NOTICE
Use caution when handling and assembling metal parts. The metal may have sharp edges or corners. The use of
protective gloves is recommended. Do not use this unit for anything that is outside the designed function of
storage. Do not store loose or heavy items on the top shelves or on the top of the unit, for they create a falling
hazard that can injure yourself or others. Always remember to use proper lifting techniques when moving either
the boxed or assembled unit. Shelving should be periodically inspected for loose bolts, for damaged “T” uprights or
shelves, for proper seating of shelf and clip. Check loading to assure it is not being overloaded. If any damage
is detected, units should be unloaded immediately and repaired or replaced before returning toservice.

To install the footplates, bolt to the bottom of
the posts as show below. Install the beams.
To install the beams, insert one end of the beam past the notices in order to leave enough space for the other end
to clear the post and slide into place. Align the notches once both sides are in the slots of the post. Use a rubber
mallet to secure the beam in place.

Wood shelves (in one piece) are placed on the beams.
Steel shelves (usually multiple pieces) are placed on
the beams and screwed together.
*A minimum of 5/8” industrial grade particle wood, cut to nominal
dimensions, is recommended.
Make sure the unit is level. Drill a hole into the floor. Secure
the footplate to the floor using the anchors (not included).
To join 2 posts vertically, bolt a splice bracket to either side of the posts at the joint. When splicing back-to-back
units, only 1 more splice bracket is required.
