    Battery Weight over Floor joists

    Maybe i'm being pedantic but should i worry about 4-48kg batteries + the weight of the server rack on my floor? ~ 500lbs worse case on 4 castor wheels. Joists are 2x10s 16oc with about a 10 foot span - I can measure for sure for the span if its close. Should i be at all concerned? Thanks!
