SECTION A – PRODUCT INTRODUCTION BASIC SYSTEM The Dexion HI280 shelving system is a heavy duty, versatile product available in a wide choice of sizes to enable individual solutions to be tailored to client requirements. It is quick and easy to assemble with the main components simply hooking and locking together to provide a strong rigid structure.
PARAMETERS OF THE SYSTEM The Dexion HI280 product has been designed to operate within the following standard parameters. Consult product support if considering applications outside of this range. Hand Loaded HI280 is a hand loaded shelving system, which is NOT suitable for loading by fork lift truck.
RACK DIMENSIONS Frame Width ‘W’ Frame widths are expressed by their nominal dimension, i.e. either 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, 800 or 1000mm. Rack Width ‘W+’ The actual rack dimensions are slightly greater than the frame dimensions: Single entry racks = nominal frame dimension + 6mm. Double entry racks = nominal combined frame dimension + 12mm.
SECTION B – CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES This is a guide to the considerations that must be taken into account when installing Dexion HI280 shelving. Whilst it is important to install the shelving accurately and in an efficient manner, it is of greater importance to achieve this in a safe environment.
Typical Construction Considerations First Aid and Emergency Procedures Provision of a suitably equipped first aid box, with a proficient approved First Aider. Awareness of clients fire alarm and evacuation routes and procedures. Risk Assessments In preparing these associated risks can be highlighted, and the necessary steps taken to reduce the risks to acceptable levels.
Page 10
Measuring and Marking Out Site This should be undertaken at the beginning of each phase of the erection, using datums provided on the installation layout. Checks should be made at this early stage to ensure the shelving fits the building. Use a chalk line to mark out the site.

Frame Sub-Assembly A jig frame is assembled in accordance with the “Frame Assembly Schedule”. All the fixings are made and the jig frame is checked for squareness. This frame is then laid on a flat bed made up from convenient materials, usually stacks of wooden pallets, at a comfortable working height. This frame then forms a template on which all subsequent frames are assembled.
When swaged connections are being used it is important to use the correct type of tool corresponding with the type of upright (i.e. use the ‘K’ tool for the ‘K’ upright, and the ‘EK’ for the ‘EK’ upright). If the resultant hole through the swage measures less than 9.5mm diameter, the tool is worn and needs replacing.
SECTION C - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The following pages give the assembly instructions and techniques for the HI280 shelving components and accessories. Each page deals with a separate component or aspect of the build. Where appropriate reference should be made to the separate schedule pages for the number of components required and their positioning, i.e.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – IMPORTANT CHECKS Swage Tool Check the condition of the swage tool for wear. If the resultant hole through the swage measures less than 9.5mm diameter, the tool is worn and should be replaced. Ensure the correct tool is being used, use the ‘K’ tool for the ‘K’ upright and the ‘EK’ tool for the ‘EK’...
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – BATTENED / BRACED FRAMES Note: Frame battens and braces must be positioned in accordance with the dimensions contained within the ‘frame assembly schedule’. To assist assembly we recommend the use of an assembly jig and work bench. When using swage connections ensure the swage tool corresponds to the type of upright, i.e.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – CLAD FRAMES Note: To assist assembly we recommend the use of an assembly jig and work bench. When using swage connections ensure the swage tool corresponds to the type of upright, i.e. the ‘K’ tool for the ‘K’ upright and the ‘EK’ tool for the ‘EK’ upright. Insert the long edge of the cladding sheet into the open U-shaped part of the upright (1), and align the oval holes in both sheet and upright.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – MESH FRAME CLADDING Note: Mesh can only be fitted to a frame that is already either battened or battened and braced. Mesh does not replace these items. When using swage connections ensure the swage tool corresponds to the type of upright, i.e.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – BASE PLINTH Note: Before assembling, check that the hooks on both the upright and base plinth are not damaged. The base plinth (which has 3 hooks at either end) is positioned between the front uprights at a height of 75mm. The back of the bottom shelf is supported as normal with a shelf beam.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – SHELF BEAM or MEDIUM SPAN BEAM Note: Before assembling, check that the hooks on both the upright and beams are not damaged. Use the oval and round holes in the upright as a visual guide for aligning the shelves. The height to the top of the beam, corresponds to the desired shelf height.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – SHORT SPAN SHELF Note: Before assembling, check that the hooks on both the upright and shelves are not damaged. Ensure the bay is square before attempting to install the shelves. Place the back of the shelf on top of the rear support beam (1)(2). After step (2) the shelf should be horizontal.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – SHORT SPAN SHELF REINFORCEMENT Note: Shelf reinforcement is an option that can be used to increase the strength of a shelf. The number of reinforcement bars (none, one, or two) will depend on the required loading. The reinforcement is fitted before the shelf is installed. Assemble the shelf beam at the required height between the rear uprights.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – MEDIUM SPAN SHELVES Note: Before assembling, check that the hooks on the rear of the beams are not damaged. Install the beams as previously described, and ensure the bay is square before attempting to install the shelves. Chipboard shelves.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – ASSEMBLING A DOUBLE ENTRY RACK Note: A double entry rack is when two single rows of shelving are placed back to back. Racks up to 3000mm high. Connect the back uprights together at the top, and at the bottom using M6x20mm long fixings through the holes in the face of the uprights.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – FIXING DOWN A RACK Note: All racks that are fitted with either drawer or tray sets MUST be fixed to the floor. Racks that have a height to the top loaded shelf greater than 5 times the frame width MUST be fixed to the floor.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – SOLID BACK CLADDING Note: There are two forms of solid back cladding, either using half width sheets (as shown above), or using a number of full width sheets within the height. Both use the same method of cladding clip to fix the cladding to the uprights. The clips pass through the punched rectangular hooks along the edges of the cladding sheet.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – MESH BACK CLADDING Note: The clip used for attaching mesh back cladding is the same as that used for the solid sheet cladding. Place the mesh sheet between the rear uprights. Hook the clips around the wire, and press the clip into upright as shown above. Each panel is secured with 8 clips, 4 either side.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – ACCESSORIES Tube rail Can be used singularly, or as a pair. First hook a tube rail support to each frame at the desired height, then hook the tube rails over these supports Bay divider Hook the divider bracket over the rear beam. For safety ensure the divider arm is fitted with its plastic protective end plug.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – DECORATIVE END FRAME CLADDING Note: This type of frame cladding is only fitted to the end frames of each rack. The panel is slid in from the top, taking care not to damage the decorative finish. Issue: June 2005 Section C –Assembly Instructions Page C.16...
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – BENCH TOP and TOOL PANEL Revised illustration Note: The bench top and tool panel kit is designed to fit within a 1500 x 500mm bay. Assemble the components in numeric order as they appear above. Position the beams (1) to give a comfortable working height for the bench top (3). The bench top locks (2) should be positioned as close to the rear corners as possible and each secured with a 4.8x7 SST rivet into either of the holes in the upright web.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – DRAWERS and TRAYS Note: All racks fitted with either drawers or trays MUST be securely fixed to the floor to eliminate the risk of overturning. The expansion slides, and slide holders both come in left and right hand options. Assemble 4 expansion slide holders (1)(2), making sure they are securely fixed to the upright with a M5x16mm long nut and bolt through the web of the upright.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – DOOR SETS Position the top and bottom pieces by sliding them over the front edge of the respective top and bottom shelves. The angle bracket on the front face of each piece is always positioned to the right hand side. Secure each piece with two black expanding fixings.
