Borroughs Box Edge Plus shelving weight capacities were derived using the standards set forth by American National Standards Institute ANSI-MH28.1-1997 and Shelving Manufacturers Association (SMA) Specification for the Design, Testing, Utilization, and Application of Industrial Grade Steel Shelving publication.
Disclaimer – The capacities listed are for uniformly loaded shelves. They were determined using testing procedures that conform to the standards of the Shelving Manufacturers Association. Shelves were tested for both capacity and acceptable deflection.
