An appliance mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket with first and second distal arms that flare outward in opposing directions from an attachment body and couple to a panel. The mounting bracket includes a pair of coupling members that extend from the attachment body toward the panel surface and distal ends that curve inward toward one another. A self-clinching nut has an undercut, serrated clinching ring, and base. The undercut and the serrated clinching ring are disposed within an aperture defined by the attachment body. A ladder rack has first and second sides coupled via an attachment wall. The first and second sides define protrusions that engage the pair of coupling members in an interference fit. The attachment wall defines a receiving hole that aligns with the aperture. A threaded fastener extends through the receiving hole and engages the self-clinching nut to fasten the ladder rack to the mounting bracket.

An equipment rack, a bracket for mounting on the equipment rack, and associated methods. The bracket includes a bracket body including a mounting section configured to mount equipment on the bracket. The bracket is configured to engage the frame assembly and form a releasable snap-fit connection with the frame assembly. The bracket can be configured to form mating connections with the frame assembly different than the snap-fit connection.

The support bracket includes a major body with a first surface, a first engaging structure on a first end of the major body, a second engaging structure near a second end of the major body, and at least one center bracket connected to the major body, the at least one center bracket being slideable along the first surface of the major body between the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure.

A sleeve for a shelving unit has two halves joined together to form two support tabs extending outward from opposing sides of the sleeve as the sleeve clamps around a post having grooves into which a rib on the sleeve fits to hold the parts relative to the post. The support tabs have a retaining flange offset from the sleeve, at each of two opposing sides of each sleeve. A first collar part fastened to a shelf fits over half the sleeve and fits into that offset so that a slot in the first collar part fits over two abutting support tabs to clamp them together and wedge the sleeve against the post to support the first collar part and shelf. Each retaining flange has a latch portion on its outer surface that engages a mating latch portion on the abutting support tab prevent lateral separation.

Apparatus for connecting shelving and other hanging components (hanging baskets, boxes, prongs and display holders) to a backing board. The shelves have a pre-fitted protruding aluminium extrusion piece that fits into and locks into a dovetail piece that is pre-installed into a pre-cut triangle groove in the backboard. The backing board has a number of pre-cut grooves (to suit customer requirements) running the length of the board that are filled with the dovetail extrusions. The shelves can be removed without tools, can take significant weight and cannot be accidently dislodged.

A cable retainer gate and associated methods. The cable retainer gate has an attachment portion for selectively and removably attaching to a cable basket. A retainer portion of the cable retainer gate is configured for retaining cables on the cable basket. The cable retainer gate is movable between open and closed positions to permit placement and removal of cables on the basket.
