| Materials & Workmanship | The shelving is made from only the finest materials and highest quality workmanship. The sheet metal is commercial quality steel fully pickled or equivalent. |

| Open Uprights | Open uprights are formed of 18-gauge cold roll steel, rolled into a 2โ wide hollow โTโ or 1โ wide hollow โLโ shape with keyslot holes punched on 1-ยฝโ centers along the inner wall. There are no holes on the face of the post. The front and back posts are joined by welded 18-gauge 3โ high spacers to maintain the required distance apart and add rigidity to the assembly. Top and bottom spacers have 11/16โ stiffening flange with two ยผโ holes to allow securing to the floor or mobile base. Center spacers are flat strips. All uprights 64โ high or less plus uprights 76โ to 88โ high that are less then 30โ deep have three spacers. All other uprights have four spacers. The โLโ uprights are used for row ends and the โTโ uprights are used as common intermediate uprights. |
| Closed Uprights | Closed uprights have the same specification as open uprights except the spacers are replaced by welding a 24-gauge closure sheet with a stiffener flange at the bottom of the closure sheet. The flange has two ยผโ holes to allow securing to the floor or mobile base. |
