FAQs
Are the shelving brackets included with the uprights?
No, the ProSolve Twin Slot Shelving Uprights are sold separately from the shelving brackets. You will need to purchase compatible medium or heavy-duty 'U' brackets.
What is the weight capacity of these uprights?
The weight capacity is dependent on the strength of the wall fixings used, the type of wall, and importantly, the specific 'U' brackets chosen. Always consult the specifications for your chosen brackets and ensure your wall can support the load.
Can I cut these uprights to a shorter length?
While technically possible with appropriate metal cutting tools, cutting the uprights is not recommended as it may affect the integrity of the finish and the 'Shelf-Lok' slot system.
What type of screws and wall plugs should I use?
The type of screws and wall plugs depends entirely on your wall construction (e.g., plasterboard, brick, concrete). We recommend consulting a local hardware professional or using fixings specifically designed for your wall type and the intended load.
How do I clean the anti-microbial coating?
Clean the uprights with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the coating.
How many uprights do I need for a single shelving unit?
Typically, two uprights are required to support a single shelf. The number of uprights needed will depend on the length of your shelves and the overall configuration you are building.
Troubleshooting
Uprights feel unstable after installation.
Ensure that appropriate wall fixings have been used for the wall type and that they are fully tightened. Check that the uprights are plumb before final tightening.
Brackets do not fit securely into the slots.
Verify that you are using compatible ProSolve 'Shelf-Lok' brackets designed for this upright system. Ensure no debris is obstructing the slots.
Difficulty in aligning multiple uprights evenly.
Use a spirit level to ensure each upright is perfectly vertical. Measure the distance between uprights at the top and bottom to confirm they are parallel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
