QUANTUM

QUANTUM wire shelving posts are available in a range of heights to accommodate different shelving configurations. The catalog includes posts measuring 6 inches, 14 inches, 34 inches, 39 inches, 54 inches, 86 inches, and 96 inches, among others. Each post has a 1-inch diameter. The height selected depends on the desired number of shelves and the available vertical space. Posts are sold individually, so multiple posts can be combined to build a complete shelving unit. For specific height requirements, refer to the manufacturer part number, such as P6C for 6-inch posts or P96C for 96-inch posts.

QUANTUM dry-use shelving posts are designed for environments where moisture is not a primary concern. They typically feature a chrome finish over steel and are available with quick-adjust or split-sleeve designs. Wet-use posts, such as the antimicrobial stainless steel posts, are constructed from stainless steel to resist corrosion and are suitable for damp or wet conditions. Some wet-use posts also have antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. The choice between dry-use and wet-use posts depends on the specific environment and cleaning practices. Both types are available from 3G Electric with detailed specifications.

No, leveling feet are not included with QUANTUM shelving posts. The posts are sold as individual components, and leveling feet must be ordered separately if required. This allows buyers to customize their shelving systems based on floor conditions and stability needs. Some installations may not require leveling feet, such as when posts are used with casters or when the floor is perfectly level. For applications where leveling feet are necessary, they can be purchased as separate items. 3G Electric can provide information on compatible leveling feet and other accessories for QUANTUM shelving systems.

The quick-adjust feature on QUANTUM shelving posts allows shelf heights to be changed without the use of tools. The posts have numbered grooves or slots that accept shelf clips or split sleeves, enabling rapid repositioning of shelves. This is useful in environments where storage needs change frequently, as it reduces the time and effort required to reconfigure shelving. The quick-adjust design is available on many QUANTUM posts, including those with chrome and stainless steel finishes. It is distinct from the split-sleeve design, which also allows adjustment but may use a different mechanism. Both designs are intended to provide flexibility in shelving configuration.

QUANTUM wire shelving posts are made from steel or stainless steel. Dry-use posts typically have a chrome finish over steel, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant surface for indoor environments. Wet-use and antimicrobial posts are constructed from stainless steel, which offers greater resistance to moisture and chemicals. Some posts have a black finish, such as the antimicrobial posts, while others have a silver or chrome appearance. The material and finish affect the post's suitability for different environments. For example, stainless steel posts are often used in food service, healthcare, and laboratory settings where frequent cleaning and moisture exposure are common.

QUANTUM shelving posts are designed to work with QUANTUM wire shelving shelves and accessories. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed, as post diameters, groove spacing, and attachment mechanisms may vary. The posts have a 1-inch diameter, which is a common size for wire shelving, but the quick-adjust or split-sleeve design may be specific to QUANTUM. For best results, use QUANTUM posts with QUANTUM shelves and components. If cross-compatibility is required, verify the specifications of both the posts and shelves. 3G Electric can provide detailed dimensions and part numbers to assist with compatibility checks.
