How To Choose Upright Frames:
1. Compute total frame capacity needed to satisfy your load requirements.
2. Determine height required from floor to first beam or maximum beam spacing. If the figures are different, use the larger dimension.
3. Refer to bottom of upright capacity chart below. Reading left-to-right, locate dimension from floor to first beam or maximum beam spacing. From the beam spicing dimension, move vertically up the chart to weight capacity required for your maximum load. Moving to the right, locate the first upright capacity curve that intersects your required weight capacity. Follow curve down and across to determine correct upright post type.
4. Refer to appropriate ordering information for dimension information, and select from the available sizes.
