Regardless of your exact business, the products you need to store, or the applications you’re looking to meet, picking the right industrial shelving solution can be overwhelming. With so many kinds of units and systems available, it’s no surprise that the right rack can be tricky to choose. At New Era, our experienced team can help devise the perfect variety of shelves for your unique requirements.
What is rivet shelving?
Rivet rack shelving, sometimes known as boltless shelving, features easy access on all sides of the shelving units. You’re probably familiar with this kind of shelving already – it is especially common in basements and garages. Picture a metal frame with posts at each corner, front and back, creating an open rectangle with a wire or particle board floor between each level. That’s rivet shelving.
Rivet shelving assembly is pretty straightforward, and you can create many vertical levels to create an efficient, space saving, and versatile series of shelving units that perfectly suit your needs.
How to find the right rivet system for you
Before you can start looking at optimizing your storage organization, you must first invest in the right shelving units. There are a lot of factors to keep in mind when considering rivet shelving. From considering decking needs to the sizes of beams, bins, and carts in your warehouse and how shelving will fit around them, here are some things to think about before choosing your shelf system.
Space
How much space does your warehouse have? This is one of the most important factors to consider. Do you need to accommodate an office in the space, or is it all dedicated to inventory? Measure each wall to determine the width and depth of the area as well as the height to help you better visualize the storage applications you can realistically fit in the area.
The type of rivet shelving you select is highly dependent on the overall size of the warehouse floor. Some decking options, along with the structure of the shelves themselves, better suit large warehouses, for example, and if you have only a little space to spare, you probably want to look at smaller rivet beams and maybe even some compact lockers to fill in the space.
Weight
What kind of items are you storing? The shelf capacity and the load it must routinely support will inform the kind of rivet shelving that works for you. A rivet rack when a higher load capacity offers more stability but takes up more space than light item storage. Keep weight in mind when thinking about the size of your space and the feasibility of adding in even more containers.
Higher capacities sometimes need double or triple rivets systems, too, and sometimes you just don’t have the space to match the necessary load capacity. You can still invest in rivet components, but you might need to chat with the experts first.
Style
The good news about rivet shelving is that the structure can fit in a variety of different spaces. You don’t have to stick them in a warehouse or a garage. On the contrary, you can pick materials that allow the shelves to fit in with your home style, be it modern and contemporary, chic and farmhouse inspired, rustic, or minimalistic in design. From particle board shelves to wooden decking, rivet systems are highly functional and sleek.
Rivet shelving is sturdy, easy to install, and manages to provide heavy duty support without giving up a stylish appearance. Whether you need a single unit or are looking for any number of shelves, rivet shelving might be right for you.
