# Preparation for L230 / L235 V-shape Version

## This article explains what to do before starting the installation of the V-shape version.

Read the article about [general preparations beforehand](https://docs.metrilus.de/en/general-preparations)

Metrilus does not provide recommendations, but rather examples. Metrilus does not conduct on-site inspections and is not familiar with the structural integrity of the warehouse.  
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the customer to choose the appropriate fixation after assessing the on-site conditions. Metrilus does not assume any liability for the proper installation of the fixation.

### How to position the v-shape and the scale

The system can be placed on any corner as needed.

### How the system is protected

#### Protection against unintentional movement of the system

It is of utmost importance to fix the V-shape system to the floor.

The customer (and contractor) are responsible to use a floor anchoring solution that takes all of the building information (from the architect, engineering bureau) and load bearing capacity into consideration.

See our article for [Floor Anchors.](http://docs.metrilus.de/en/floor-anchor)

#### Protection against forceful impacts

In addition to floor anchoring, it is recommended to have a ram protection for the system. The size of the ram protection should be based on the system's placement. For areas with heavy traffic, a larger and more durable protection is needed.

 

### Dimensions of the System
