Abstract: A shelf support beam for use in a shelving unit to support a shelf. The support beam includes a first end and a second end at opposite longitudinal ends of the shelf support beam between which a structural member extends. The structural member has a C-shaped cross-section and includes a web separating a top flange configured to support the shelf from a bottom flange. The support beam further includes a tab located at each of the first and second ends of the structural member. Each tab includes a pair of securing fingers that are angled relative to a plane disposed perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the shelf support beam such that each securing finger is angled inwardly toward a center of the structural member. The support beam further includes an enforcement tab formed in the web at each of the first and second ends of the structural member.

Abstract: A shelf support beam (80, 130, 200) for use in a shelving unit (10) to support a shelf (22). A structural member (82, 132, 202) has a C-shaped cross-section. A web (94, 144, 216) separates a top flange (96, 146, 220) from a bottom flange (112, 162, 234). The top flange (96, 146, 220) is configured to support the shelf (22). The web (94, 144, 216), the top flange (96, 146, 220), and the bottom flange (112, 162, 234) define a channel (92, 142, 214) of the member (82, 132, 202). The channel (92, 142, 214) defines a cavity height (C1, D1, E1). The top flange (96, 146, 220) and the bottom flange (112, 162, 234) define a top flange width (C2, D2, E2) and a bottom flange width (C3, D3, E3), respectively. A ratio of the cavity height (C1, D1, E1) to a sum of the top flange width (C2, D2, E2) and the bottom flange width (C3, D3, E3) is greater than 1, is at least 1.20, or is about 1.40. The C-shaped cross-section has a moment of inertia (98, 148, 238) of greater than 0.40, greater than 0.45, or at least 0.46.

A web (144) separates a top flange (146) from a bottom flange (162). The top flange (146) is configured to support the shelf (22). The web (144), the top flange (146), and the bottom flange (162) define a channel (142). The channel (142) defines a cavity height (D1). The top flange (146) and the bottom flange (162) define a top flange width (D2) and a bottom flange width (D3), respectively. A ratio of the cavity height (D1) to a sum of the top flange width (D2) and the bottom flange width (D3) is greater than 1.707 or greater than 1.8. The cross-section has a moment of inertia of greater than 0.0613 or at least 0.0617. The web (144) includes a recessed region (164) in which the structural member (132) is offset in a direction into the channel (142). A centroid (148) of the cross-section is within 0.125 inch of the recessed region (164).
