Types Of Slotted Angles
| Finish | Powder Coated |
| Dimension | 40mm X 40mm X Thickness ( For light to medium duty) 60mm X 40mm X Thickness ( For medium to heavy duty) 80mm X 40mm X Thickness ( For heavy to Industrial duty) |

| Std. Length | 1800mm, 2000mm, 2100mm, 2200mm, 2500mm |
Q. What Factors Determine the Capacity of the Shelf?
1. Mild Steel thickness (gauge): Lower gauge = thicker steel = higher capacity.
2. Shelf span: A 3ft shelf holds more than a 4ft shelf of the same gauge.
3. Number of shelves: More shelves distribute weight better across uprights angles in a slotted angle rack.
Q. What Did We Learn In Our 30 years experience?
