A shelving structure may include a plurality of sleeves and wire shelves. Each of the sleeves has an upper opening and a lower opening for connecting purpose, and a plurality of connecting holes are formed on the sleeve. Each of the wire shelves comprises a bearing surface formed by welding of cross steel bars, and each of edges of the wire shelf is formed by welding of the steel bar. Each of inserting spaces is formed at the corner of two adjacent edges of the wire shelf. Each of the sleeves is connected at the corner of the wire shelf, and each of the steel bars on the edge of the wire shelf is connected to the connecting holes of two adjacent sleeves at two ends. The sleeve is stamped by a module of a stamping machine so as to deform and connect the connecting hole and the steel bar together.

Beams and posts are disclosed. The beams and posts may be used for racks or shelving. The beams and posts may be formed by folding a sheet of metal. For example, the beams and posts may be non-volumous or hollow. Optionally, a portion of the wall of the beam or post is thickened, for example, by folding over the metal back and forth. Optionally, the thickened portion runs the length of the beam or post. In some embodiments, a fastener (e.g., a loop and/or hook) is formed in the thickened portion of the wall. For example, the fastener formed by punching out of the wall. Optionally, the fasteners are used to connect the posts to the beams.

A high load capacity shelving system that is easily accessible from all sides. The shelving system comprises a plurality of corner posts, a plurality of shelving assemblies, and Z-esque shaped support beams. The support beam has a first vertical component above and coplanar with a second vertical component, a first horizontal component extending from a bottom portion of the first vertical component, a second horizontal component extending from a bottom portion of the second vertical component, and a diagonal component connecting the first horizontal component to a top portion of the second vertical component. The first horizontal component and the second horizontal component are parallel to each other.

The present invention relates to a cross-brace (4) having an elongate rod portion (41) and two claws (42), in the case of which a second grip-around portion (423) of the claws (42) can be moved relative to a first grip-around portion (422) of the claws (42) between an open position, in which a rod-form element is accommodated by the claws (42), or can be removed from the claws (42), and a closed position, in which the claws (42) can grip around the rod-form element. The first grip-around portion (422) and the second grip-around portion (423) are designed here such that they grip around the rod-form element in the closed position in such a manner that a gap (S) remains between a free end (4224) of the first grip-around portion (422) and a free end (4231) of the second grip-around portion (423). Furthermore, the claws (42) comprise an arresting mechanism, which is designed to keep the first grip-around portion (422) and the second grip-around portion (423) in the closed position. The present invention additionally relates to a furniture-assembly kit (1) having such a cross-brace (4).

An alignment tool and method that is easy to use during the installation of a base of a commercial storage rack over bolts extending up from a warehouse floor. The alignment tool comprises a cylindrical body having a first conically shaped upper end and a second lower end having a bolt receiving hollow opening therein. The opening extends up into said cylindrical body along a longitudinal axis of the body. The method includes placing the opening down over the bolts, with the conical top facing up, to protect the bolts and align the base as it is lowered over the bolts. The alignment tool can be easily removed, prior to bolting the base to the floor, such as with a removal tool through a hole in the alignment tool.

A tool storage system has a universal mounting bracket coupled to a support surface formed with a plurality of apertures that align with differently sized support arms that support a tool therefrom. The apertures are aligned along a common horizontal plane and the support arms have different heights that allow tools to be hung therefrom in a nesting relationship so that more tools can occupy less space or area relative to the support surface. The nesting relationship of the tools provides for a first tool supported by the first arm to fit within a space defined by the second tool supported by the second arm. In some instance, the first and second arms may be part of a pair of support arms, respectively.

An apparatus is disclosed that provides a storage system designed to allow pickers to easily and efficiently pull products from all portions of the storage system from a single side of the storage system. The storage system includes a first storage rack that has a first plurality of columns and a first platform extending from one of the first plurality of columns. An outer edge of the first platform forms an end of the first storage rack. Positioned adjacent to the first storage rack is a second storage rack with a second plurality of columns and a second platform that extends from one of the second plurality of columns, where an outer edge of the second platform forms an end of the second storage rack. An aisle is formed by a predetermined distance between the outer edges of the first and second platforms.

STRUCTURAL COLUMN AND MODULAR STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRICAL CABINETS COMPRISING SAID STRUCTURAL COLUMN, includes a structural column (1) which, from a single piece, accurately determines two corners or vertexes of a modular structure (19) for electric cabinets. The modular structure (19) has four vertically positioned structural columns (1) and at least eight horizontal beams (20) connected to each other by means of screws (21). This invention also introduces an innovative joint between the elements of the structural columns (1), which are joined together by means of welds (6) and with the aid of limiters (12), positioning flaps (11) and engagers (9). Thus, this invention guarantees a perfect square of the modular structure and the correct assembly of the electrical cabinet, with no need for highly specialized labor. The modular structure (19) presented here can be manufactured entirely from low-cost metal materials such as carbon steel, significantly reducing the manufacturing costs of electrical cabinets.
