Which floor classification does your facility has?

An industrial floor needs to have an appropriate flatness in order to provide a suitable surface for the operation of materials handling equipment (MHE), and an appropriate levelness to ensure that the building as a whole, with all its static equipment and MHE can function satisfactorily.

Floor flatness has a significant impact on the efficiency, performance and safety of materials handling equipment especially fork lift trucks.

Why Flatness is important –

1. Operations are more efficient if lift trucks operate at Maximum speed.
2. Poor surface regularity will cause excessive vibration on a lift truck and increase down time and maintenance.
3. Reduced damage to stock

Following are Permissible limits on Properties II and IV in free-movement areas -

Floor classification	Location and floor use	Maximum permissible limits
		Property II		Property IV
	Confidence limits	95%	100%	95%	100%
FM 1	Areas of free movement where very strict flatness & levelness may be required	2.5mm	4.0mm	4.5mm	7.0mm
FM 2	Wide aisle warehousing using reach trucks where potential rack or stacking height is greater than 8metres. Transfer aisles for VNA truck use and AGV areas	3.5mm	5.5mm	8.0mm	12mm
FM 3	Wide aisle warehousing using reach trucks where potential rack or stacking height is less than 8metres. Retail warehouses. Manufacturing facilities Note: End user equipment suppliers may require a higher classification	5.0mm	7.5mm	10mm	15mm
