Common Wire Shelving Questions

Can I order custom post heights?

+

Yes. We offer professional custom post-cutting services to meet specific facility height requirements. Posts can be precision-cut to any size for an additional $5.00 per post. All custom orders arrive with post caps pre-installed for a clean, industrial finish. To ensure accuracy on custom dimensions, please contact our engineering sales team at 1-866-802-1436.

Are the shelf clips included in the price of the shelves and shelving kits?

+

Yes! All of our extra and specialty shelves and wire shelving kits come with shelf clips at no additional cost. If you need to buy shelf clips separately, you can purchase them here.

How thick are the wires on your wire shelving?

+

The wires on the sides are about .2" thick. The smaller horizontal wires are about .135" thick. Check out our wire shelving technical specifications for more detailed information.

How do I purchase a wire shelving kit that is a different size than what you offer?

+

You can make any size wire shelving unit with any number of shelves by purchasing the size posts you need and the number/size shelves you need (shelf clips are included). We have a Wire Shelving Parts page that has everything to build your custom unit.

Are casters available for wire shelving?

+

Yes. Compatible casters can be added to most units, making shelving mobile for cleaning, reorganization, or workflow flexibility. Read our tips for choosing the perfect caster to help you make the right decision for your unit.

Can I add another shelf to my wire shelving unit?

+

Yes, you can add as many shelves as you can fit on the posts. Just make sure you will have enough vertical space for the items you wish to store. We carry individual shelves (complete with shelf clips) that you can add to your shelving unit.

Do I have to have a shelf at the bottom?

+

If you choose not to have a bottom shelf, we recommend that you support the posts with 3 or 4 hanger rails along the depth and width of the bottom. Installing triangle footplates and/or post wall brackets can also help to stabilize a unit without a bottom shelf.

How are SI brand shelves measured?

+

Our Wire Shelving dimensions are outside to outside of the shelf which includes the post hole. The depth is front to back and the width is left to right.

What is the distance between the shelves?

+

Our Wire Shelving posts have notches every inch that allow shelves to be adjusted, so you can make the space between your shelves as short or tall as you need them to be!

What is the difference between your SI Wire Shelving and Metro Wire Shelving?

+

Our wire shelving is manufactured to the same specifications and grade of steel as Metro, meaning they have the same weight capacity. The Super Erecta Metro line we carry has levers that allow for easy shelf adjustment. However, our SI brand has far more sizes to choose from since we stock our brand in bulk. If you put SI brand and Metro side by side you really couldn't tell the difference but our SI brand is more budget friendly because of our bulk quantities.

What are the black rings in the packaging? Are they a part of the shelf?

+

The black rings in the packaging keep the shelves in place during transit. They are not a part of the shelf, so you can dispose of them if you wish.

How much weight can wire shelving hold?

+

Most commercial wire shelving systems support between 500 and 800 pounds per shelf when weight is evenly distributed. Load capacity varies by shelf size and configuration.

Is wire shelving adjustable?

+

Yes. Shelves adjust in 1-inch increments along the posts, allowing you to customize vertical spacing for different storage needs.

What parts make up a post?

+

Here is an illustration of our posts' anatomy. Note: all posts over 54" in length come in two pieces that are held together by a connector (as shown in the picture). Smaller posts will not have this piece because they do not ship in two pieces.

Is wire shelving difficult to assemble?

+

No tools are required. Simply attach the post clips at the desired height, slide the shelf onto the clips, and press downward to secure it. Our products come with an easy assembly guide to help you through the process. We also have videos that demonstrate the process.

Can I expand my wire shelving system later?

+

Yes. Add-on units and individual shelves allow you to expand or reconfigure your system as storage needs change.

Why does the chrome finish on my wire shelving have slight color variations (yellow or blue tones)?

+

Our chrome wire shelving is produced in batches, so slight variations in tone or luster (including subtle yellow or blue hues) may occur between items, especially when ordering different sizes or styles. These differences are normal, do not affect performance or durability, and are not considered a manufacturing defect.
