Unistrut Storage Racks and Shelves
Storage racks are one of the earliest and most common applications for Unistrut metal framing. There are several advantages to a metal framing rack designed from Unistrut channel. The load capacity is determined by the channel series that is used. The shelves are fully adjustable. Just loosen the bolts that secure the fittings to the channel to raise or lower the shelves. Post bases can be used when the rack is placed on a concrete surface to avoid surface damage. From art storage and display racks to parts racks and service counters, from cable dispensing racks to complex storage systems with built in ladders, design flexibility makes Unistrut framing channel an ideal choice for all of your shelving and storage racks needs.
Unistrut Materials Are Reusable
In addition to offering the ultimate degree of design flexibility, Unistrut materials are 100% reusable and recyclable. As in-plant conditions or needs change, simply disassemble your material handling equipment, and save for later use.
