Load-bearing capacity of BBA260
BBA260 holds 0.98 m³ by calculation and carries 1,500 kg at safety factor 5:1. This gives a mean density of 1,538 kg/m³ at full utilisation of volume and load capacity: material that is heavier does not fill the bag to the brim, and lighter material does not reach the load capacity. For sheets and profiles the weight of the parts counts, not a bulk density. Add up the weight of the parts and compare it with 1,500 kg before you fill BBA260.
