Global Industrial B3170717 Boltless Shelving Starter

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3170717 is a 5-shelf, standard-duty boltless shelving starter unit with wood decking, built for heavy-use storage in retail, commercial, and industrial environments. The unit measures 96 inches wide by 48 inches deep by 120 inches tall and supports up to 1,000 pounds per shelf level. Roll-formed 14-gauge steel uprights and double-riveted horizontal beams provide a structurally rigid frame. Snap-in assembly requires no bolts, nuts, or clips. Front-to-back supports prevent beam rotation under load, and double rivet button stud construction at the corner posts eliminates back and side sway. A licensed HVAC tech, warehouse manager, or facilities crew can configure and install this unit without specialized tools.

This shelving starter is suited for warehouse floors, retail stockrooms, industrial facilities, and commercial storage areas. The open four-sided design allows access from any direction, maximizing workflow flexibility. Shelf levels adjust vertically on 1-inch increments, making it adaptable to varying load heights. The unit ships as a complete starter configuration and can be used as a standalone bay or as the foundation of an extended run with compatible add-on units.

Installation Notes

Assembly requires no special tools - snap-in components lock together by hand. Ensure the floor surface is level before assembling to prevent racking or instability. Do not exceed the rated per-shelf load capacity, and distribute weight evenly across the deck surface. Particleboard decking ships in two pieces; verify all components are present before beginning assembly.
