Global Industrial B3163846 Boltless Shelving Starter No Deck

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3163846 is a 3-shelf heavy duty boltless shelving starter unit designed for high-capacity storage in industrial, commercial, and retail environments. Each shelf level supports up to 1,800 pounds, and the unit stands 96 inches tall with a 36-inch width and 12-inch depth. Roll-formed steel uprights measuring 2 inches by 1 inch are constructed from 14-gauge steel and punched on 1-inch centers. Double-rivet button stud construction locks the perimeter beams into the corner posts, eliminating back and side sway. This unit ships without decking, which must be ordered separately. Licensed tradespeople and facilities maintenance staff typically handle installation.

This shelving starter is suited for warehouses, stockrooms, retail backrooms, and light manufacturing facilities. The open design allows four-sided access, making it practical for high-turnover inventory. Shelf beams adjust vertically in 1-inch increments, allowing configuration changes without tools or hardware. The no-deck design accommodates a wide range of custom decking options ordered separately, including wire, particle board, or steel panel decks depending on the application. This unit is sold as a single starter configuration and can be paired with add-on units to expand the run.

Installation Notes

Assembly requires no bolts, nuts, or clips - components snap together by hand, making this suitable for facilities maintenance staff without specialized tools. Ensure the floor surface is level before assembly to maintain structural integrity and prevent racking. Do not exceed the rated per-shelf load capacity. When expanding with add-on units, confirm all uprights are plumb before loading shelves.
