Top-Track

™

High-Density Storage Systems

• Maximizes Storage Capacity: Top-Track can increase

the storage capacity of a given area by 30% to 40%.
Mobile units are used between stationary units. Only
one aisle, which can be opened between any two units
as needed, is required. The Top-Track Storage system
utilizes far less aisle space and maximizes the usable
storage area.

• Cost-Saving Performance: This efficient utilization

of space addresses the storage needs of new or
growing operations. In a new facility, less square footage
would have to be dedicated to storage. In growing
operations, Top-Track can eliminate the need to expand
the facility to handle increasing storage requirements,
greatly reducing the costs associated with a growing
business’s needs.

• Improved Organization and Inventory Control:

Top-Track allows better organization of stored goods
and permits improved inventory control with one-stop
delivery and pick-up.

• Increased Productivity: With reduced square footage

dedicated to storage, Top-Track maximizes the amount
of productive “front of the house” space available,
increasing daily revenues.

• Accessible: The overhead track system guides the

mobile units and opens an access aisle between any
two units, whenever it is needed. The open access
promotes cleanliness and easy access for walking or
for utility carts, simplifying the material handling task.

• Super Erecta

Erecta and Super Adjustable shelves are available in a
variety of widths and lengths. Each system features
ease of assembly, promotes air circulation, promotes
light penetration and shelf level adjustability. Super
Adjustable features shelf corners with a quick release
lever. Shelves can be rapidly adjusted, without the use
of tools, to meet changing storage needs. Shelves are
available in Brite,
built-in product protection and stainless steel.

NOTES:

1. The stationary end and intermediate units must have a minimum of four shelves.

2. The standard Top-Track™ system requires the use of 86" (2185mm) posts (i.e., 86PK3 or 86PS) on the stationary end and intermediate units. Shelves for the stationary end and

intermediate units are sold separately.

3. The mobile unit kits includes special 74" (1880mm) posts with casters. Shelves for mobile units are sold separately.

4. Recommended maximum load rating for a mobile unit is 900 lbs. (400kg). Floor should be level, smooth, and free from large cracks and raised obstacles.

5. Under normal conditions, an aisle width of 30"-36" (762-914mm) is recommended. The storage of very large objects within the system, however, may require an aisle width larger
than 36" (914mm).

6. A stationary intermediate unit is required when track length exceeds 21 feet (6401mm). A stationary intermediate unit may be used at the discretion of the user when track lengths are less
than 21 feet (6401mm).

assemblies, and tie-together hardware to connect two mobile units together (i.e., one in LTTM21C 21 530
each system). SHELVES SOLD SEPARATELY. Just add shelves. LTTM24C 24 610

NOTES:

1. The stationary end and intermediate units must have a minimum of four shelves. For all Super Adjustable applications, the top and bottom shelves are to be non “quick adjust”
Super Erecta shelves.

2. The standard Double Deep Top-Track™ system requires the use of 86" (2185mm) posts (i.e., 86P) on the stationary end and intermediate units. Shelves for the stationary end and
intermediate units are sold separately.

3. The mobile unit kit includes special 74" (1880mm) posts with casters. Shelves for mobile units are sold separately. For all Super Adjustable applications, the top and bottom shelves are to
be non “quick adjust” Super Erecta shelves.

4. Under normal conditions, an aisle width of 30"-36" (762mm-914mm) is recommended. The storage of very large objects within the system, however, may require an aisle width larger
than 36" (914mm).

5. Two intermediate shelving units connected end-to-end are required when the track length exceeds 21 feet (6401mm). Stationary intermediate shelving units may be used at the discretion of
the user when track lengths are less than 21 feet (6401mm).

6. The maximum Double Deep system configuration is 10'7" (3202mm) (e.g., two systems, each having 60" (1525mm) for long shelves plus 6" (152mm) for Top-Track components.)

7. Ease of rollability for the mobile unit is an important consideration in evaluating Top-Track as a possible storage alternative. The floor should be level, smooth, and free from large cracks and
raised obstacles. Two mobile shelving units connected end-to-end and loaded with between 800 to 1,200 lbs. (365-550kg) will require a human effort range (in lbs. of human force) of
between 18-24 lbs. (8-11kg) to move the unit from a complete stop. An average person will perceive this as acceptable effort levels.

8. Mobile units should have the top shelf positioned as close as possible to the track.
