Boltless Shelving & Rivet Storage Systems in Ohio (New & Used)

Boltless Shelving Solutions for Warehouses and Industrial Storage

Boltless shelving systems provide a flexible, fast-assembly storage solution for warehouses, stockrooms, and industrial facilities throughout Ohio. Midwest Material Handling supplies new and used boltless shelving designed to support high load capacities without the need for nuts or bolts. Often referred to as rivet shelving, these systems adjust easily as storage needs change and support a wide range of applications, including tire storage, parts organization, and archival record storage. Boltless shelving offers strength, adaptability, and long-term performance for demanding storage environments.

What Is Boltless (Rivet) Shelving?

Boltless shelving, commonly known as rivet shelving, uses a simple yet strong design that connects shelves to uprights using rivets and keyhole slots. This design eliminates the need for bolts, nuts, or complex hardware, allowing shelving units to assemble quickly with minimal tools.

Because shelves adjust easily and components interchange across configurations, boltless shelving works well in environments where layouts change frequently. Warehouses, maintenance areas, parts rooms, and back-of-house storage spaces often rely on boltless shelving for its balance of strength and flexibility.

Common Applications for Boltless Shelving

In many warehouse and industrial environments, boltless shelving supports flexible storage needs across multiple applications. Boltless shelving is commonly used in warehouses, stockrooms, maintenance areas, and parts departments where flexibility and durability matter. Many facilities rely on these systems for tire storage, battery rack configurations and archival record storage, thanks to adjustable shelf spacing and high load capacity. Operations also use boltless shelving in tool cribs, back-of-house storage, and light industrial environments where layouts change frequently. The boltless design allows teams to reconfigure shelving quickly as inventory levels, product types, or storage requirements evolve.

Industrial Boltless Shelving for Warehouse Use

Industrial boltless shelving supports heavier loads than traditional light-duty shelving while maintaining a clean, open design. Shelves typically rest on reinforced beams or angles, allowing each level to handle substantial weight depending on size and configuration.

This style of shelving provides clear visibility and easy access to stored items, which helps improve picking efficiency and organization. Many facilities choose boltless shelving when they need durable storage that installs quickly and adapts easily to changing inventory requirements.

Tire Rack Shelving Applications

Boltless shelving also serves as an effective solution for tire rack shelving in automotive, fleet, and distribution environments. Open shelving designs allow tires to store horizontally or vertically while maintaining airflow and visibility.

Because boltless shelving systems adjust easily, tire storage layouts can change as inventory volumes fluctuate. This flexibility makes boltless shelving a practical option for seasonal tire storage, service departments, and warehouse tire distribution.

Battery Rack Storage Solutions

Boltless shelving systems can be configured as battery rack storage for facilities that store industrial batteries used in forklifts, material handling equipment, and backup power systems. Reinforced boltless shelving frames support the concentrated weight of batteries while allowing flexible shelf spacing to accommodate different battery sizes and formats.

Battery rack configurations often include added support channels, shelf liners, or containment options to improve stability and protect equipment. Because boltless shelving assembles without bolts, these systems allow fast installation and easy reconfiguration as battery inventories change. Battery rack shelving works well in maintenance areas, charging rooms, and warehouse support spaces where durability and accessibility matter.

Archival Record and File Storage Shelving

Boltless shelving systems work well for archival record storage shelving in offices, healthcare facilities, schools, and government buildings. Adjustable shelves support storage boxes, file containers, and document cartons while keeping records organized and accessible.

Open shelving allows quick visual identification, while optional shelf liners or accessories improve support for smaller containers. These systems provide a cost-effective and durable solution for long-term records retention.

Wire and Chrome Shelving Options

In addition to boltless shelving, we offer wire shelving and chrome shelving systems for applications that benefit from airflow, visibility, and lighter-duty storage. Wire shelving supports organization in clean environments, parts rooms, and back-of-house storage areas where moisture control and visibility are important.

Chrome shelving provides a clean, professional appearance and works well in light industrial, medical, food service, and archival environments. These shelving systems adjust easily and support a wide range of accessories, making them a versatile complement to boltless shelving in mixed-use storage areas.
