# Preparation for L230 / L235 Ceiling Version

## This article explains what to do before starting the installation of the ceiling 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 system and the scale

#### There are two options available for attaching the system to the ceiling.

- Mount to building
- Mount to existing warehouse equipment

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

### What is a good ceiling suspension?

- No swinging or swaying back and forth
- Does not rotate around its own axis, see diagramm below for suggestions
- Appropriate Height of approximately 3.6 to 4.0 meters
- Truss is parallel to the floor

### Dimensions of the System
