LOCKING
PIN HOLE
NOTE:
It is recommended for one person to hold the upright frames in place while a second person installs
the crossbeams.
1. There is a set of locking tabs at both ends of every crossbeam. To begin assembly, take one crossbeam
and insert the tabs into two of the holes on the lower portion of one upright frame. Engage the locking
tabs into the holes using a downward motion. The locking pin hole should be at the top. Make sure the
end of the crossbeam is flush against the upright frame. (Fig. 3)
2. Repeat for the opposite side of the upright frame. Tap the ends of the crossbeam closest to the upright
frames with a rubber mallet until fully seated. The crossbeam and locking tabs should easily slip into
place. If they do not, then recheck the alignment of the teardrop-shaped holes and tabs. Too much
force may damage the interlock between the crossbeam and upright frame. (Fig. 4)
3. Using the methods listed above, install another crossbeam to the opposite side of the upright frames,
parallel to the first crossbeam you installed. Make sure both crossbeams are at the same level.
4. Continue by installing the middle and top sets of crossbeams to the upright frames. Make sure
the crossbeams are attached at the same level on both sides (Fig. 5). If you plan to stack another
DXST4500 Industrial Rack on top, then DO NOT attach the third set of crossbeams to the very top of
the upright frames. See Stacking Instructions.

NOTE:
There are two (2) safety straps with weld nuts and three (3) shelf support straps on every set
of crossbeams. (Fig. 6)
1. Starting with the lowest set of crossbeams, place a safety strap with weld nut between the lower ridges of
the crossbeams where two sets of holes have been pre-drilled. Thread a safety strap bolt up through the
bottom of the pre-drilled holes and through the weld nuts, and fully tighten with the included hex key or drill
bit. Repeat for the second strap on this set of crossbeams, and continue for the last four straps. (Fig. 7)
2. Place a shelf support strap perpendicular to the crossbeams, and insert each end into the slots on each
ridge of the crossbeam. Repeat for the remaining eight straps. (Fig. 8)
NOTE:
Each wire grid consists of two sides – a “short” side and “long” side. If you plan on sliding objects
on and off of the shelf from the front of the rack, then we recommend having the “short” side of the grid
facing upward. If you plan on sliding objects from the side of the rack, then we recommend having the
“long” side facing upward.
1. Place the wire grids onto the top ridge of all sets of crossbeams. If seated properly, the grids will “pop”
into place and lay evenly. (Fig. 12)
2. Place a locking grid clip at the outermost corner of the shelf. Make sure the rolled edge with the groove
is facing upwards. (Fig. 13)
3. With one hand, apply pressure to the back of the clip. With your free hand, insert a flat-head screwdriver
(not included) into the small slot in the clip to spread the tine up and over the wire that is underneath.
4. Pull back on the screwdriver. The grooved channel in the clip should now match up with the wire
decking, which will help secure it to the shelf beam.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 the remaining three corners of the wire grid, and then again for all the remaining shelves.
6. There is a locking pin hole at both ends of every crossbeam. This is where the locking shelf pins are to
be installed. If a pin does not easily slip into place, then moderately tap the end of the crossbeam to
fully seat the locking tabs. (Fig. 14)
NOTE:
Every DXST4500-W Industrial Rack comes with two (2) stacking plates. In order to safely stack two
of these racks together, you MUST use four (4) of these plates.
NOTE:
It is recommended that one person holds the upright frames in place while a second person installs
the stacking plates.
1. Assemble the second set of upright frames by following the Expandable Upright Frame Instructions.
2. Using a screwdriver and rubber mallet, remove all four black caps from the bottom of the newly
assembled upright frames. This will now become the top rack. Remove all four black caps from the top
of the fully assembled rack. This will now become the bottom rack. (Fig. 15)
3. Line up and place an upright frame on top of one side of the fully assembled rack. Be sure the hole
patterns are going in the same direction. The stacking brackets feature a top and bottom set of locking
tabs. Engage the top set of tabs into the very bottom of the vertical beam and the bottom set of locking
tabs into the very top of the upright frame. Use the same downward motion to attach these brackets as
you did for the crossbeams. The locking pin holes on the bracket should be at the bottom. Repeat for
the remaining three stacking brackets. (Fig. 15)
4. Insert the locking shelf pins into the open pin holes on the brackets. Assemble the remaining pieces of
the top rack by following the previous instructions. (Fig. 1-14)

Serious injury or death can occur from the rack tipping over. To prevent this, the rack
must be secured to a wall, especially in earthquake -prone areas, or where surfaces are uneven, and where
children and/or pets are present.
Different wall materials require different types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable for your specific type of
wall. If you are uncertain about what type of fastener to use, then please contact your local hardware store.
Drywall anchors and anchor screws are included with this rack; however, different wall materials require
different types of fasteners. Use fasteners suitable for your specific type of wall. If you are uncertain about
what type of fasteners to use, then please contact your local hardware store.
1. Take the U-shaped bracket and rock it up at an angle to attach it to the bottom inner channel of the
crossbeam. Once attached, the back portion will sit flush against the inside of the crossbeam. (Fig. 9)
2. Once attached, the U-shaped bracket can be moved from side to side (in between the two safety
straps). This allows for it to be attached to a 2 x 4 in the wall. (Fig. 10)
3. The L-shaped bracket has two sets of four square holes that allow you to adjust the distance of the
rack to the wall. Use two carriage bolts and two 10 mm nuts to attach the L-shaped bracket to the
bottom of the U-shaped bracket. (Fig. 11)
4. Position the rack so the flat end of the L-shaped bracket is touching the wall. Use a pencil to mark
the location of the four holes on the wall. Use the included drywall anchors, anchor screws, and the
appropriate tools if you’re securing the rack to drywall only. Be sure to follow standard instructions for
installing anchor screws. (Fig. 11)
WARNING:

WALT Storage Options
NOTE:
• Connect multiple racks together to increase both length and height.
• Additional racks are sold separately.
4. Swing out the bottom horizontal beam, and insert it into the U-shaped bracket at the bottom of the
opposing vertical beam. Thread a vertical assembly bolt through the holes and into the weld nut. Do not
fully tighten the bolt. (Fig. 2)
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 to assemble the second upright frame. Once both are assembled, fully tighten the
bolts on all four corners. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts; there should be no deformation of the
U-shaped brackets and/or horizontal beams.
