joining plate for metal shelving

If the expansion of your business forces you to create longer storage aisles or you notice that your independent shelves suffer small individual oscillations when loading merchandise, you need a component that unifies your structures to multiply their resistance.

Our Simonrack shelving joining plates are specifically designed to link and secure several metal modules laterally or rearward, offering an ultra-resistant steel fixing that transforms loose shelving into a single compact, rigid and immovable linear block.

Frequently asked questions about our joining plates

These frequently asked questions will provide you with essential information about using Simonrack metal shelving and will help you make informed decisions about it.

What is the main function of a joining plate?
The joining plate (or connecting clip) is a metal connecting piece whose function is to firmly join the vertical profiles of two adjacent shelving units. By connecting the uprights, independent movement of the modules is prevented, play is eliminated, and lateral forces are distributed evenly along the entire length of the shelving unit.
It is highly recommended to use them whenever two or more shelving units are installed in a line (side by side) or back-to-back (in double rows). They are essential in high-bay warehouses, high-traffic picking aisles, or when the structures will support heavy or dynamic loads.
We offer a variety of plate designs tailored to each of our product ranges. These include perforated plates for traditional screw systems (which use the same screws as the profile) and click-fit clips for interlocking profiles, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
To ensure optimal structural rigidity, it is recommended to install a minimum of two plates at each upright joint: one at the bottom (above the shelf feet) and one at the top. If the shelf exceeds two meters in height, it is advisable to add a third plate in the center.
Like all Simonrack engineered components, the plates are manufactured from high-strength, cold-rolled industrial steel. They feature galvanized finishes or thick epoxy paint coatings, preventing corrosion and ensuring a strong, long-lasting connection.
The process is very simple, but for strict safety and risk prevention reasons, it is recommended to unload the merchandise from adjacent trays before securing the shelves. Since they are aligned with the drilling pattern of the Simonrack profiles, the connection is made in just a few minutes and without needing to modify the structure.

Optimize your space with Simonrack shelving joining plates

In professional logistics, total stability isn't achieved by simply adding individual pieces of furniture, but by creating perfectly cohesive, single-layer structures. Simonrack's joining plates offer the ideal engineered connection for assembling your storage racks, guaranteeing homogeneous and ultra-safe structural behavior under the most demanding heavy load requirements.

Block rigidity and elimination of lateral sway

The greatest danger of high-bay modular shelving installed in a line is the domino effect, or independent swaying caused by accidental impacts during loading operations. Our plates completely block relative movement between uprights, absorbing inertia and making the entire assembly respond like a solid steel wall.

Uniform distribution of load forces

By interlocking the vertical profiles with the Simonrack plates, you ensure that the weight placed on a shelf does not affect a single upright in isolation. Mechanical forces are distributed evenly along the unified frame, reducing metal fatigue, preventing localized deformations, and increasing the warehouse's passive safety.

Perfect configuration of halls and dual batteries

If your logistics strategy includes high-density storage with back-to-back racking, joining plates are your best ally. They allow you to maintain a precise and consistent separation between rear modules, perfectly aligning picking aisles and optimizing the warehouse's geometric space.

An economical alternative that multiplies safety

You don't need to invest in expensive, complex bracing systems to stabilize your shelving. Purchasing a set of genuine Simonrack connecting plates is the most direct, clean, and economical solution for transforming a standard shelving unit into a compact, high-security industrial system.

Professional finishes with high resistance to corrosion

Genuine Simonrack accessories ensure your expansions maintain a clean, corporate, and uniform appearance. Thanks to their thermosetting epoxy paint finishes and galvanized plating, the mounting plates withstand the wear and tear of cabinets and the ambient humidity of workshops or basements without showing signs of rust or wear.

Strict compliance with risk prevention regulations

A safe warehouse is an efficient warehouse. By unifying your shelving units with firmly fixed steel plates (and combining them with the corresponding wall anchors), you strictly comply with European safety recommendations for metal storage equipment, reducing the risk of accidents due to tipping or collapse to zero.

Summary of benefits of Simonrack shelving joining plates

  • Structural unification: Solidly links several modules, turning them into a single, compact linear unit.
  • Maximum stability: Eliminates individual swaying and oscillating movements between adjacent shelves.
  • Efficient load distribution: Evenly distributes lateral and vertical pressures throughout the assembly.
  • Millimeter alignment: Ideal for setting up perfect picking aisles and back-to-back combinations.
  • High durability of steel: Made of high-strength industrial steel with anti-corrosion treatments (epoxy or galvanized).
  • Quick and economical installation: Agile assembly that takes advantage of the original perforations of the Simonrack profiles.

The ultimate link for unbreakable storage

Purchasing Simonrack shelving connectors is a highly cost-effective decision focused on ensuring the integrity and strength of your workspace. By combining the strength of our steel with a precise coupling design, you can expand your logistics infrastructure without compromising stability or jeopardizing your stock. Don't let a lack of cohesion weaken your shelving; connect your profiles with Simonrack and experience the peace of mind of a perfectly cohesive warehouse.

As the ideal complement to ensure that the base of your unified profiles sits perfectly and protects the flooring of your facilities, we suggest our Simonrack plastic and metal feet, the essential accessory for impeccable weight distribution.
