Boltless shelving FAQ

Ask your question

or call 971-337-6608

How much weight can a shelf hold?

Up to 350 lb on a low-profile shelf, and up to 1,000 lb or more on long-span and Z-beam shelves, evenly loaded. The rating depends on the beam, the width and the depth, and is confirmed in your quote.

How is boltless shelving put together?

Stand the posts, drop the beams in so their rivets sit in the keyhole slots, and tap them down with a rubber mallet until they lock. Lay the decks on the beams. No nuts, bolts or clips.

What is a starter and an add-on unit?

A starter unit has four posts. An add-on shares two posts with the unit beside it, so a run of units costs less and lines up straight.

Can boltless shelving be loaded with a forklift?

No. It is built for hand loading. For forklift loads, use pallet racking or cantilever racking. See pallet racking and cantilever racking.

Is it rivet shelving or boltless shelving?

Both names mean the same thing: shelving held together by rivets in keyhole slots instead of bolts.

Can you install it?

Yes. Our crews lay out, assemble and level the shelving, from a single room to long runs and two-level systems.

About boltless shelving

Boltless shelving, also called rivet shelving, holds together without nuts or bolts. Steel beams with rivets at each end drop into keyhole slots in angle posts and lock under their own weight, and a rubber mallet seats them. With no cross bracing, the units stay open on all four sides for loading and picking by hand. Warehouses, parts rooms, records rooms, backrooms and shops use it for boxes, bins and files. Lenokers supplies boltless shelving in single units and long runs, supply only or assembled by our crews.

How it goes together

Each beam end carries two rivets. They drop into the keyhole slots of the post, every 1-1/2″, and lock as the beam is tapped down. Moving a shelf is the same in reverse.

Starter and add-on units

A run starts with a four-post unit. Each add-on uses two new posts and shares two with the unit before it, so long runs cost less and stay in line.

Decks

Particle board for boxes and small items, wire mesh where air, light and sprinkler water need to pass, and steel for oily parts or wet rooms.
