Picked these up a few months back when they auction off the contents of a GM dealership that got axed by the Government.
These use to be in the parts department at the dealership about a block away from my shop.
These shelves were grouped in lots of six to a unit. High bidder got to take as many units as they wanted for the same money.
So when the bidding was over I had the high bid of $125.00 per unit, the Auctioneer asks
"How many units do you want?" So dummy me says " 4 units!!" What was I thinking!!!
Any way ,to make a long story short, after storing these for a few months I decided to build a game part storage area on the second floor of my shop. These shelves seem to be ideally suited for this purpose.
Now I am in the middle of getting every thing organized.......Fun, Fun !!!!!!!!!

I really like the fact that you can see most everything and don't have to open doors or move much around to see what you have.
 
Do you know how much weight each shelf is rated at? My guess is a couple hundred pounds a shelve, because they look like they are made out of metal!
 
I love shelves too! Never can have too many, but can definately run out of wall space.
 
Those are the same shelves we use at the GM dealership I work at. We're under construction right now, and there's a good bet that a few of these shelves are going to get tossed as things get moved around. I've been eyeing them up myself.

They are VERY sturdy. Our guys have been spotted climbing up them to reach parts on the tops. If they can support a 200 pound guy on the lip edge, then they're pretty sturdy to hold a monitor or two.

Still, I think I'd line them with cardboard or something. They're awfully conductive. I don't think I'd store PCBs on them without antistatic bags.

If I could just line my garage with shelving like that my basement would have so much more room! Yeah I agree with you about the PCBs, its probably best to always store them in an antistatic material anyway . . .
