Component Specifications

Definition
Adjustable shelves are structural components integrated into part presentation racks, featuring a modular design that allows vertical repositioning along support columns. They consist of load-bearing surfaces with standardized mounting interfaces, enabling customization of storage heights to accommodate varying part sizes and weights. These shelves enhance operational efficiency by facilitating organized part presentation, reducing retrieval times, and supporting dynamic workflow adjustments in industrial environments.
Working Principle
Adjustable shelves operate on a mechanical interlocking principle, utilizing slots, pins, or brackets that engage with corresponding features on rack uprights. This allows for discrete height adjustments without tools in some designs, or with simple fasteners in others, ensuring secure positioning under load while maintaining flexibility for reconfiguration.
Materials
Typically constructed from cold-rolled steel (e.g., S235JR) or aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6) for structural integrity, with optional powder-coated finishes (epoxy or polyester) for corrosion resistance. Load-bearing surfaces may include perforated steel sheets, wire grids, or solid panels, depending on application requirements.
Technical Parameters
  • Load Capacity Up to 500 kg per shelf
  • Mounting Type Clip-on, bolt-on, or snap-in
  • Surface Finish Powder-coated RAL 9005 (black) or custom
  • Standard Dimensions Width: 600-1200 mm, Depth: 300-800 mm
  • Adjustment Increment 25 mm or 1 inch
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN 15155
