Little Giant 5SHC-3048-72 Heavy-Duty Welded Steel Shelving with 3-Sided Retaining Lips 

Engineered for strength, stability, and safety, this unit sets the standard for heavy-duty industrial shelving. Each of its four shelves is constructed from 12-gauge reinforced steel, providing a 2000 lb capacity per shelf for reliable support of heavy tools, parts, and bulk materials.

A 1.5-inch retaining lip on the sides and back keeps stored items from shifting or falling, while the flush front edge allows smooth, unobstructed access. The 2” x 2” x 3/16” corner angles include footpads with 5/8” anchor holes, offering maximum stability and the option to secure the unit to the floor.

The all-welded steel construction eliminates the need for assembly, so it arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use right out of the crate.
