Global Industrial B3165663 Boltless Shelving Add on 48x18x72

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3165663 is a 5-shelf boltless shelving add-on unit with wire decking, designed for retail, commercial, and industrial storage applications. It measures 48 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 72 inches tall and ships at 90.21 pounds. The unit uses snap-in components - no nuts, bolts, or clips required - making setup fast for warehouse staff or facility maintenance crews. Roll-formed 14-gauge steel T-posts and double-riveted horizontal beams handle heavy commercial loads, while the open wire deck surface promotes ventilation, visibility, and light penetration throughout the bay.

This add-on unit is built to expand an existing starter shelving run without bolting two standalone units together. That reduces construction time and increases lateral stability across the combined assembly. The shelves adjust vertically on 1-inch increments, accommodating variable product heights in warehouses, stockrooms, retail back-of-house areas, and light industrial facilities. Wire decking allows sprinkler water to pass through freely, which directly supports fire suppression performance and can contribute to lower facility insurance costs.

Key Features

• Boltless snap-in assembly - no tools, nuts, bolts, or clips required
• 14-gauge steel T-posts punched on 1-inch centers for shelf adjustability
• Double-rivet button stud construction on top and bottom shelves locks perimeter beams to corner posts, eliminating back and side sway
• Open wire deck design allows ventilation, light penetration, and sprinkler water pass-through
• Chip-resistant gray baked enamel finish for long-term durability in high-traffic environments
• Add-on configuration joins to an existing starter unit for easier, more stable bay expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an add-on unit that connects to a compatible GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL boltless shelving starter unit of matching width, depth, and post style. Confirm post punch pattern and beam connector type match your existing starter unit before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - components snap together by hand. Clear the floor area and verify the starter unit is already plumb and level before attaching the add-on. Ensure the combined assembly is positioned on a flat, load-rated surface appropriate for the intended shelf load. Follow all applicable facility safety codes for rack installation, including any local requirements for anchoring freestanding shelving in seismic zones or high-traffic areas.
