Global Industrial B3165654 Boltless Shelving Add-on 48x18x72

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3165654 is a 4-shelf boltless shelving add-on unit with wire decking, designed for retail, commercial, and industrial storage applications. The unit measures 48 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 72 inches tall and ships at 77.81 pounds. Roll-formed 14-gauge steel T-posts and double-rivet button stud construction lock perimeter beams into corner posts, eliminating back and side sway without the need for bolts, nuts, or clips. Snap-in components allow for fast setup, and shelves adjust vertically on 1-inch increments to accommodate varying load sizes. A chip-resistant gray baked enamel finish protects the steel framing in demanding environments.

This add-on unit is built to expand an existing boltless shelving starter unit, sharing corner posts to create a multi-bay run with greater stability and less assembly time than joining two standalone starter units. Suited for warehouses, stockrooms, retail back-of-house, and light industrial facilities, the open wire deck design provides four-side access and allows ventilation, visibility, and light penetration through each shelf level. Sprinkler water passes freely through the wire decking, supporting fire safety compliance and potentially reducing insurance premiums in applicable facilities.

Key Features

• Boltless snap-in assembly requires no nuts, bolts, or clips

Compatibility

Designed as an add-on unit to pair with compatible GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL boltless shelving starter units of matching width, depth, and post height. Verify starter unit dimensions before ordering to confirm shared-post compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed without specialized tools due to the snap-in boltless design. Ensure the floor surface is level before assembly to maintain structural integrity across the bay run. When joining the add-on to a starter unit, confirm shared corner posts are fully seated and secure before loading shelves. Follow facility load capacity guidelines and applicable local building or fire codes when determining shelf placement and load distribution.
