COMPONENTS

UPRIGHT FRAMES: heavy gauge steel

POSTS: are punched on face for beam placement on 2" vertical centers. The posts are marked on 12" centers to facilitate placement of shelf levels. A slot on each side of the post accepts a nib on the end of each beam, to lock it in place. Frames have a capacity of 7,500 pounds with a 1.92 safety factor where vertical beam spacing does not exceed 60".

RIGIDITY BEAMS provide(3" high steel channels ) lateral stability for the shelving; a minimum of two pairs of beams is required per unit. Beams are supplied in even foot lengths from 4' through 8'.

STEEL SHELVES Steel Wide Span Shelves are a smooth, safe surface for storage. 1-3/4" high, feature double flanges at front & rear edges with a full width reinforcing pan welded to the center of the bottom.
For 36", 42" and 48" depths, the appropriate number of 18" and 24" deep shelves are provided, and are installed together on the Side Shelf Supports to achieve the stated depth.
Shelf Widths:

• 60 inch

• Wire decking

PLYWOOD/PARTICLE BOARD USED IN LIEU OF STEEL SHELVES
Available Special beams and supports are used when plywood, pressed wood, particle board, oriented strand board or other composition type panels are used in place of steel shelves (these deck materials must be purchased separately). Two beam types are available: Standard Plywood Beams, and Heavy Duty Plywood Beams. Each is manufactured an extra 1/2 " long to facilitate placement of full foot lengths of decking. Each uses a different type of front to back support for the decking material. Neither can be used in the same unit or bay with standard rigidity beams, because the lengths are different.
