SMARTWALL G3™ SYSTEM

Organized, efficient wall space at work.

A unique storage and work station system for often
underutilized space — empty walls. SmartWall G3
and its system of integrated wall tracks offer the
flexibility to add wall shelving and wall mounted task
stations where needed throughout a facility. The
use of the system around and above sinks, work
tables, and equipment will keep these areas cleaner
and more organized. SmartWall G3 can become
an integral part of everyday operating processes
to improve efficiencies and ultimately the return on
investment (ROI).

System

Task Station (medium duty) with
accessories for a sink/prep area.

• Flexible, Robust Design: Wall tracks and
uprights are designed to interface with wood
studs, plywood, concrete, and other suitable
wall structures.

• Configurations
Task Stations: unique combinations of wall

tracks, shelves, grids, and accessories.
Adjustable Wall Shelving: standard Metro
Super Erecta wire and solid, MetroMax Q, and
MetroMax i™ shelves can be used with the
SmartWall G3 shelf supports.

• Easy to Adjust: Uprights and grid brackets
can be easily repositioned along the track.
Heavy Gauge Uprights: 11/2" (38m) vertical
adjustment of shelves and grids.
Grids: 3" (76mm) vertical and horizontal
adjustment of accessories.

Task Station (standard duty) with
accessories for a food prep area.

Adjustable Wall Shelving

• Easy to Install: Simply attach the wall tracks
to a proper mounting structure. The wall tracks
provide a level mounting surface for uprights
and grid brackets. Hang the uprights or grid
brackets from the track. Configure the task
station or wall shelving. Finally, secure the
uprights or bottom grid brackets to the wall.

• Easy to Clean: Shelves, shelf supports, and
grids can easily be removed for thorough
cleaning of walls. Wall tracks and uprights
can easily be wiped clean.

• Durable Finishes: Super Erecta Brite for dry
environments; Metroseal 3 epoxy for wet or
damp environments with built-in Microban®
antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the
growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and fungus
that cause odors and product degradation.

Product Notes:

A. SmartWall G3 tracks, uprights, and shelf supports are not compatible with earlier generations of original SmartWall or SmartWall Plus.
B. When configuring task stations with uprights, choose shelves and grids of the same length. Longer grids may be used but must not overhang

the upright by more than 6" (152mm) on either side.

C. Grids can be mounted directly behind shelves, but shelf supports and grids cannot occupy the same slots on

the upright. Once the grid has been mounted to the upright, the shelf support can be mounted to its own slots

and can be adjusted on 3" (76mm) increments within the grid space.
D. Calculating the maximum usable wall track mounting space
Stop fasteners are installed at each end of a run of wall tracks and occupy approximately 1" (25mm) of track

space per end. Uprights and track-mounted grid brackets must be installed a minimum of 1" (25mm) inboard

on the wall track. The maximum usable length of track to install uprights or track-mounted grid brackets is

calculated as follows:
Subtract 2" (51mm) from the total length of tracks connected end to end.
Example: Three 72" (1829mm) wall tracks are installed end to end. The maximum usable length of wall track is:

(72" x 3) – 2" = 214" [(1829mm x 3) – 51mm = 5436mm]

Reference: Note “C”.
