Global Industrial B3170941 Boltless Shelving Add on 60x18x84

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3170941 is a 4-shelf heavy duty boltless shelving add-on unit with wood decking, designed to expand existing shelving runs in retail, commercial, and industrial storage environments. The unit features roll-formed steel framing with a chip-resistant gray baked enamel finish and supports up to 1,400 pounds per level. Each shelf level is adjustable in 1-inch increments using a double rivet button stud system that locks perimeter beams into corner posts, eliminating back and side sway. Assembly requires no bolts, nuts, or clips. Licensed contractors and facility managers typically install this unit alongside compatible starter units to build out high-capacity storage systems.

This add-on unit is intended for use in retail stockrooms, warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities where maximizing vertical and horizontal storage capacity is a priority. The open-shelf design allows four-sided access, making it well suited for high-turnover inventory, bulk storage, and pallet-adjacent shelving configurations. The particleboard wood decking ships in two pieces and provides a solid, cost-effective surface for storing a wide range of goods. This unit attaches to an existing starter unit, sharing posts and reducing overall material and assembly time compared to joining two standalone starter units.

Installation Notes

Install this add-on unit by connecting it to an existing starter unit, sharing one column of posts to form a continuous shelving run. Power tools are not required for assembly, but a rubber mallet may be helpful for fully seating beam connectors. Ensure the floor surface is level before final placement and load distribution. Inspect all beam-to-post connections after initial loading to confirm full engagement.
