Sizes and ratings

Units come 18 or 24 in deep, 36 to 72 in wide and 63, 74 or 86 in tall, with 4 or 5 shelves. Listings rate each shelf at 600 or 800 lb, depending on size [S1]. Wider shelves usually carry less per shelf, so check the listing for the size you need.

Making it mobile

  1. Use stem casters that fit the post. Wire shelving casters use threaded or grip ring stems.
  2. Rolling capacity is the caster rating times three for four casters [S2], which is often less than the shelf ratings.
  3. Use brake casters on at least two corners.
