Lockers & Personal Storage — Expert Answer

How much do locker banks weigh and how does that affect floor loading?

An empty double-tier steel locker column (12" wide × 15" deep × 72" tall) typically weighs 60–90 lbs. Loaded with personal items (assuming 10 lbs per compartment average), a two-compartment column weighs about 80–110 lbs total. A 20-column bank weighs approximately 1,600–2,200 lbs empty. Distributed across a 20 ft run × 15" depth footprint (25 sq ft), this equals roughly 65–90 lbs/sq ft — well within the standard commercial office floor loading capacity of 50 psf live load per IBC (typical office buildings are designed for 50–100 psf). Concentrated loading at individual column footprints is rarely a concern. For extremely large installations (100+ columns) on upper floors, consult a structural engineer to confirm floor capacity.
