WIDE SPAN SHELVING UNITS
wide span shelving units

Wide Span is the standard of the industry for shelving designed
to contain wide, bulky loads. It bridges the storage gap between
conventional shelving and pallet rack. The range of applications
can be from a single unit (some on left) to a sophisticated multi-
level picking system .
Wide Span is easily the quickest shelving product to assemble.
There are a minimum number of parts that snap or fit into place
quickly and easily. No bracing to add and no hardware required.
Wide span is furnished in #028 gray baked-on enamel finish.
(Not recommended for fork truck loading.)
shelving
Wide Span Units are easy to order. Shown below are common sizes of units with 2 and 3 steel shelves, plus units for
3 levels of plywood shelves. Order as many Basic Units as you need for your row of shelving, then order one Rack
Ending Kit to end each row or single unit (plywood must be purchased separately).
Many other sizes are available by ordering from the component parts on the bottom of this page. Allow for the width
of each upright post in planning your layout. The Wide Span Growth Chart below illustrates the concept for your
convenience.

WIDE SPAN GROWTH CHART
When planning a row of Wide Span Shelving, allow for the 1-3/4" width of each upright post and 1/4" additional per
bay for the thickness of the beam ends. The chart shows typical growth for two 96" steel shelf units and 96-1/2"
plywood beam units.
For safety purposes, we recommend that Wide Span Uprights be floor or wall anchored.

COMPONENTS

Wide Span Upright Frames

UPRIGHT FRAMES: Wide Span Upright Frames are made from heavy gauge steel, MIG
welded into one rigid assembly containing posts, diagonal and horizontal braces and foot plates.
There is no assembly required. Many sizes are available.
Posts are punched on the face to provide positive independent beam placement on 2" vertical
centers. The posts are marked on 12" centers to facilitate placement of shelf levels. A slot on
each side of the post accepts a nib on the end of each beam, to lock it in place. Frames have a
capacity of 10,000 pounds with a 1.92 safety factor where vertical beam spacing does not
exceed 60".

10,000 LB. CAPACITY**. Order to end a row or basic unit, and when building units from
piece parts.
36" high units are designed to provide additional height when used with standard uprights; e.g.
a 72" upright plus a 36" upright obtains a 108" high upright.

**Wide Span Upright capacity of 10,000 lbs. based on maximum vertical distance of 60"
    between beam and beam.
Standard Color is 028 Gray.

Wide Span Beams
Rigidity beams provide lateral stability for the shelving; a minimum of two pairs of beams is required per unit. They
are constructed of 3" high steel channels with return flanges and a beam end connector welded to each end. Beams
are supplied in even foot lengths from 4' through 8'. Clearance between upright frames is 1/4" more than stated beam
size. If the beams are being used as load bearing members, then Beam Braces are required.

All Wide Span Beams have a patented Beam Lock that secures the beam end to the upright post to retard accidental
beam dislodging. An embossed nib on the beam end engages a slot on the side on the upright post, which holds the
beam end tight against the post. Can be disengaged with a mallet. It is normally not necessary to place rigidity beams
beneath each steel shelf.

Steel Wide Span Shelves are the ultimate in providing a smooth, safe surface for storing
a wide variety of items. They are 1-3/4" high and feature double flanges at front and rear
