Shelving Uprights
E-Z Shelving’s heavy-duty uprights form the “backbone” of our industrial-grade cantilever shelving systems. We build them in wall-mounted, freestanding, and floor-to-ceiling varieties to provide vertical support wherever you need sturdy, safe storage, work, or display surfaces.

E-Z Shelving Uprights vs. Four-Post Shelving
E-Z’s heavy-gauge shelving uprights eliminate the need for front support posts. The result is a 100% open-front look that delivers more storage capacity, more stability, and easier access than comparable four-post shelving. In addition, E-Z’s upright anchoring options facilitate custom configurations that just aren’t possible with traditional shelving units and rack style systems.
Perfectly Placed, Level Shelves
If your project requires nothing less than clean, perfect shelf lines, the continuous front channel of E-Z’s upright will serve you well. No more shelf-leveling issues resulting from poorly aligned notches or slots. To achieve a perfectly level shelf installation, at a precise height, simply place a leveling tool on the shelf-support brackets and nudge them into position along the upright channel – no shimming necessary.
