Lyon Openstyle Shelving Systems Boost Warehouse Efficiency

2026-11-03

Lyon's industrial open metal shelving uses a backless design with cross-bracing at the sides and rear to improve stability while keeping stored items visible from multiple angles, according to product specifications. The system is available in 36-inch and 48-inch widths and is intended for warehouses where rapid inventory checks and flexible expansion are priorities. Shelf load ratings range from 600 to 1,300 pounds, depending on the series and shelf gauge.

Open shelving and storage visibility

In industrial storage environments, high visibility and access efficiency are central to optimizing space. The open, backless structure allows items to be seen from multiple angles, supporting faster inventory checks than enclosed shelving systems. The design also permits modular combinations that can be expanded as storage needs change.

Adjustment system and finish

The shelving line follows industry-standard dimensions and uses a no-tool shelf-height adjustment system. Posts are punched with adjustment centers spaced every 1.5 inches, and four dedicated clips secure each shelf at the selected position.

All units in the line are finished in Dove Gray powder coating, which is described as resistant to wear and corrosion. The finish is intended for routine industrial use where surfaces are subject to repeated contact and shifting loads.

Capacity and specifications

Load capacity varies by series, post type and shelf gauge. The 2000 series uses angle or beaded posts with 14-gauge posts and 20-gauge shelves, rated for up to 850 pounds per shelf. The 8000 series uses T-posts and offers medium-, heavy- and extra-heavy-duty configurations.

Series/model	Post type	Material/specification	Load capacity per shelf
2000 series	Angle post	14-gauge posts / 20-gauge shelves	Up to 850 lbs
2000 series	Beaded post	14-gauge posts / 20-gauge shelves	Up to 850 lbs
8000 series (medium-duty)	T-post	22-gauge shelves	Up to 600 lbs
8000 series (heavy-duty)	T-post	20-gauge shelves	Up to 900 lbs
8000 series (extra-heavy-duty)	T-post	18-gauge shelves	Up to 1,300 lbs

Selection guidance and applications

For different storage requirements, the line pairs several post and shelf combinations:

Budget-oriented option: The 2000 series angle-post design is the lower-cost configuration for routine industrial storage.
High-access requirements: The 2000 series beaded-post design maintains rear stability while improving front access space.
Heavy equipment storage: The 8000 series T-post design, paired with different shelf gauges, can accommodate items ranging from tools and safety supplies to motors and pumps.

Shelf gauge is the clearest guide to matching a unit to its load. A 22-gauge shelf is rated for up to 600 pounds, a 20-gauge shelf for up to 900 pounds, and an 18-gauge shelf for up to 1,300 pounds. The lighter configuration is suited to tools and safety supplies, the middle configuration to medium-weight parts such as gears and wheels, and the heaviest configuration to motors and pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should shelf gauge be matched to stored items?

Shelf gauge determines load capacity. A 22-gauge shelf is rated for up to 600 pounds and is suited to light tools or safety supplies. A 20-gauge shelf is rated for up to 900 pounds and is intended for medium-weight items such as gears or wheels. An 18-gauge shelf is rated for up to 1,300 pounds and is intended for heavy equipment such as motors or pumps.

Does shelf adjustment require specialized tools?

No. The shelving uses a compression-clip system, and shelf-height adjustment requires no tools. A shelf is placed at a preset position and secured with four dedicated clips.

How do starter and add-on units extend a storage row?

A starter unit can be used as a standalone shelving unit. An add-on unit connects to the starter unit and shares its posts, reducing cost while allowing a storage row to be extended in a linear arrangement.
