Single Rivet vs. Double Rivet Shelving: which do you need?
What to Specify; When to Specify it
Rivet Rite Units come in two basic types: Single Rivet Units and Double Rivet Units. These utilize different combinations of beam types.
Double Rivet Bulk Storage Units
- Typical Double Rivet Configuration
- 48" to 96" wide beamsĀ
- Access to stored items from all sides
- Choice of beam capacity to meet your storage requirement.
- Double Rivet Angle Beam: (Standard Duty): Used to establish unit stability and to provide shelf support on all four sides.
- Double Rivet Angle Beam: (Heavy Duty): Provides stability and increased load capacity in the longer lengths.
- Double Rivet Channel Beam: Designed to provide maximum left to right stability and higher capacity than standard or heavy-duty beams. Cannot be used at floor level.
- Use of Center Supports to hold higher capacity loads
- Easy assembly without special tools
- Units available in 84" and 120" heights
Rivet Rite bulky shelving is designed to provide an economical solution for the storage of retail, wholesale or industrial goods. Installation can be done without special tools in a minimum amount of time.
Single Rivet High Density Storage Units
Single Rivet high density shelving uses single rivet beams on intermediate levels, and double rivet beams at the top and bottom for rigidity. For units up to 48" wide. Single rivet units typically offer less capacity and more accessibility than double rivet units do.
- Typical Single Rivet Configuration
- High Density Shelf Beams provide maximum space between shelf levels. Primarily used as an intermediate shelf support when the maximum clear vertical space between levels is needed.
- Common tee posts between starter and add-on unit
- Shelf levels adjust on 1-1/2" centers
- Fast easy assembly
- Optional heavy duty single rivet shelf beams available for added capacity
Access to stored items from all sides of the shelving unit is possible because side and back cross braces are not necessary for. Add-on units assemble quickly without special tools by using a common tee post between units. Finished in 723 Light Putty baked enamel.
