RETAIL SHELVING SYSTEM
A shelving system is provided. The shelving system includes an upper rail, and optionally a lower rail, from which one or more upright supports extend. The upright supports are slidable within the upper and lower rails so that a user may vary their location. A shelf mounts to the upright supports. The shelf includes interlocking deck panels and selectively removable support bars so that it may be assembled onto the upright supports.
Systems, methods, and storage units for article transport and storage
Provided are systems, methods, and devices for storing and transporting articles with a multi-shelf storage unit. A system for article handling includes a multi-shelf storage unit and a robotic unit. The multi-shelf storage unit includes a plurality of shelves disposed on a frame, the plurality of shelves including at least one vertically moveable shelf configured to move in first and second vertical directions relative to the frame, and a lift mechanism configured to automatically drive, in response to receiving a drive input, the at least one vertically moveable shelf in the first or second vertical direction. The robotic unit includes an end effector disposed on a robotic manipulator for engaging an article and a lift mechanism actuator that is connectable to the lift mechanism and configured to provide the drive input to actuate the lift mechanism.

In-door cooler rack shelving system
Disclosed are rack shelving systems in-door coolers. The rack shelving systems are easily adjusted height-wise between adjacent shelves and can also be quickly adjusted between a flat shelf configuration and a gravity-feed configuration due to the configuration of different length prongs the attach the shelves to uprights that may have an angled surface with a hem be of a or typical U-shape. The rack shelving systems are also expandable width-wise to accommodate any number of cooler doors due to two rows of parallel slots on each upright that are configured to accept the prongs of shelves attached to adjacent uprights. The rack shelving systems very simple in design and are made up of as few as three (3) different parts: uprights, shelves, and cross-member. The rack shelving systems preferably further include feet/wheels for support and mobility.

Adjustable apparatus for product display
An example adjustable product display apparatus is provided that includes a body configured to be mounted to a shelf. The body includes a proximal end, a distal end, a bottom surface extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a top surface extending between the proximal end and the distal end at an angle relative to the bottom surface. The top surface is configured to support one or more products thereon. A distance between the bottom surface and the top surface increases from the proximal end to the distal and the distance at the distal end of the body defining a rear height of the body. The adjustable product display apparatus includes an expandable support disposed at the distal end of the body. Adjustment of the expandable support varies a height of the expandable support and simultaneously adjusts the rear height of the body.
