Distributed Load
(kg/m²) (lb/ft²)
Via floor panels 732 150
Via ball mats or roller tracks 488 100

The distributed load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on the area delimited by the
external contour of the contact points between the load and the floor.
PANELS
Each floor panel can sustain the following loads:
Local Load Point Load
(kg/0.093m²) (lb/1ft²) (kg/cm²) (lb/in²)
On the flat floor 906 2 000 6.6 94
On the sloped floor 906 2 000 6.6 94

The local load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on any floor panel area of 0.093 m²
(1.00 ft²) that will not lead to permanent deformations.
The point load limit is the maximum weight acceptable on any unit of surface of the floor panel
that will not lead to puncture of the panel.
