Legal File Shelving

Our legal file shelving is designed to store legal-size end tab file folders, case files, and legal documents. These adjustable steel shelving units will also accommodate record boxes, books, notebooks, and supplies. The legal storage units are available in single-sided wall units and double-sided freestanding units.

Shelving units are sold as "starters" and "adders" or "add-on" units. "Adder" units are designed to connect to "starter" units to reduce costs.

The first unit of a shelving row needs to be a "starter" unit (adder or add-on units connect to the starter unit). "Adder" units will not stand alone and must be connected to a "starter" unit.

If you want complete flexibility to move units around in the future, we recommend purchasing all "starter" units.

• Vertical side panels (uprights) are closed metal panels made of heavy-duty 18-gauge steel.
• Shelves are adjustable vertically on 1.5" increments. Additional shelves are available on request.
• Shelves are supported with two heavy-duty shelf supports. Shelf reinforcements are provided depending on the size of the shelf.
• Single-sided units have backstops on each storage level to connect vertical support dividers. Double-sided units have a centerstop in the middle of the shelf to connect support dividers and keep materials from pushing through to the other side.
• Each shelf will hold at least 250 lbs with a total shelving unit weight capacity of 1,500 lbs. Weight capacities are based on evenly distributed, non-impact loads.
• Single-sided units have one 2.75" high bottom kickplate (base). Double-sided units have two 2.75" high bottom kickplates (bases). These prevent objects from rolling under the unit.

Starter and Adder Units

• The first unit of a shelving row needs to be a "starter unit" (adder units connect to starter units). An adder unit will not stand alone and must connect to a starter unit.
• Starter units come with two closed side panels (uprights), and adder units come with open-type uprights.
• Shelves connect to one side of the starter unit's uprights (shelves connect to both sides of the adder unit's uprights).
• If you want complete flexibility to move units around in the future, you can purchase all starter units.
• Single-sided units are designed to stand against a wall.
• Double-sided units are designed to stand in the middle of a room.
