Help to choose shelves for new lab.
(1/1)
FriedMule:
I am about to invest in shelves for mostly old and some new-ish gear.
I have a 6 x 3 feet table and want shelves over that.
Some of my big old gear, demands 12 inch + 4 inch space behind, so a total of 16 inch deep and is 19 inch wide.
I have a stone wall to mount the system on, but floor standing is also possible.
The max weight is hard to answer, you know that gear has a tendency to just appear without you knowing where it came from;-)

I started this topic a while back in test equipment, might be some good suggestions.
FriedMule:
Thanks for the link. It looks like a normal rack system was the main focus.
I hope to get my 2 meter x 1 meter table to be up against the wall, beneath the shelves. Do you think that it is great solution for that also?
0culus:
I don't know. I am still looking for a house right now, so I don't yet know what space I will have. I was primarily trying to gather ideas.

Whatever you do, make sure it is properly braced for the weight you want to put on it. A month or so ago, another member had a catastrophic failure that dumped a number of very difficult to replace bits of vintage computers onto his bench and the floor.
FriedMule:
WOW!! That's sad to hear, have you heard more?
I'll defntly remember to check that it can take the load, maybe a solution like Daves is the best, but where do I get that, and what is it called in English?
