How to calculate the maximum load rate of the front shelf

Shelf load capacity depends on material, thickness, span between supports, and mounting method. Distributed Load Formula: Max Load (kg) = (Material Strength × Thickness³ × Width) / (Support Span² × Safety Factor)Calculate shelf load capacity, deflection, and bracket spacing from material strength, dimensions, load, and sag limit for shelves. Enter any 4 values to calculate the 5th. Switch between design and check modes, then download tidy reports as needed. Choose units first; conversions run automatically. This uses the simply-supported beam formula for a uniformly distributed load. [pdf]
