One of the most time consuming aspects of assembling shelving is dealing with the nuts, bolts, clips, dowels or screws that are often involved. These small but vital items may get lost or damaged while unpacking the shelving or when putting it together. Or the supplier may have given you the wrong ones, a fact that you only discover surrounded by shelves and their supporting apparatus strewn across the floor. There are many fiddly jobs in this world, but putting shelving up while dealing with these pesky little attachment items must be one of the fiddliest there is.

So when people with experience of this kind of hassle hear of boltless shelving for the first time, it seems like a miracle, divine intervention and a technological breakthrough all wrapped together. How can this be possible, they ask? Well it's all down to good design. Boltless shelving uses the inherent springiness in metal, which means that two pieces that are meant to be fastened together can have a clip structure built into each piece. When the pieces are brought together, usually with a little helpful persuasion from a rubber mallet, they click together into one nicely connected piece. And when you have a number of pieces all clipped in this way, you get a bracing effect. All the connected parts support each other and flex against each other to give a proper solid structure without the need for any other kind of fixing device. So there you have it.

Boltless shelving, also known as rivet shelving, rivet rack, wide span rack, double rivet shelving. This wonderful invention provides a major boost to the home DIYer and all kinds of business, small and large.

Like regular shelving, it is available with shelves made of particle board, sheet metal or wire, depending on its intended use and the environment it will be in. For instance, fire regulations may rule out particle board, so wire or sheet metal will be used in these cases.

Imagine the time you'd save putting one of these up in your garage, and then multiply that with the prospect of a massive warehouse or factory. Time is money, and you can therefore see the massive cost savings in terms of labour that boltless shelving offers. This convenience also makes boltless shelving attractive for office buildings. Here there may not be a handyman available and you're relying on office workers without a toolkit of spanners and screwdrivers to install the shelving. Management won't want them diverted from their office tasks for too long, so the fast assembly offered by boltless shelving is very attractive. The same goes for laboratories where there's a need for storing glassware, samples and specimens efficiently. Public facilities like schools, colleges and museums often have a major need for an efficient storage system, and here boltless shelving really helps. Supermarkets are a very large user of boltless shelving systems. You will see this in the shopping area to hold a wide array of items. And if you go behind the scenes where items are stored in bulk, you will see row upon row of boxes of products, all stored with the ease and efficiency of boltless shelving.
