* Work Station
Tools Required for Rack Assembly:
4 mm Hex Key (included) OR 4 mm Hex Bit (included); Rubber
Mallet (not included), Flat-Head Screwdriver (not included)
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
• Read all instructions thoroughly.
• Remove all components from the box, and lay them on the floor in an orderly fashion.
• Wear eye protection.
• Be cautious of sharp edges.
• Keep this information for further reference.
• If you are not stacking a second rack at this time, then please store the Stacking Plates for potential
future use as they will be needed.
WARNING:
Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from rack tipping over. To prevent this, the
assembled rack must always be secured to a wall, especially in earthquake-prone environments, where
surfaces are uneven, and where children and/or pets are present.
Expandable Upright Frame Instructions (Fig. 1-2)
NOTE:
For ease of assembly, two (2) vertical beams feature pre-bolted horizontal and diagonal beams, as
well as pre-attached U-bracket covers.
1. Place one (1) vertical beam and one (1) pre-bolted vertical beam on the floor, parallel to one another
(about 18"/45.7 cm apart). The widest part of the teardrop-shaped hole pattern on each beam should
be facing upward (or away from you). (Fig. 1)
2. There are two versions of the U-bracket covers - an “A” side and a “B” side. Before moving forward,
cover the U-shaped brackets on the vertical beam with the covers by mirroring the covers on the pre-
bolted vertical assembly.
3. Insert the free end of the diagonal beam into the free end of the horizontal beam. Align the holes, and
insert both beams into the U-shaped bracket at the top of the opposing vertical beam. Use the included
hex key or drill bit to thread the vertical assembly bolt through the holes and into the weld nut attached
to the U-shaped bracket. Do not fully tighten the bolt yet. (Fig. 2)
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 three remaining upright frames. Once all 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.

Crossbeam Installation (Fig. 3-5)
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. Repeat the previous steps for installing crossbeams spaced four slots from the top of the rack
upright frames. (Fig. 5)

Drawer Assembly (Fig. 6-9)
NOTE:
This fold up drawer is designed to be placed under a shelf so that the shelf may act as the drawer top.
1. Open the fold up drawer and install the drawer pull by slipping it into the tabs on the inside of the fold
up drawer front. Secure it using the provided drawer carriage bolt and nut in the top corners of the fold
up drawer. Make sure the nuts are inside of the fold up drawer. (Fig. 6)
2. Using the remaining drawer carriage bolts and nuts, secure the top corners of the fold up drawer on the
opposite side of the drawer pull. (Fig. 7)
3.
NOTE:
Ensure that the drawer slides open to the front of the rack.
Install the mounting brackets with the drawer slides onto the rack with six slots spaced from the top
of the vertical beams. This will be directly underneath the top set of crossbeams that were installed
previously. This is done by positioning the mounting bracket with drawer slides on the inside edge of
the rack uprights. Slide down the mounting bracket with drawer slides to seat them properly. Make
sure both brackets are level with one another before proceeding. Then, the hardware on the mounting
brackets can be tightened. (Fig. 8)
4.
NOTE:
Ensure mounting brackets with drawer slides are level before installing the fold up drawer.
Have a helper assist with the install of the fold up drawer onto the drawer slides.
Slide the guides on the fold up drawer into the rails on the mounting bracket: there should be a distinct
click when the guides have seated properly. (Fig. 8)
5. To secure the brackets to the rack’s uprights, install the locking pins into the mounting bracket with
drawer slides. (Fig. 9)

Shelf Support and Safety Strap Instructions (Fig. 10-12)
1. Each set of crossbeams will need to have (3) shelf support straps and (2) safety straps installed.
2. Starting with the lowest set of crossbeams, place a safety strap 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 this process for the second strap for this set of crossbeams. (Fig. 10)
3. For each set of crossbeams, place a shelf support strap perpendicular to the crossbeams, and insert
each end into the slots on each ridge of the crossbeams. (Fig. 11)

Wall Mounting Instructions (Fig. 13-15)
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. There is one wall mount bracket assembly to be used to secure the Work Station. Install the wall mount
bracket assembly on the backside of the crossbeam right above the pull out drawer.
2. 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. 13)
3. 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. 14)
4. 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. 15)
