This is advisable to ensure maximum stability. Alternatively, this stiffness can be achieved by using sheet metal or mesh back panels. In the case of cross braces, these components will be installed on the shelving every few units. For example, if the maximum load a unit can support is 1,450 kg, cross braces will be placed on one in every 10 shelving units. If the maximum load is 3,650 kg, it will be installed on one in every four. Ultimately, the specific number of cross braces will depend on the number of shelving units, their height and the weight of the loads stored.
