1) What are CTK cases? Shelving is all 24" deep. Specs make it sound as though these cases may be 24" deep. If that's the case we wouldn't need center stops on the shelves. Do you know if they're 12" or 24" deep? Need at least 24” deep clearance.

2) Spec calls for 500 lb. minimum weight capacity per shelf. 300 lb. is much more standard. 500 lb is the minimum weight capacity needed per shelf

3) There's no mention of decking and track arrangement. Do you have any insight on track needing? Decking and ramp should be included and be slip resistant similar to resinDEK.

17) I have a few questions about the multiple drawer units A & B. The layout information states multiple drawer unit A to be 45” x 29” x 44” and unit B to be 60” x 29” x 44”. The written specifications state, “Multiple drawer units must be at least 45”W x 24”D x 44”H.” Will 48”W x

24”D x 44”H be acceptable for multiple drawer units A & B? Yes, those measurements are acceptable.

This deck/floor would provide a surface level with the top of the rails helping to prevent tripping while accessing the system. If a deck/floor is required should it have a non‐skid covering provided by the manufacturer? See #3.
