Load classes

The EN 1433:2008 standard defines the appropriate load class based on the location where the channel is to be installed.

Installation groups

  • Minimum class A 15, breaking load > 15kN
  • Minimum class B 125, breaking load > 125kN
  • Minimum class C 250, breaking load > 250kN
  • Minimum class D 400, breaking load > 400kN
  • Minimum class E 600, breaking load > 600kN
  • Class F 900, breaking load > 900kN

The responsibility for selecting the appropriate load class lies with the designer. In case of any doubt, a higher load class should be selected.
