Stand the uprights vertically. Install the proper front and rear beams at the top and
bottom of each pair of uprights until all intermediate units are complete. Repeat step
one, then finish the row using this final row end upright. Verify that all beams are
oriented properly and fully seated.
3) Install Intermediate Beams and Additional Features
Install any intermediate beams, support ties, shelf supports, foot plates, and other
accessories as needed/requested. Verify that beams are situated at the desired
locations, oriented properly, and fully seated.
4) Install All Shelf Surfaces
These, which may or may not be furnished by Bilt, are generally composed of steel,
particle board, or wire mesh. The size of the shelf surface should equal the nominal
unit size width and depth. Space limitations for atypical projects may require
completion of this step as each row of shelves, instead of units, is assembled.
Refer to Basic Connection Details below for further instruction.
Beam to Post (Including Rivet Tab Hang Rod)
a) Align the rivets of a beam or rivet tab hang rod with the
enlarged end of the slots in a post.
b) To start the rivet shoulder into the narrow portion of the
post slots, push the rivet heads through the post's slots
and downward.
c) Using a rawhide or rubber mallet, tap the top edge of
the beam until all rivets are fully seated in slots. Beams
must be oriented as shown on previous page.
Support Tie to Double Rivet or Channel Beam
a) Align the holes in the end of a support tie with the
holes in the face of a beam. Attach each end with two
10-24 by 1 /2" bolts and nuts.
Tie Plate to Post
a) Align the rivets in a tie plate with the slots in the
adjoining posts. Assemble based on the same
instructions as those for beam to post connections.
