General requirements
Storage facilities and equipment must be designed, operated and tested in accordance with this BG rule and the generally recognized rules of technology. Deviations are permissible if the same level of security is guaranteed in another way.

Reference is made in particular to the legal provisions and technical rules listed in Appendix 3 to be observed for the scope of this BG rule.
4. Construction and equipment
4.1 Common provisions
4.1.1 Execution
Storage facilities and equipment must be designed and set up in such a way that, when used as intended, they can safely take up the load of the stored goods. Their stability and load-bearing safety must meet the operational demands and be proven by arithmetical proof of the load-bearing capacity for the load-bearing elements or by load tests.
4.1 Common provisions
4.1.1 Execution
Storage facilities and equipment must be designed and set up in such a way that, when used as intended, they can safely take up the load of the stored goods. Their stability and load-bearing safety must meet the operational demands and be proven by arithmetical proof of the load-bearing capacity for the load-bearing elements or by load tests.
4.1.2 Static requirements
4.1.2.1 Security against breakage
In load tests on storage facilities and equipment, the security against breakage must be at least twice the intended load (sum of the permissible payloads sum of the dead weights). If there are only two similar attempts, the smaller of the two values is to be assumed.
4.1.2.2 Rigidity
The stability and stability of storage facilities and equipment must include sufficient rigidity in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
4.1.2.3 Deflection
The maximum deflection of the load-bearing elements of storage facilities when introducing the permissible payload may be a maximum of 1/200 for metallic materials and a maximum of 1/150 of their span for all other materials. The long-term resistance value is to be used as a basis for all materials.
The span is the distance between two adjacent supports.
See also Appendix 2, Figure 1.
4.1.2.4 Horizontal forces
In addition to the determinable horizontal forces, when determining the stability and load-bearing safety of storage facilities and equipment, additional horizontal forces must be applied in the respective load level, both in the longitudinal and in the depth direction, but not acting simultaneously. The additional horizontal forces to be applied are at least:
1. For storage facilities that are loaded or unloaded by hand,
H = 1/200 of the weight of the permissible compartment load and
Hz = 50 N as a single force at the most unfavorable point.
If the height-to-depth ratio specified in Section 4.2.1 is exceeded, proof of stability must also be provided for the unloaded state.
2. For storage facilities that are loaded or unloaded with conveyors,
H = 1/200 of the weight of the permissible compartment load and
Hz = 350 N as a single force at the most unfavorable point.
Proof of stability must also be provided for the unloaded state.
3. For storage devices in the stack,
H = 1/50 of the weight of the load of the stacking units on their respective support surfaces and
Hz = 150 N as a single force at the level of the uppermost contact area.
Proof of stability must also be provided for the unloaded state.
Consideration of horizontal forces as additional loads is permissible. See also Section 5.2 and Table 7 "Classification of loads" DIN 18 800-1 "Steel structures; dimensioning and construction".
Determinable horizontal forces are z. B. Wind forces in the open air or horizontally acting inertia forces of movable shelves and cabinets.
For storage facilities that are loaded or unloaded by hand, see Appendix 2, Figures 2a and 2b.
For storage facilities that are loaded or unloaded with conveyors, see Appendix 2, Figures 3a and 3b.
For stacked storage devices, see Appendix 1, Figures 1 and 2.
4.1.2.5 Stability factor
The stability factor against tipping over of storage facilities and devices must be at least 2.0.
See also Appendix 1 (explanations and examples) and Appendix 2, Figures 2a to 3b.
4.1.2.6 Installation areas
The installation areas for storage facilities and equipment must be designed in such a way that the dead weights and permissible payloads can be safely absorbed.
4.1.2.7 Loads from the building
Storage facilities that are a structural and structural component of a building must also comply with the provisions of the respective state building law.
A fixed floor connection does not make the storage facility part of the building.
4.1.3 Exterior design
Components of storage facilities and equipment - especially their corners and edges - must be shaped or machined in such a way that injuries are avoided.
For metal floors this can be, for. B. can be achieved by flanging or bending the edges.
See also DIN 15 147 "Flat pallets made of wood; Quality conditions".
4.1.4 Traffic routes, corridors
4.1.4.1 Storage facilities and equipment must be constructed and set up in such a way that there are adequately dimensioned aisles.
4.1.4.2 Traffic routes for pedestrians between storage facilities must be at least 1.25 m wide.
4.1.4.3 Traffic routes for pedestrians between storage devices must be at least 1.25 m wide.
4.1.4.4 Aisles that are only intended for manual loading and unloading (side aisles) must be at least 0.75 m wide.
See Appendix 2 Figure 5.
4.1.4.5 Traffic routes for powered or lane-bound conveyors must be wide enough to ensure a safety distance of at least 0.5 m on both sides of the conveyors. When dimensioning, the space required for maneuvering must also be taken into account. The safety distance can be dispensed with if access by people is prevented by structural measures.
If no structural measures have been taken, the safety distance may only be fallen below if the special provisions for the operation of industrial trucks in narrow aisles (see §§ 28 to 36 of the accident prevention regulation "industrial trucks" [BGV D27]) are observed.
The safety distance of 0.5 m on both sides is intended to protect people who are in the area of the traffic route with power-operated or rail-bound conveyors at the same time.
For drive-in racks see section 4.3.3.
