is necessary for the attachment of the rubber strips, as they are glued directly to the desired cantilever.
Depending on the cantilever racking type, the fields differ as follows:
KR2500: 120 cm fields incl. bracing
KR3000: 100 cm and 150 cm fields incl. bracing (also in hot-dip galvanized version)
KR6000: 100 cm and 150 cm fields incl. bracing (also in hot-dip galvanized version)
The scope of delivery includes the appropriate number of screws for cantilever racking assembly. The following screws are used for a cantilever racking system:
Bolt anchor, hexagonal bolts / nuts, washer, compensation wedge etc.
You have the possibility to adjust the height of the cantilever arms individually in a grid of 5 cm (only for the models KR3000 and KR6000).
The cantilever arm system KR2500 has firmly welded arms that cannot be adjusted in height.
Cantilever racking is ideal for the storage of long goods, e.g. wooden beams, steel profiles, pipes and much more. You can additionally equip the cantilever racking with wooden or grating floors, so that the storage of other stored goods is also possible.
Cantilever racking is always fixed by anchoring it to the ground.
A combination of the arms is only possible with the KR3000 (50 cm, 100 cm, 125 cm) and the KR6000 (75 cm, 150 cm), as the arms of the cantilever racks for light loads KR2500 are firmly welded to the rack upright.
A combination of KR3000 and KR6000 is excluded.
If you want to combine two arm lengths in your rack, the rack upright must be used in the greater depth for safety reasons, e.g. in 100 cm depth (KR3000) and in 150 cm depth (KR6000).
Here you can find an overview of our cantilever racks.
Of course we also offer shelves in individually adapted dimensions.

Questions about storage racks and accessories
We offer you our storage rack in the depths 40 cm, 60 cm, 80 cm, 100 cm and in 120 cm.
Here you will find an overview of the shelf stands in the different heights and depths: Storage rack individual parts & accessories
The individual levels can be hung or attached individually as required at a grid spacing of 5 cm in height.
The number of levels depends on the height / weight of your stored goods. A prerequisite is always the even distribution of the loads (shelf load: max. 500 kg, bay load 2000 kg - storage rack)
Fixing our racks to the wall is not permitted.
Pallet racks must be anchored to the floor according to DGUV 108-007, DIN EN 15512 & DIN EN 15635.
Storage racks must be fixed to the floor from a depth/height ratio greater than 5:1. Below this no anchoring is required.
Our spacers are used exclusively for the parallel positioning of our shelves.
The maximum weight that a rack can carry in total is called the bay load. However, the weight of the rack itself is not included (the storage rack has a bay load of 2000 kg).
The maximum weight on the individual shelf compartment / shelf is called shelf load (the storage shelving unit has a shelf load of max. 500 kg).
The sum of the shelf loads, however, must not exceed the field load. A prerequisite (for the weight specifications) is always the even distribution of the loads.
The pictures show field load and shelf load using the example of a storage rack.
Selbstverständlich bieten wir Ihnen auch Regale in individuell angepassten Maßen an.

