TENNSCO

Tennsco is a manufacturer of industrial storage and workspace equipment, with a product history rooted in the mid-20th century American metalworking industry. The company is known for boltless shelving systems, bulk storage racks, workbenches, lockers, and related accessories. Its product lines are commonly specified in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and maintenance shops where modular, load-rated storage is required. Tennsco's catalog includes shelving units with particleboard, steel, or wire decking; heavy-duty boltless racks with capacities up to several thousand pounds per shelf; and a range of cabinet and locker hardware such as keyed cam locks. The brand's construction standards emphasize powder-coated steel frames, zinc-plated beams, and interchangeable components that allow starter and add-on units to be combined into continuous runs. 3G Electric supplies Tennsco products as part of its industrial equipment distribution portfolio, offering global shipping and technical support for buyers specifying storage systems. The product range available through 3G Electric includes over 970 SKUs, covering shelf kits, decking options, workbench risers, and logistics accessories. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, Tennsco's boltless design allows assembly without specialized tools, using a tab-and-slot connection that speeds reconfiguration. Load capacities vary by model: for example, particleboard decking shelf kits for boltless shelving are rated to 500 lb, while open deck steel shelf kits can carry up to 1,250 lb, and bulk rack shelf kits reach 4,150 lb. Heavy-duty wire decking boltless shelving units are available in footprints such as 84 in x 18 in, 84 in x 36 in, 84 in x 42 in, and 96 in x 42 in, with overall heights of 84 in and three shelves per unit. These units feature closed starter side panels, channel or angle beam profiles, and powder-coated gray finishes. Accessories like keyed cam locks (e.g., CL-1) are constructed from brass with a chrome-plated finish and are available in keyed-different configurations for cabinets, lockers, and enclosures. 3G Electric supports the Tennsco line by maintaining inventory across these SKUs, providing specification assistance, and coordinating international delivery. The product data includes UNSPSC classifications, manufacturer part numbers, and dimensional details to aid procurement and integration with existing storage layouts. For technical buyers, the key considerations are decking material (particleboard, steel, wire), beam profile (channel or angle), load rating, and whether a starter or add-on unit is required. Tennsco's modular approach means that add-on units can be attached to starter units to extend shelving runs without additional side panels. This is particularly relevant in distribution centers where storage needs change frequently. The powder-coated finishes resist chipping and corrosion in indoor industrial environments. Wire decking improves visibility and reduces dust accumulation compared to solid decks, while particleboard decking offers a flat surface for smaller items. Steel decking provides the highest durability for heavy loads. 3G Electric's catalog includes shelf kits that bundle beams and decking, as well as individual components for replacement or expansion. The keyed cam locks are a small but critical part of the offering, used to secure cabinets and lockers in shared or restricted areas. Overall, Tennsco products supplied by 3G Electric address the need for adaptable, load-rated storage in industrial settings, with a focus on boltless assembly and component interchangeability.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about TENNSCO from 3G Electric.

What is the load capacity of Tennsco boltless shelving units?

Load capacity varies by model and decking type. Tennsco particleboard decking shelf kits for boltless shelving are rated to 500 lb per shelf. Open deck steel shelf kits carry up to 1,250 lb. Bulk rack shelf kits with particleboard decking are rated to 4,150 lb. Heavy-duty wire decking boltless shelving units are available in multiple footprints, and capacity depends on beam profile and shelf size. Always verify the specific model's load rating before specifying for an application.

What is the difference between starter and add-on units in Tennsco boltless shelving?

A starter unit includes two side panels and can stand alone. An add-on unit includes one side panel and shares the other side with an adjacent starter or add-on unit. This allows continuous shelving runs without duplicating side panels. When ordering, specify whether you need a starter or add-on based on your layout. Tennsco add-on units are designed to attach to existing starter units using the same boltless connections.

What decking options are available for Tennsco shelving?

Tennsco shelving is available with particleboard, steel, or wire decking. Particleboard decking provides a flat, solid surface for small or loose items. Steel decking offers high durability for heavy loads. Wire decking improves visibility, reduces dust accumulation, and allows sprinkler water penetration. Decking is often sold as part of shelf kits that include beams and supports, or as separate components. The choice depends on load type, environment, and inspection requirements.

What are the dimensions of Tennsco heavy-duty wire decking boltless shelving?

Tennsco heavy-duty wire decking boltless shelving units are available in footprints including 84 in x 18 in, 84 in x 36 in, 84 in x 42 in, and 96 in x 42 in. Overall height is typically 84 in. These units include three shelves, a closed starter side panel, and either channel or angle beam profiles. The powder-coated gray finish is standard. Dimensions and shelf counts may vary by model, so confirm the specific SKU before ordering.

What is the Tennsco CL-1 keyed cam lock used for?

The Tennsco CL-1 is a keyed cam lock with a keyed-different configuration, meaning each lock requires a unique key. It is constructed from brass with a chrome-plated finish and an offset cam. It is used on cabinets, lockers, and enclosures where individual keying is required. The key code identifies which key opens a specific lock, so replacement locks must match the existing key code for compatibility. It is a hardware accessory for Tennsco storage products and similar enclosures.

How does 3G Electric support Tennsco product procurement?

3G Electric supplies Tennsco products globally, with over 970 SKUs available. Support includes specification assistance, dimensional and load data, and coordination of international shipping. The catalog includes shelf kits, decking, workbench risers, and locks, with manufacturer part numbers and UNSPSC codes for procurement systems. For technical buyers, 3G Electric can help identify compatible components for starter or add-on configurations and provide lead times for standard items.
