All racking systems need load notice boards (LNB) to clarify their weight capacity. If these notices aren’t displayed, there’s a risk of putting too much weight on the racking. All MHE operators need to know how to read a LNB sign and follow the specified weight limits.
A typical LNB is split into four parts:
- General safety instructions
- Specific information that is relevant to the particular installation
- Administrative information
- Supplier’s contact details

- There should also be a warning on these drawings that any changed from the specified design could compromise the safety of the racking structure.
- If the racking is meant to be set up in various configurations, there should be structural drawings for each of these setups included.
