Load Span Tables for
Shelving, Bins, Furniture, etc.
Maximum allowable loads are psf.
Uniform loading is assumed. Loads are given for dry
conditions. For wet conditions, the allowable loads should be
reduced approximately 25%. Contact Olympic Panel for precise data.
Basic allowable stresses (bending Fb and shear
Fs ) have been increased 15% for shelving use per
the APA recommended experience factor. Pallet design normally
is based on higher allowable loads than given. Contact the APA
for precise data. Standard construction for Crezon MDO is 3/4"
5-ply or 7-ply.
