Metro qwikTRAK Floor-Track Mobile Shelving
Floor-mounted rail mobile shelving from Metro (InterMetro Industries), rated up to 2,000 lb per unit and fitted with Super Erecta wire or MetroMax polymer shelving. Material Handling USA is an authorized Metro dealer and plans, specifies and installs qwikTRAK systems nationwide.

Guided From the Floor: How qwikTRAK Works
Metro qwikTRAK runs a low-profile aluminum rail across the floor, and shelving units roll on
casters that ride the rail. Units park closed against each other and a single working aisle
opens wherever access is needed — the same track-mounted principle as Top-Track, but the
rail lives on the floor instead of the ceiling, which is what lets qwikTRAK carry more weight
per unit.
Because the rail is floor-mounted, a flat, level floor is a prerequisite: an older or uneven
slab may need prep before installation. In exchange, qwikTRAK units are rated to carry
significantly more weight per unit than an overhead system, which makes it the pick for dense,
heavy storage where the floor can take the rail.
Material Handling USA is an authorized Metro dealer, and specifies and installs qwikTRAK
systems using Metro’s own shelving lines — Super Erecta wire and MetroMax polymer —
on the floor-track hardware shown throughout this page.

Capacity & Sizing
qwikTRAK is Metro’s higher-capacity floor-track system. Published specifications, by shelf line:
| Spec | qwikTRAK |
|---|---|
| Mount | Floor-mounted aluminum rail |
| Weight capacity — MetroMax i | Up to 1,200 lb (544 kg) per unit |
| Weight capacity — MetroMax Q, Super Erecta, Super Adjustable | Up to 2,000 lb (907 kg) per unit |
| Configuration | Single-deep or double-deep |
| Storage capacity gain | Up to 50% more storage than static shelving in the same footprint, per Metro |
If floor prep or floor cuts aren’t an option for the room, see
Metro Top-Track instead, an overhead-rail system with no floor
impact, compared in full below.
Shelf & Finish Options
qwikTRAK units share the same shelving lines as Top-Track, so the choice comes down to
environment and load rather than the track itself:
- Super Erecta — Metro’s original wire shelving, offered in Brite, chrome,
Metroseal 3 and type 304 stainless finishes. - Super Adjustable Super Erecta — tool-free post adjustment on the same wire
shelf platform. - MetroMax i / MetroMax Q — polymer matrix shelving with corrosion-resistant
posts, built for wash-down and wet environments.
Metro offers Microban antimicrobial product protection on select Metroseal-finish posts and
shelves; we note this as a manufacturer feature, not a certification or health claim, and any
project requiring a specific listing should be confirmed model-by-model in writing before
order.

Complete Kits & Double-Deep Units

Metro publishes qwikTRAK as mobile-unit and stationary-unit kits sized by shelf width, and as
double-deep intermediate kits for projects that need two rows of shelving served by a single
aisle. A kit specifies post finish, shelf type, shelf width and unit count — we confirm
room dimensions, floor condition and target capacity before quoting a specific kit number.

qwikTRAK vs. Top-Track: Which Metro System Fits?
Metro builds two track-mounted mobile shelving systems, and the difference is where the rail
lives:

|---|---|---|
| Rail location | Floor-mounted | Overhead (ceiling-mounted) |
| Weight capacity | Up to 2,000 lb per unit | Up to 900 lb per unit |
| Floor impact | Rail sits on/in the floor | None |
| Best fit | Higher loads, flat floor available | Uneven or finished floors, no floor prep wanted |
