About Clipper Shelving
Clipper or Clip Type Shelving excels in the strength to weight ratio with the ability to store from 350 lbs up to 2,000 lbs per level. Each shelf begins as one sheet of metal that undergoes a state-of-the-art production process to end as one piece of roll-formed steel. The result is a lightweight product that has been reinforced with flanged edges. Box beam construction (a hollow, roll formed tube) adds strength to the front and back edges while the sides are double flanged for support. No additional support is required, but can be added to increase the weight capacity of each shelf.
The entire system is named after the small clip that hooks into the notches of the posts (also called uprights). Even though it is a very simple design, it creates a very secure connection, clipping each shelf directly to the post. All posts are notched on 1" centers, meaning that you can adjust the height of your shelf to suit your storage needs.
Types of Clipper Shelving
Though there are several different strengths of clipper shelving (medium duty, super heavy duty, etc), two main styles prevail: open shelving and closed shelving. Open clip type shelves are the more economical option, allowing you to store high volumes at low prices with visibility on all sides. However, sway braces are required to help reinforce the stability of each unit on the back and sides. You are still able to create a continuous row of metal shelving with the open style.
Closed clip type shelving is encased in metal panels on the back and sides, with the option of adding locking doors to the front. This type of enclosure is more secure and can help limit access to your stored goods. Metal panels also give this unit stability; bolting to the offset-angled uprights keeps the unit rigid. As with the open shelves, these units can be connected to create a continuous row of shelving, simply using panels on the outer ends. Each shelf comes with four compression shelf clips.
