Rivet Shelving Specification
A guide to designing the
exact rivet racking you need for high capacity bulk storage
-
Determine overall width of shelving area. This is the amount
of
side-to-side space you wish to store product in.
-
Measure the width, depth and height of product being stored.
-
Determine the weight of product to be stored, and the number of products
to be stored per shelf.
-
Determine the width, or left-to-right
dimension of the individual shelf units needed. Standard rivet shelving
units are 12", 15", 18", 24", 30", 36",
42", 48", 60", 69", 72", 84", and
96" wide. Choose the size that best fits your product. Note that each
individual unit in a line of shelving unit adds from 1/2" to 3/4"
to
the actual width. You begin a row of shelves with a starter unit, and
attach adder units to extend.
-
Determine the shelf depth. This is the
front-to-back dimension. Choose the size that best fits your product depth.
Standard depths are 12", 15", 18", 24", 30",
36", 42", and 48" for rivet shelving.
-
Determine the weight each shelf will need to
bear based on the weight of stored product and number of products per shelf.
This will help determine whether you will need a single rivet or double rivet
beam. Capacities vary from 250 lbs. to
1,850 lbs. for each shelf. Note that this capacity is based upon evenly
distributed loads and reflects the capacity of the steel structure
only.
-
Determine the required decking material. This
is based on the capacity needed per shelf level. Typically, Particle Board
shelves are used. but for some higher capacity applications, you may want
other kinds of decking. For assistance please contact us.
-
Determine height of shelving needed. Some
factors that may help determine this are: Ceiling height and number of shelf
openings required. Shelf openings are the
space between shelf levels. For example, a seven shelf unit will have six
openings. To determine your shelf opening size, you should consider your
product height. Standard rivet shelving heights are: 72",
84", 96", and 120".
-
Consider your options. This guide reflects rivet shelving, but there
are other types of shelving. For many applications you can utilize Steel
Shelving, Rivet Shelving, or Wire Shelving. For advice on shelving sizes,
configurations and sizes, feel free to
submit a shelving inquiry.
