Static Shelving

4-post and case-style shelving, pallet rack, cantilever, and industrial metal shelving. The simplest, most economical way to organize a storage area.

Static shelving is fixed-position shelving used to organize everything from files and archives to palletized and oversized loads. It stands on the floor without rails or carriages, which makes it the fastest storage win in most facilities.

4-post and case-style shelving is completely customizable with dividers, drawers, and doors for files, records, and general storage. Pallet rack handles exceptionally large and heavy loads. Cantilever suits libraries, education, and corporate settings. Industrial metal shelving holds up to 600 pounds per shelf for parts and supplies.

Most projects combine more than one type, and many 4-post systems can move onto mobile carriages later when space runs out. We plan for that upgrade path from the start.

Frequently asked questions

What types of static shelving does O'Brien Systems offer?

We offer 4-post and case-style shelving for files, records, and general storage; pallet rack for exceptionally large and heavy palletized loads; cantilever shelving suited to education and corporate settings; and industrial metal shelving for parts and supplies. Most projects combine more than one type, and the right mix is determined during a free site assessment.

How much weight can static shelving hold?

Capacity depends on the shelving type, shelf size, and configuration. Industrial metal shelving on this line holds up to 600 pounds per shelf, while pallet rack is engineered for much heavier palletized loads. We size shelf gauge, spans, and uprights to what you actually store and confirm loads during the site assessment.

Can static shelving be reconfigured or moved later?

Yes. 4-post and case-style systems are designed to be disassembled and reassembled, so shelving can move with a department or be reconfigured as needs change. We perform teardown, relocation, and reinstallation as a service, including for shelving we did not originally supply.

Can static shelving be converted to high-density mobile storage later?

Often, yes. Many 4-post shelving systems can be mounted on mobile carriages down the road, which lets you buy shelving now and compact it when space runs out. Planning for that upgrade path at initial purchase keeps the option open.

What determines the cost of a shelving project?

The main factors are shelving type and gauge, the number of sections, height and shelf count, accessories such as dividers and doors, and installation conditions. Because static shelving is modular, projects can be phased, starting with the highest-need areas and adding sections later.