Questions about pallet racks and accessories
The steel thickness of the cross beams for pallet racks is 1.5 mm.
The individual shelf upright profiles are assembled with the correct number of cross and diagonal braces, foot plates and the appropriate assembly material.
You can find a detailed description of a shelf upright assembly in our assembly instructions.
Here you will find our overview of the individual parts.
The steel thickness of our pallet racks PR4500 and PR9000 is
Steel S-355 JR (CRD - Coldrolled steel) 80 mm W x 70 mm D x 1.5 mm material thickness.
The steel thickness of our pallet rack PR15000 is
Steel S-355 JR (CRD - cold rolled steel), 100 mm W x 7 0 mm D x 2 mm material thickness.
We offer you the common heights from 200 cm to 750 cm in 50 cm steps. For individual heights, the shelf supports are cut to size on request or manufactured individually according to your requirements.
Fixing our racks to the wall is not permitted.
Pallet racks must be anchored to the floor in accordance with DGUV 108-007, DIN EN 15512 & DIN EN 15635.
Storage racks must be fixed to the floor from a depth/height ratio greater than 5:1. Below this no anchoring is required.
Our spacers are used exclusively for the parallel positioning of our shelves.
Our 3 pallet rack models PR4500, PR9000 & PR15000 differ mainly in the load capacity for light, medium & heavy loads. Here the material thickness and dimensions of e.g. the upright profile, cross beams and foot plates differ. The construction of the three models is identical and our accessories are compatible with each other.
The model designation refers to the maximum field load of the individual systems:
- Pallet rack PR4500 - Bay load (max.): 4500 kg / Shelf load (max.): 1500 kg
- Pallet rack PR9000 - Bay load (max.): 9000 kg / Shelf load (max.): 3000 kg
- Pallet rack PR15000 - Bay load (max.): 15000 kg / Shelf load (max.): 4500 kg
This corresponds to a maximum load per pallet of 500 / 1000 / 1500 kg.
The bay load is the total load capacity of a shelf bay / the load between two shelf uprights. The own weight does not count here.
The maximum weight on the individual shelf / shelf is called shelf load.
The sum of the shelf loads must not exceed the bay load.
The individual levels can be hung or attached individually as desired in a grid spacing of 5 cm.
Of course we also offer shelves in individually adapted dimensions.

Questions about room systems
PREFAB door panels can be mounted in both directions. You determine the desired opening direction and the side of the door handle when setting up the warehouse office.
The window panels cannot be tilted or opened completely.
Questions about shelving and accessories
Our shelf racks are a pure plug-in system. No screws and nuts are required for this. Only the base plates are fastened with screws.
Questions about lifting equipment and accessories
The HE1200/3 displays only one charge bar even at maximum battery charge. As the charge decreases, this bar moves to the left. The last two turn red. As soon as this range is reached, the device should be charged to avoid deep discharge.
Currently we do not have any products with initial lift (where the wheel arms of the forklift are lifted to increase the ground clearance during load pick-up and transport).
The following products have free lift (when the forks or the load can be lifted without increasing the height of the lift mast): HEF16/5.
Yes, the GSE15/5, GSE25/5 and GSE35/5 models all have electric side lift, which can be controlled from the operator's cab.
Side lift refers to the ability to adjust the forks of the forklift truck parallel to the operator's cab. This is especially useful when minor adjustments need to be made to the fork alignment to the pallet or the pallet is close to a wall. In this way the forks can be easily adjusted to the left or right without having to move the complete forklift. SolidHub forklifts are usually equipped with a side lift.
Yes, each of the SolidHub forklifts has a fork adjustment. This can be done manually.
Although the lead-acid battery and the lead-gel battery are particularly common in electric vehicles and transport equipment, lithium-ion technology offers many advantages. In addition to shorter charging times and higher energy density, it is also maintenance-free. Moreover, a Li-ion battery is more resistant to deep discharge, which can be crucial for outdoor use in particular.
The 60 % rule applies to fork extensions. This means that at least 60% of the fork extension must rest on the actual forks of the forklift truck. Before purchasing, check whether the forks of your forklift truck have the corresponding dimensions.
The term "open" or "closed" describes the nature of the underside of a fork extension. In the case of open fork extensions, there is no metal under the fork and therefore they do not enclose the forks of the forklift. This can cause the extensions to lever upward if care is not taken. Closed fork extensions are therefore safer by reducing the potential for accidents.
The fork extensions are secured with a pin, which is fixed behind the forks by a split pin. This prevents the forks from slipping down.
No. The tipping skip must be tipped back manually after successful emptying until the lever secures the container again.
No. The lever of the tipping skip only releases the mechanism. The container itself must be tipped by hand.
In Germany, companies can receive government subsidies when purchasing forklift trucks. These include investment subsidies and environmental or energy efficiency programs. The conditions and programs may change over time and should always be checked with the responsible states and authorities for the latest information. Subsidies can vary from country to country and from state to state, so it is advisable to obtain information directly from business development agencies or the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
Questions about cleaning equipment and accessories
After unpacking the machine, the connecting cable between the control unit and the motor must be connected at the rear.
