Steel Shelving
Steel Shelving - Components
 |
 |
 |
|
Angle Post Our most popular style Stiffening offset rib Ideal for seismic applications Always used as rear posts in combination with other posts Shelf access is reduced by 2" Post heights available from 5 ft. to 22 ft. for most applications
|
Delta Post
Double-sided design — ideal as common posts between multiple units with independent shelf positioning Roll-formed of 14-guage steel Smooth front face for office applications Not suitable for seismic or heavy-duty applications Unobstructed shelf access |
Beaded Post
Double-sided design — ideal as common posts between multiple units with independent shelf positioning 13-guage tubular steel design Maximum weight-bearing capacity for heavy-duty and mezzanine application |

Add to Shelf Width |
3/8" per unit | 3/8" per unit + 1/2" per row |
3/8" per unit + 3/4" per row |
||||||
|
Add to Shelf Depth |
1/16" | 1/16" | 13/16" | ||||||
|
To Determine Shelf Clear Opening, Subtract from Shelf Width |
17/8" | 1/8" | 5/8" | ||||||
|
Angle Post Example
 Overall width = 72 3/4" Overall depth = 24 1/8" Clear opening per shelf= 34 1/8" |
Delta Post Example
 Overall width = 73 1/4" Overall depth = 24 1/8" Clear opening per shelf= 35 7/8" |
Beaded Post Example
 Overall width = 73 1/2" Overall depth = 25 5/8" Clear opening per shelf= 35 3/8" |
