Wall-Mounted, Configurable Storage System
In a wall-mounted shelving and/or storage system, vertical standards are mounted to a wall using a plurality of individual cleats arranged in vertical columns and horizontal rows. The width of each cleat is smaller than the width of the standard, so that it can be hidden within the standard when mounted. Formed on the back of each vertical standard are a plurality of transverse edges at predefined intervals, in known spatial relationships with bracket connection points, for cooperating with the cleats to properly position and orient the standards at the correct height with respect to each other.
Modular cabinet and connector module thereof
A cabinet includes a structural frame including a plurality of connecting rods and a plurality of connector modules each of which includes first and second connectors. The first connector includes two first main plate portions perpendicularly connected to each other, a first fastening hole, and a limiting indented portion. The second connector includes a second main plate portion perpendicular to the first main plate portions, a seat body connected to the second main plate portion and having a first fastening hole corresponding in position to the first fastening hole of the first connector, and a limiting protruding portion protruding from the second main plate portion and having a shape complementing with that of the limiting indented portion.
Smart shelves
Interposer assemblies may be inserted between a traditional shelf and traditional supports for the shelf. Each of the interposer assemblies may be configured to generate signals corresponding to changes in loading on the traditional shelf, and information regarding the changes may be determined to identify items placed onto or removed from the traditional shelf, and locations at which the items were placed or from which the items were removed. The interposer assemblies may include one or more load cells, such as strain-gage load cells, and analog signals generated by the load cells may be processed to determine a mass of an item placed on the shelf or removed therefrom. The item, and a location corresponding to the item, may be determined based on the mass and according to standard equilibrium procedures.

System, method, and apparatus for installing and modifying pallet rack beam shelving
A system, method, and apparatus for installing or modifying the configuration of a pallet rack beam shelving system. A pallet rack assembly tool includes a mounting stub that is configured to be positioned below a cross member of a pallet rack system. A beam carrier is then operatively coupled to the mounting stub to place an upper support surface subjacent to a bottom edge of the cross member. The beam carrier includes upstanding beam stop extending forwardly from and above the upper support surface. The beam stop is configured to retain a released end of the cross member while the worker may attach or detach an opposite end of the cross member to or from the upright support member.

Equipment rack having mounting rails
An equipment rack, mounting rails for the equipment rack, and associated methods. The mounting rails are selectively movable on a frame of the equipment rack and can be clamped to secure the mounting rails to the frame. A clamp of the mounting rail can include a clamp arm having a clamped position and an unclamped position and a lever arm for moving the clamp arm between the clamped and unclamped positions.
Equipment rack having mounting brackets
An equipment rack, mounting break thereof, and associated methods. The bracket is secured to a frame assembly of the equipment rack by a releasable snap-fit connection. The snap-fit connection can maintain engagement of the bracket with abutments of the frame assembly and/or maintain mated connections of the bracket with the frame assembly. The brackets can be used to mount electrical power distribution units, cable baskets, or other equipment.
