A.) Open 'T'
B.) Closed 'T'
C.) Closed 'L'
Closed 'L' uprights are located at either end of a
4-Post range. Open and Closed 'T' are located
internally in a 4-Post range. Each style contains
tapered slots vertically along the uprights to accept
the shelf supports that are positioned horizontally.
The narrow portion of the tapered slots must face
downward. Tapered slots are at 1-1/2"
center-to-center vertical spacing.
2 & 3. SHELF SUPPORTS: Two styles are used:
A.) Standard shelf supports (Pebble Gray)
B.) Bottom shelf supports (Graphite)
The supports are inserted into the slots of the vertical
upright to form the horizontal support for the shelf.
Standard shelf supports are Pebble Gray in color.
The bottom shelf supports are Graphite in color and
are used only at the bottom of the unit. Supports
should be secured into place with a rubber mallet.
4. SHELF REINFORCEMENT BARS:
Reinforcements are used on "Double Face Shelves
(24" and 30" shelving only). These bars are
positioned across the shelf supports to add strength
to the shelf. Shelf reinforcement quantities are
illustrated in the matrix.
NOTE: Adjust the reinforcement position if it
interferes with shelf slots.
5 & 6. SHELVES: three styles are used:
A.) Single Face Slotted.
Depth is either 12" or 15". Two rows of slots exist for
divider installation. Three slots are also located in

installation.
B.) Double Face Slotted.
Depth is either 23" or 30". Four rows of slots exist
for the divider installation. Three slots are also
located in the middle of the shelf for the center/back
stop installation.
C.) Single & Double Face Non-slotted.
Shelves are positioned on the shelf supports and
also used as the canopy top. which is typically a
non-slotted shelf.
7. COMMON STOPS:

Rollout Drawer Assembly / Installation
UPPER AND LOWER SPREADERS: When
specifying roll out drawers you will use two
lower spreaders and two upper spreaders for
each 4-Post unit. The lower spreader will
replace the lower shelf support, its additional
height will help to stabilize the unit. The upper
spreader would replace a shelf support in the
area above the top drawer, again the additional
height will help to stabilize the unit. Both upper
and lower spreaders are installed the same as
our standard shelf support. Place the tabs in
the holes in uprights and use a rubber mallet to
seat in place.
When attaching shelving to the floor
use (4) 1/4" masonry wedge anchors
for concrete or (4) 1/4" wood screws
when going into another material.
Not recommended for mounting on a
carpeted floor.
SHELF REINFORCEMENTS: A special shelf
reinforcement is used above the upper spreader, all
other shelves will use the X-ray bottom shelf
reinforcements (X18SRB, X36SRB)

SLIDE ATTACHMENT BRACKET KITS:
These kits include four brackets for both the 18" and
36" 4-Post. The 18" bracket kit will include two slides.
The 36" bracket kit will include four slides.
The brackets are attached much like the shelf
supports. The two pieces are slid together and the tabs
get located into the slots in the vertical uprights and are
seated in place with a rubber mallet. After they are
seated four screws get added to each bracket, two for
bracket stops and the other two to complete bracket
assembly.
A hardware kit (707900) with eight screws and six
brackets stops is included to complete each bracket kit.
