FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between light duty and medium duty shelving?
Light duty shelving typically supports 300–800 lbs per shelf and is ideal for cartons, bins, and hand-loaded goods. Medium duty systems (1,000+ lbs per shelf) are used for heavier, semi-palletized loads. If your items are all hand-carried and under 800 lbs per shelf, light duty is the cost-efficient choice.
Q2: How much weight can a light duty storage rack hold?
Per-shelf capacity ranges from 300 to 800 lbs depending on the model; a 4-shelf bay can hold up to 2,400 lbs total. Always check the per-shelf rating of the specific model you select.
Q3: Do I need tools to assemble it?
No. The boltless rivet design snaps together without bolts or tools. Two people can assemble a standard bay in roughly 15–30 minutes.
Q4: Can the shelf heights be adjusted later?
Yes. Shelves can be repositioned every 1.57" (40 mm) along the posts — no disassembly required.
Q5: Is it suitable for humid environments like basements or garages?
Yes. Choose the galvanized finish for humid or coastal environments; epoxy finishes suit dry indoor storage. Both pass salt-spray testing.
