Rivet Shelving Glossary
Rivet shelving & rivet rack terminology
 Adder:
A unit of rivet shelving
designed to connect to a Starter Unit to form a row
of shelving. An Adder Unit consists of two Tee Posts, 4
Double Rivet Beams (for the top and bottom shelves, one each for the front and
back), Single Rivet (2 per level) or Double Rivet (4 per level) Beams as needed
for the desired number of shelves. Single Rivet Adder Units will also require
two side Single Rivet Beams to be shared as common between units.
Angle Post: Used as upright post for
standard rivet shelving units. (1-1/2" x 1-1/2") (See Illustration)
Capacity: The amount of weight a
shelf can hold, assuming evenly distributed loads. Rivet shelving is typically
listed by shelf capacity, but also has a total shelving unit capacity. Rivet
shelving on this website is measured by shelf capacity in pounds.
 Center
Support: Used with double rivet beams to provide
front-to-rear support for shelf deck and provides added stability to beams (see
photo to right).
Center Support Details
Decking: Rivet shelving consists of a steel frame and
must have decking added. Typically, this is Particle
Board, but can be other materials including wire decking, steel decking,
etc. More information on decking options.
Double Rivet Angle Beam: (Standard Duty):
Used to establish unit stability and to provide shelf support on all four sides.
More beam information.
Double Rivet Angle Beam: (Heavy
Duty): Provides stability and increased load capacity in the longer lengths.
More beam information.
Double Rivet Channel Beam: Designed
to provide maximum left to right stability and higher capacity than standard or
heavy-duty beams. Cannot be used at floor level. More
beam information.
Double Rivet Shelving: A type
of rivet shelving that utilizes a
double rivet beam for its shelf levels. It typically features very high capacity
load bearing shelves. See Double Rivet Illustration
and
Double Rivet Online Catalog.
Also, see the common equivalent,
Long Span
Shelving, which serves the same function as double rivet shelving.
Rivet Rack: Rivet shelving is often
called Rivet Rack, Boltless shelving, and other names in industry jargon.
Shelf Openings: The space between shelf levels. For example, a
seven shelf unit will have six openings.
Single Rivet Shelf Beam: Primarily
used as an intermediate shelf support when maximum vertical space between levels
is needed. More
beam information.
Single Rivet Shelving: Utilizes a
single rivet beam for its shelf levels. Single rivet units typically offer less
capacity and more accessibility than double rivet units do. See
Single Rivet Illustration and
Single Rivet
models. The RiveTier equivalent is commonly called
Low Profile
Shelving.
 Starter
Unit: A freestanding unit of rivet shelving.
Connect Adder Units to Starter Units to create a row
of shelving. A Starter Unit consists of four Angle Posts, 4 Double Rivet Beams
(for the top and bottom shelves, one each for the front and back), Single Rivet
(2 per level) or Double Rivet (4 per level) Beams as needed for the desired
number of shelves. Single Rivet Adder Units will also require two side Single
Rivet Beams to be shared as common between units.
Tee Post: Included
with standard duty add-on units to function as a common post between starter and
adjoining units. (3" x 1-1/2").
Tie Plate: Used to join angle post
units side by side to insure proper row alignment.
Wall Tie: Used to secure units to
the wall and provide space between the wall and units.
