The only shelving guaranteed never to collapse.
You should never need to start the day with a shelving nightmare like this.
We are so confident in our design and safety testing that we believe Metro shelving is far superior to any clip-on shelf systems.

Strength is in our corner.
Why clip-on shelf systems are known to collapse.
Clip-on shelf systems have
demonstrated deficiencies with
complex assembly and numerous
attachment points. Heavy-loads,
and mobile applications exacerbate
these design flaws and may
result in unit collapse.
- Clip-on shelf systems engage only part of the upright, not 360˚ capture
- Shelf frames are not one-piece but separate loose lateral beams.
- Often requires special reinforcements such as reinforced mobile shelves, dunnage stands (“crutches”), or wall braces.


Here’s why mobile applications
plague clip-on shelf systems.
Metro has the versatility to be used in stationary, mobile, track and heavy-duty applications without requiring reinforcements such as special mobile shelves, crutches or wall braces.
- Heavy loads place incredible pressure on clip-on shelf attachment points and often crack and collapse when pushed over thresholds
