Single- or multiple-separate beams are further defined by the ISO EN standards. Table 7 shows the practical heights of multiple beams. The US CAN approach takes this into account by the reach-through requirements. Getting over, under, or around the single and multiple beams must always be considered.
| No. of Beams | Height Above the Floor— mm (in) |
C—mm (in) |
| 1 | 750 (29.5) | 1200 (47.2) |
| 2 | 400 (15.7), 900 (35.4) | 850 (33.4) |
| 3 | 300 (11.8), 700 (27.5), 1100 (43.3) | 850 (33.4) |
| 4 | 300 (11.8), 600 (23.6), 900 (35.4), 1200 (47.2) | 850 (33.4) |
