Boltless shelving, particularly Tennsco Z-Line, is a versatile storage system designed for easy assembly and flexible use. Unlike traditional shelving that requires nuts, bolts, or clips, boltless shelving utilizes a rivet-lock system, making setup and adjustments fast and straightforward.

Crafted from high-quality steel, providing lasting strength and stability.
Protects the metal from wear, corrosion, and rust.
Enhances space utilization and organization.
Easily reconfigurable to meet changing storage needs.
Open design allows for quick access from all sides.
Tennsco Z-Line shelves are made from heavy-duty steel. Standard steel-shelf and low-profile units are 84 inches high, 36, 42 or 48 inches wide and 12, 18, 24 or 36 inches deep. Long-span units are also 84 inches high, run 48 to 96 inches wide and 24 to 48 inches deep. Reinforced die rack units come 36 to 96 inches wide, 18 to 36 inches deep and 72, 84 or 96 inches high.
Tennsco Z-Line shelving incorporates the same high-performance steel shelves as the renowned Q Line system. Here are the detailed specifications:
These features make the Z Line an adaptable and robust choice for diverse storage requirements.
Shelf capacity on Tennsco Z-Line boltless shelving units depends on the shelf type and the shelf width. Use these tables to match a unit to your heaviest load.
Standard Z-Line units (84″ high): shelf capacity by size
| Unit size (W x D) | Steel shelf unit, 5 levels (ZM7) | Low-profile particleboard unit, 4 levels (ZA7) |
|---|---|---|
| 36″ W x 12″ D | 750 lbs | 600 lbs |
| 36″ W x 18″ D | 750 lbs | 600 lbs |
| 36″ W x 24″ D | 700 lbs | 600 lbs |
| 36″ W x 36″ D | 600 lbs | 600 lbs |
| 42″ W x 12″ D | 600 lbs | 550 lbs |
| 42″ W x 18″ D | 600 lbs | 550 lbs |
| 42″ W x 24″ D | 550 lbs | 550 lbs |
| 42″ W x 36″ D | 550 lbs | 550 lbs |
| 48″ W x 12″ D | 500 lbs | 500 lbs |
| 48″ W x 18″ D | 500 lbs | 500 lbs |
| 48″ W x 24″ D | 450 lbs | 500 lbs |
| 48″ W x 36″ D | 450 lbs | 500 lbs |
Heavy-duty Z-Line units: shelf capacity by width
| Unit width | Long-span unit with decking, 24″-48″ D, 3 levels (ZL7) | Die rack unit, 18″-36″ D, 5 levels (RXHS) |
|---|---|---|
| 36″ W | — | 4,000 lbs |
| 48″ W | 2,250 lbs | 4,000 lbs |
| 60″ W | 2,000 lbs | 3,250 lbs |
| 72″ W | 1,750 lbs | 2,750 lbs |
| 96″ W | 900 lbs | 2,600 lbs |
How to read these numbers: capacities are pounds per shelf level, evenly distributed, as published by Tennsco. Total unit limits also apply: standard units with four angle uprights max out at 8,000 lbs per unit, and long-span and die rack units at 13,000 lbs per unit, all based on shelf levels spaced 24″ apart or less. Wider shelves carry less per level, so a 36″ or 42″ wide unit is the better pick for dense, heavy loads.

Tennsco’s Z Line Shelving provides an all-encompassing solution that scales from simple back-room storage setups to fully integrated warehouse systems. The shelves, designed with high-performance box-form construction, are available in twelve different sizes and can be adjusted at 1.5-inch increments to suit varying storage needs.
Z Line Shelving units use a unique “T” shape post that connects adder units, enabling the creation of a seamless row of shelving. The structural integrity is boosted by “V” shaped beams at the top and bottom of the units, which not only add rigidity but also support the two end shelves. Intermediate shelves utilize compression clips for secure placement, allowing quick assembly and easy access from all sides without the need for sway bracing.
