Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EQUIPTO from 3G Electric.
What are the load capacities of EQUIPTO solid steel shelves?
EQUIPTO solid steel shelves supplied by 3G Electric have rated capacities of 450 lb, 700 lb, or 721 lb for evenly distributed loads. The capacity depends on the shelf dimensions and model. For example, the 36 in x 18 in shelves (MPN 6231 series) are rated at 700 lb, the 36 in x 24 in shelves (MPN 6232 series) at 721 lb, and the 48 in x 24 in shelves (MPN 6242 series) at 450 lb. These ratings assume uniform load distribution across the shelf surface. Always verify that the shelving system's uprights and beams can support the total load of all shelves.
What steel gauge and finish are used in EQUIPTO solid steel shelves?
EQUIPTO solid steel shelves are constructed from 18-gauge steel. The shelves are available with a powder-coated finish in gray, red, or blue. The powder coating provides a durable surface that resists chipping and corrosion in typical industrial environments. The 18-gauge steel thickness offers a balance between strength and weight, suitable for flat storage of boxes, parts, and tools. The finish color can be used to organize storage areas by department or product type, though the primary function is protection of the steel substrate.
What dimensions are available for EQUIPTO solid steel shelves?
3G Electric supplies EQUIPTO solid steel shelves in two overall widths: 36 inches and 48 inches. Depths are 18 inches and 24 inches. The specific combinations available include 36 in x 18 in, 36 in x 24 in, and 48 in x 24 in. These dimensions are designed to fit standard metal shelving systems. When selecting a shelf, confirm the width and depth match the shelving unit's frame and that the shelf will fit without modification. The overall depth is measured front to back, and overall width is measured left to right.
Are EQUIPTO solid steel shelves compatible with standard metal shelving?
Yes, EQUIPTO solid steel shelves are designed for use with standard metal shelving systems. They are intended to drop into or attach to common shelving uprights and beams. However, compatibility depends on the specific shelving system's design, including the beam profile and shelf support method. 3G Electric recommends verifying the shelf dimensions and attachment method against your existing shelving before ordering. The shelves are not universal; they are manufactured to fit EQUIPTO and similar standard shelving. If you are unsure, consult the shelving system's documentation or contact 3G Electric for assistance.
What is the difference between EQUIPTO solid steel shelves and wire shelves?
EQUIPTO solid steel shelves provide a flat, continuous surface that contains small items and prevents objects from falling through. Wire shelves allow for airflow and light penetration but may not support small parts or liquids. Solid shelves are suitable for storing boxes, tools, and parts that require a stable surface. They are also easier to clean in some environments. The choice depends on the application: solid shelves for containment and stability, wire shelves for ventilation and visibility. EQUIPTO manufactures both types, but 3G Electric currently supplies solid steel shelves from the EQUIPTO line.
