b) Shelf load
The total load capacity per beam level or item of decking. The maximum shelf load is 300 kg per level.
c) Bay load
The total load capacity between two uprights. The maximum stationary bay load is 1500 kg, while the maximum mobile bay load is 500 kg.
Technical information
Floor anchoring with a base plate
- Drill holes with a diameter of 8 mm and a depth of 80 mm
- Blow out the holes
- Drive the bolt anchor into the drilled hole
- Tighten the nut securely using an open-ended spanner or similar tool
Centre-to-centre distances
The centre-to-centre distance describes the width of a rack bay and the distance between two uprights. We offer widths of 110 cm and 220 cm, which can be combined freely. Configure the kanban rack with the required bay lengths. Its modular construction also allows the storage rack to be extended at any time after installation.
Securing the beams
Position the preassembled uprights, hook the beams into the upright profiles at the required height on both sides, and insert the locking pins into the designated hole in each beam. The beams are positioned in a 50 mm grid.

Application example
Optimised small-parts storage in a kanban rack
Kanban racks are frequently used to store and distribute small parts. Their inclined levels are based on a storage-rack structure and provide clear advantages: warehouse staff can see stock levels immediately, loose items slide directly towards the front, and the available storage space is used efficiently.
The kanban-rack principle originates from the Japanese Kanban process-optimisation method, in which removed goods are replenished directly according to the pull principle. Items can be refilled from the rear and slide forwards automatically along the 20° inclined level. At the front, a secure round-tube retainer holds the goods in place so that they are always ready for removal from the same position. This also allows the items stored longest to be removed first without laborious re-sorting.
Very small components such as screws can be stored securely in open-fronted storage bins or clearly visible cartons. Compatible kanban-rack accessories and storage bins are available from TOPREGAL in different sizes to suit the goods, or in economical sets containing several folding open-fronted storage bins. A practical solution is also available for labelling goods, particularly on higher levels that are difficult to see directly: rewritable magnetic strips.
Whether the kanban rack is positioned as a single-sided unit against a wall or installed as a double-sided version in the centre of the warehouse, its simple modular design allows it to be extended at any time. For maximum flexibility, choose a mobile kanban rack or retrofit an existing unit later using a castor set. Contact us for advice on the appropriate conversion.
