1. How wide are the materials/components that will be placed in the rack?
The length of the support tubes should roughly correspond to the width of the most frequently transported components/material, so that the user can still see the ends of the support tubes when the rack is full. These act as a guide for the user when placing components/material in the rack. Individual support tubes can be extended using extension tubes for the occasional storage/transport of larger material.
R660-2/0 with 16 storeys and extension tubes UR-29-0600 Larger material? No problem!
Larger boards/components – preferably placed in the lower storeys – can protrude beyond the end of the support tube by up to around 1/3 of their length. Parts that are deeper than the support tubes, e.g. frames, can be accommodated by using extension tubes (accessories). Please note that the maximum load per support tube is reduced in relation to the amount of protrusion (1/3 protrusion reduces the maximum load by 1/3).Width of the materials/components that will be placed in the rack:
| approx. 600 mm | Dabelju-B590-VV, B590, R660, C660, Q640 |
| approx. 800 mm | Dabelju-B780-VV, B780, C770, R770, Q740 |
| approx. 900 mm | R900, C900, Q880 |
| approx. 1100 mm | R1100, C1100, Q1080 |
| approx. 1400 mm | Q1380, custom-manufactured model with galvanised support tubes |
2. How thick are the materials/components that will be placed in the rack? (to calculate spacing)
Recommendation: Thickness of material + ca. 40 mm = compartment spacingWe recommend allowing a space of 40 mm between material in the rack and the next support tube so that material can be loaded into the rack easily and sufficient air can circulate for the material to dry.
Compartment spacing on JOWI Mobile Racks:
| 66 mm | B or R models: e.g. Dabelju-VV, B590, R660, R900 or R1100 with 16 storeys |
| 92 mm | C models: e.g. C770 with 12 storeys |
| 113 mm | R models: R660, R900 or R1100 with 11 storeys |
| 70 mm, 122 mm and 174 mm | The Quercus Mobile Rack |
| larger | all the Mobile Racks with less storeys than the standard model |

3. Do you need to store material of different lengths simultaneously on the one rack?
Do the different components in your consignments have similar lengths or are they completely different?Similar or different lengths?
Material of similar length:
| Components with similar lengths, less than 800 mm approx. (2 or more components per storey): | With a fixed frame, models -2/2; 2/4; … DABELJU-VV |
| Components with similar lengths, between 800 mm and 3000 mm approx. | Model -X DABELJU-VV, both sides used Quercus with a rack length between 800 mm and 2000 mm |
| Components with similar lengths, between 3000 mm and 5000 mm approx. | -XX -X3 With a fixed frame in the customised lengths 2060 mm, 2335 mm and 2995 mm or in intermediate lengths Quercus |
| Lengths exceeding 5000 mm | Quercus with a rack length up to 6000 mm or 2 B, C or R-series Mobile Racks connected together model (see rack length) |
Material of different length:
| Material of different lengths: | With a fixed frame, models -2/2; 2/4; ... DABELJU-VV Quercus |
How long does the rack need to be?
| up to approx. 1500 mm | -X models Frame construction racks Quercus |
| up to approx. 3000 mm | Models -XX and -X3 Fixed-frame models with a customised length (see below) Quercus |
| up to approx. 6000 mm | Quercus with a rack length up to 6000 mm or two Mobile Racks connected together (see below) |
Customised rack lengths
Mobile Racks with a series B, C or R frame are also available in lengths of 2060 mm, 2335 mm and 2995 mm upon request. Intermediate lengths or racks with a shorter length than 1510 mm can be custom-manufactured in intervals of 55 cm.
Connecting racks together
Our couplings can be used to connect two racks from the same series together. This creates additional rack length when needed and allows racks to be separated again afterwards. The standard connector length is 0.3 m. Custom-length connectors are available up to 1.5 m.How flexible does your JOWI rack need to be?
As flexible as our standard design? (Really flexible, indeed.) Or are you looking for greater flexibility? Our fixed-frame racks allow you to optimise the position of the i-shaped uprights. Simply reposition them into any of the pre-punched holes spaced 55 mm apart, or insert additional i-shaped uprights.5. How heavy are the materials/components that will be placed in the rack?
Please note: all load capacity information provided is based on an even distribution of the load with no impact loads.Weight of material/components:
| Load carried on: 2 support tubes | 3 support tubes | 4 support tubes | Model |
| approx. 30 kg max. | approx. 45 kg max. | approx. 60 kg max. | B590, R660, C770, R900 |
| approx. 40 kg max. | approx. 60 kg max. | approx. 80 kg max. | R660, C770, R900 |
| approx. 45 kg max. | approx. 65 kg max. | approx. 90 kg max. | R660, C770 |
| approx. 55 kg max. | approx. 80 kg max. | approx. 110 kg max. | R660, Q1380 |
| approx. 70 kg max. | approx. 105 kg max. | approx. 140 kg max. | Q1080 |
| approx. 82 kg max. | approx. 126 kg max. | approx. 168 kg max. | Q880 |
| approx. 100 kg max. | approx. 150 kg max. | approx. 200 kg max. | Q740 |
| approx. 120 kg max. | approx. 180 kg max. | approx. 240 kg max. | Q640 |
Spacers increase load capacity:
If only 2 support tubes per storey can be used, e.g. for double-sided varnished components on pins, the maximum load of each storey can be increased using spacers (price available upon request). This option is a particularly good solution for R and Quercus series racks because they have pre-punched holes for the addition of extra support tubes.Maximum rack load capacity:
| approx. 200 kg max. | B590, Dabelju-VV, R660, C770, R900 |
| approx. 300 kg max. | B590-X3, R660, C770, R900 |
| approx. 500 kg max. | R660, C770, R900 |
| approx. 750 kg max. | R660-X3, C770-X3, R900-X3 |
| more than 750 kg | Quercus |
To obtain a higher maximum load capacity for longer parts, two Mobile Racks from the same series can be connected together. In this instance, the maximum load of the connected racks equals the sum of the maximum load of each Mobile Rack.
