ASSEMBLY OF Q LINE INDUSTRIAL SHELVING
2. Q Line uprights come in three different styles, as
shown below:
These three upright styles may be used in
several different combinations. In order to better
understand these instructions, please examine the
following configurations to determine which type
of installation you will be assembling:
Offset
Angle Post
(OAP)
Standard
Beaded Post
(BTP)
A. Single unit with
four Offset Angle Posts
B. Two or more units with four
Offset Angle Posts each
D. Two or more units using Standard or
Heavy Beaded Posts in front.
C. Single unit with two
Offset Angle Posts in rear and
two Standard or Heavy Beaded Posts in front.
1. The reference numbers used throughout this
sheet refer to the illustration on the back cover.
This is to help you to identify the various parts as
they are mentioned. NOTE: Number of shelves
per unit varies depending on unit purchased.
4. Attach the two side sway braces (Ref. Nos.
2a or 2b), beginning in the 20th hole from the
top of each upright (approximately 20" from
the top), using two 1 / 4
-20 x 5 / 8
bolts and nuts
(Ref. No. 6). The side sway braces attach
to the longer side of the uprights (the
side with two sets of holes). Bolt the braces
into the small holes near the edge of the
uprights as shown in circles at below. Note
the hole pattern of two round holes and then
one square hole, repeating every 3", which
should help facilitate proper placement of the
bolts. Finger tighten only
at this point.
3. Create the right side of the shelving units by
laying two uprights side by side on a flat
surface. Be sure that the short side of the
OAP upright(s) (Ref. No. 1a) is facing up, as
shown in Figure 3A.
(If your unit will use BTP or HBP uprights in
the front (Ref. Nos. 1b or 1c), be sure to
select the proper upright and that the open
edge is facing the OAP upright, as shown
below in Figure 3B.)
3a
3b OAP in back;
BTP in front
IMPORTANT: One side of the upright is longer
than the other, and contains two sets of holes.
When laying the uprights side by side, this
long side should be flat on the floor, and the
short side should be pointing into
the air.
