Simplastics Wire Shelving Set-Ups for Less
Friday, November 11th, 2011Chrome wire shelving is the answer if you’re looking for a versatile shelving system.. Plasticstorage.com is most likely goingto have what you are looking for. With wire shelves in a massive variety of sizes and several heights to choose from, you can create wire shelving units from short units at table heights to 7 foot tall rack systems. Each of the wire shelving can hold anywhere from 400 lbs. to 600 lbs. per shelf. Shelves up to 48” can support 600 lbs. per shelf and shelves ranging in length from 54” to 72” can handle 400 lbs. We would warn that it’s not a great idea to place something 400 lbs. dead center on the shelf..
So, you ask where is the wire shelving unit’s flexibility visible? Using the plastic split sleeves, shelves attach to the posts at 1′ increments.. The top and bottom shelves can stay stationary while you adjust the middle shelves.
The versatility of the wire shelving does not end with the 4 posts and the shelves alone. The design of the posts allows the insertion of stem casters and turn your shelving rack unit into a mobile cart.
Plasticstorage.com makes available caster sets with a wheel diameter of 5”, the wheels swivel and 2 of the casters also contain brakes. Concerned about your mobile cart hitting and damaging a wall or doorway? Plasticstorage.com sells “donut-shaped” rubber bumpers that cushion the impact.
If you’re worried that your stuff could fall off of the sides or back of the shelves? The wire shelving units Simplastics sells also have side-ledges and back-ledges available. You can place a back ledge on the front side of your shelving unit to ensure nothing falls forward.
You can use the wire shelving units in store rooms, kitchens, class rooms and if you’re a contract manufacturer in the semiconductor or electronics business and must protect your product from electrostatic discharge? Plasticstorage.com has ESD conductive casters available, along with ESD conductive drag cables that enable you to ground the unit. Plastic split sleeves are substituted for aluminum split sleeves to make this an ESD safe shelving unit.
Does your project entail erecting storage shelves in an entire storage room or warehouse? You may want to begin with a starter unit and then connect as many add-on units you need. The advantage is that you get to use existing posts from a previous unit, to support the shelves of the next unit. The only thing you must keep in mind, is that you cannot turn an add-on unit into a mobile unit by adding casters, as the add-on unit only has 2 posts.
