Abstract: A shelving system designed to fit within the confines of a transport vehicle and including side wall sections forming a vertical and horizontal framework. The vertical sections contain a series of bolt holes for bolting through of both angle shaped and pocket shaped supports. The bolt holes provide for incremental vertical adjustment of the position of both of these types of supports. The pocket shaped supports are used to support telescopically adjustable load support bars. The angle shaped supports are used to support planking that functions as a shelf for merchandise in the vehicle.
