Home Improvement Asked on December 21, 2021
I got some IKEA Algot shelves tall uprights. The PDF manual can be found here.
The installation instructions say:
Hang the wall uprights from the mounting rail, correctly space them and then secure them to the wall. Use roundheaded screws with a 4–4.5 mm diameter (screw head max. 9 mm). You will need:
And these are the weight ratings per shelf:
40 cm (15¾″) width
60 cm (23⅝”) width
80 cm (31½”) width
I live in a block built with beams so inner walls are not structural. All internal walls are 10cm AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete aka aircrete or thermalite). How does one estimate the load capacity of a shelf and also multiple shelves put on 2 uprights or 2 sets of shelves put on 3 uprights? Is there a way to calculate an estimated weight support.
I’ll use AAC Wall Plugs (1st) or universal Fischer Duopower (2nd).
So we have:
Is there any way to factor this in and get some load capacity estimates? I want to put some books on some shelves and they’re not eBooks. 🙂
Here you go - Multiply the number of brackets by the safe load of the bracket to determine the safe load capacity for the entire shelf. For a shelf that has three brackets rated for 250 lbs. the safe load for the brackets is 62.5 lbs., and the capacity for the shelf, as a whole, would be 187.5 lbs. I was going to do the math but math.
