FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity per shelf support?
Each Emuca shelf support has a load capacity of 30kg. For stability, it is recommended to distribute weight evenly and use at least two supports per shelf.
Are the shelf boards included with the supports?
No, the shelf boards are not included. You will need to purchase a suitable board separately, with a recommended size of 600x200mm.
What type of screws are needed to attach the shelf to the support?
You will need wood screws (not included) to securely attach the shelf board to the horizontal arm of the support through the pre-drilled holes.
Can these supports be used on all types of walls?
Yes, they can be used on most wall types, provided you use appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific wall material. The included plugs are suitable for common wall types.
How many supports are needed for one shelf?
It is recommended to use a minimum of two supports per shelf for adequate stability and weight distribution.
What is the color and material of these shelf supports?
These shelf supports are made of steel and feature a black painted finish.
What are the dimensions of the holes for wall mounting?
The supports have two Ø6.8mm holes for fixing to the wall.
Troubleshooting
Shelf wobbles after installation
Ensure both supports are securely fastened to the wall. Check that the shelf board is properly seated on the supports and that it is level. Verify that the wall anchors (plugs) are suitable for your wall type and are fully inserted.
Screws do not tighten into the wall
The wall plugs may not be suitable for your wall material, or the holes may be too large. Try using different wall anchors designed for your specific wall type. Ensure you are using the correct size drill bit for the provided plugs.
Supports do not seem level
Use a spirit level to ensure precise alignment of the supports during the marking and drilling phase. If already installed, you may need to loosen the screws, adjust the position, and re-tighten.
Shelf board slips off the supports
Ensure the shelf board is securely fastened to the supports using wood screws. The triangular design helps, but the board must be fixed for maximum stability, especially if the shelf is not perfectly level or is subjected to movement.
