A shelving system comprises four corner columns, a plurality of substantially horizontal support beams, and a plurality of beam braces. Each of the support beams extends between two of the four corner columns, and each support beam is paired with a corresponding second support beam to form pairs of support beams. Each of the beam braces extends between the support beams of one of the pairs of support beams and comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion. The first and second end portions comprise substantially planar faces. The middle portion is between the first end portion and the second end portion and comprises first and second edges, wherein the first end portion and the second end portion extend away from the first and second edges, respectively, in opposite directions.

Load-bearing structure comprising one vertical upright, provided with one longitudinal wall and one fastening opening made along the longitudinal wall; one fastening body, provided with one fastening wall and with one fastening portion made cantilevered on the fastening wall, insertable inside the fastening opening and movable in a sliding manner inside the latter between a fastening configuration, in which it is coupled to the fastening opening, by fastening the vertical upright to the fastening body, and one free configuration, in which it is uncoupled from the fastening opening, freeing the vertical upright from the fastening body. The fastening portion comprises a first fastening element, which extends along a first direction of extension (FDE), and a second fastening element, which extends along a second direction of extension substantially transverse to the FDE, the first and the second fastening element being adapted to fasten to the longitudinal wall in the fastening configuration.

A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus comprising a heavy duty shelving assembly. The apparatus comprises shelving assemblies that may be used to store relatively heavy objects such as vehicle components, athletic weights, or the like. The apparatus comprises a plurality of vertical columns including column members that are selectively coupled to one another, a plurality of horizontal supports that extend between the column members, and a plurality of shelves that are positioned on the horizontal supports. The apparatus may also include a center brace extending between opposing horizontal supports. The horizontal supports include a truss portion connected to a support portion; the truss portion distributes the downward forces applied to the support portion by the shelves. The design of the apparatus and the truss increases the downward forces that may be applied to the shelf, thereby increasing the weight capacity of the shelves and the apparatus. The column members are configured for selective coupling by incorporating a main portion that comprises a plurality of apertures and a coupling portion that extends outward from the main portion such that it may accept at least part of a main portion of an adjacent column member. The coupling portion further comprises one or more engagement tabs that are configured to engage the apertures of an adjacent column member. In at least one embodiment, the engagement tabs are formed through stamping, thereby minimizing or entirely eliminating areas where stress can concentrate when the apparatus is under load. This feature reduces or eliminates the potential of a partial failure when the apparatus is under load.

Disclosed is a mounting clip for adjustable shelf systems, which ensures reliable and durable fixing of adjustable shelf boards without leaving any screw holes or marks on the board and also provides a possibility to dismount shelf boards by being re-adjustable in the same or different location. The mounting clip automatically locks its position between the shelf board and upper part of the rail opening. When the clip reaches its final position the wings will pass through the opening and create a snap in fixation.

An adjustable locking shelf support system for use in a medicine cabinet or other cabinet. The adjustable shelf support members have set-off lugs which are inserted and locked into slots in a recessed race located in the vertical walls of the cabinet. The front portion of the adjustable locking shelf support member protrudes into the cabinet toward the front has a channel that, together with the cooperating adjustable locking shelf support member located on the opposite side vertical wall of the cabinet, accepts a shelf made of glass or other material. The adjustable shelf support members can be removed and replaced throughout the cabinet in other slots evenly spaced in a vertical orientation in the recessed race of the vertical walls of the cabinet.
