Grades recommended here are not exact and should be used only to estimate your requirements. Above are intended for average conditions, using proper size rollers for materials handled. Additional grade may be required in some cases. Starting a package from rest on level lines requires a push of approximately 3% of the total load. For heavy loads a pitch of 1/8" per foot will reduce push required. The amount of drop required for 90° curves with 4'-0" inside radius is approximately the same as required per 10'-0" section.
