Global Industrial B3170791 Boltless Shelving Starter

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3170791 is a 4-shelf standard duty boltless shelving starter unit with wood decking, designed for high-density storage in retail, commercial, and industrial environments. The unit measures 96 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 72 inches tall and supports up to 1,000 pounds per shelf level. Roll-formed 14-gauge steel uprights measuring 2 inches by 1.5 inches are punched on 1-inch centers, accepting double-riveted horizontal beams that adjust vertically in 1-inch increments. Assembly requires no bolts, nuts, or clips. A licensed contractor or experienced facilities crew handles initial setup.

This shelving starter is suited for warehouse floors, stockrooms, retail back-of-house areas, and light industrial facilities. The open four-sided design allows access from any direction, making it practical for high-turnover pick locations or bulk storage staging. Front-to-back supports prevent beam rotation under full load, and double rivet button stud construction locks perimeter beams into corner posts to eliminate back-and-side sway. The 5/8-inch thick particleboard decking ships in two pieces per shelf level and provides a solid, cost-effective surface for palletized or loose goods.

Designed as a standard starter unit for boltless shelving systems in retail, commercial, and industrial storage applications. Add-on units of matching depth and height can typically be connected to expand run length.

Installation Notes

Assembly is performed without tools using snap-in components; verify all beam studs are fully seated in upright post holes before loading shelves. Anchor the unit to a structural floor or wall per applicable building codes when installed in seismic zones or when loaded near rated capacity. Particleboard deck panels ship in two pieces per level - inspect for damage before installation. Do not exceed the rated per-level load capacity or distribute weight unevenly across unsupported deck spans.
