Mounting Guidance:
Mount using 3/8” stainless steel anchoring bolts (not included). Use ¾” or greater back bracing for optimal support. For drywall or partition walls, use T-nuts or heavy-duty anchors. Through-bolting is recommended for maximum strength in public-use areas.
Warranty:
All 12-gauge models include a 10-Year Vandalism Warranty. If the shelf is damaged due to vandalism and was properly installed, we will repair or replace it — unmatched support for institutional-grade hardware.
Competitor Comparison:
Many commercial shelves use thin stainless or aluminum that bends under load or fails under abuse. The AA-VRS Series offers 12-gauge strength, TIG welds, and institutional-grade mounting for unmatched durability. Unlike competitors, our product includes a 10-year warranty and Made in USA quality assurance.
