Global Industrial B3171461 Boltless Shelving Add-on 5 Shelf

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B3171461 is a five-shelf, standard-duty boltless shelving add-on unit with a laminate deck, designed to extend an existing shelving starter unit without the need for bolts, nuts, or clips. The unit measures 96 inches wide by 30 inches deep by 72 inches tall and carries up to 1,000 pounds per shelf level. Roll-formed 14-gauge steel T-posts are punched on 1-inch centers, and double-riveted horizontal beams allow shelf height adjustment in 1-inch increments. A chip-resistant gray baked enamel finish protects the steel framing. Facility managers, warehouse personnel, and operations staff in retail, commercial, and industrial settings commonly spec this unit for high-density storage buildouts.

This add-on unit is built for retail, commercial, and industrial storage applications where floor space must be maximized. The open-frame design allows four-sided access to stored goods, making it well suited for pick-and-pack operations, stockrooms, and manufacturing support areas. Snap-in components mean setup requires no special tools. Joining an add-on to a starter unit delivers more structural stability and faster assembly compared to bolting two independent starter units side by side. The melamine laminate decking surface is stain-resistant and easy to clean, with a white laminated particle board panel measuring 0.5 inches thick with pre-cut square edging. Decking ships in two pieces.

Key Features

• 1,000-pound capacity per shelf level
• Five shelves adjustable in 1-inch vertical increments via 14-gauge steel T-posts punched on 1-inch centers
• Boltless snap-in assembly - no nuts, bolts, or clips required
• Double rivet button stud construction locks perimeter beams into corner posts, eliminating back and side sway

Compatibility

Designed as an add-on unit to pair with a compatible GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL boltless shelving starter unit of the same width and depth configuration. Add-on units share corner posts with the adjacent starter unit rather than including their own full post set.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed without hand tools in most cases, as all components snap or rivet into place. Ensure the starter unit is fully assembled and level before attaching the add-on. Position on a flat, load-bearing floor surface rated for the combined shelf load. Follow applicable local building and fire codes regarding aisle clearance and maximum stacked load height in commercial and industrial occupancies.
