A Heavy Duty Shelving System
E-Z’s heavy-duty shelving systems are built from industrial-strength steel and aluminum. The brackets and shelves feature stiffening flanges that prevent deformation under heavy loading. Working together, the components form a “rock-solid” connection to your building structure, suitable for applications such as:
- Heavy Storage (Coins, Ammunition)
- Humid Environments (Walk-in Coolers/Freezers, Turnout Gear Storage)
- Shop Work Surfaces
- Mobile Storage (Box Trucks, Shipping Containers)
The shelving is rock-solid when attached to wall panels in the freezer or cooler. It makes a big difference, especially when it comes to safety.
…the product is virtually indestructible. We use it in both offices to hold up our desk tops.
WALL-MOUNTED SHELVING LOADING EXAMPLE: 360 lbs (30 X 12 lbs/can) per each 24″-depth shelving bracket.
