Thinline tiers are welded steel construction with a desirable high quality powder enamel finish. Tiers are assembled together, with tops and bases, to form complete units.
The innovative construction of all Thinline units achieves greater filing capacity in less space. The main reason is the thinner front edge (shelf lip) which is 1/8" thick, in contrast to conventional equipment which can have a front edge of up to 1 1/4" thick. This thinner front edge is one aspect of Thinline's versatile construction which allows nearly three times the filing capacity. Structural strength is achieved with permanent-welded divider tiers or through the use of reinforcements.
Thinline tiers are available in several different size capacities including: Letter, Legal, X-Ray and Book depth; 10", 11", 12 3/4", 13" (book depth only) and 15" (x-ray depth only) height tiers are designed to fit the size of the document stored, and can be used for either end-tab or top-tab folders. Because of its modular concept, each "range" within one system can accommodate a different size tier (ie. 10" tiers can be used in conjunction with 11" or 12 3/4" tiers, etc.), as long as the depth of the tiers is the same. In other words, systems can be customized within a size capacity as required by each individual end-user.

A.
SHELF - 18 gauge cold rolled steel sheet metal with 3/8" hem in front. Shelves take up only .125 inches each, which is the thickness of the hemmed steel.
SIDE AND BACK (WRAPPER) - 20 gauge one piece wrap-around with 3/4" flanges top and bottom and 9/16" double flange in front.
DIVIDERS - solid steel dividers are welded to the shelf and wrapper, forming a solid tier without the thick shelf edge needed by other systems.
DIVIDERLESS TIER - Shelf is 18 gauge cold rolled steel sheet metal with 3/8" hem in front. Reinforcing collar welded full width of tier (underneath). This reduces the inside clear height by 9/16". One magnetic divider is included with each tier.
B.
1" TOP - 18 gauge cold rolled steel with four formed sides, 1" high with 3/4" return flanges.
1" BASE - 18 gauge cold rolled steel with four formed sides, 1" high with 3/4" return flanges.
2", 4", 6 3/4" BASES - 18 gauge cold rolled steel with four formed sides, and 3/4" bottom flanges. Welded assembly is gussetted at four bottom corners and fitted with leveling domes.
X-RAY bases are reinforced to give extra weight capacity.
C.
90 DEGREE & 180 DEGREE - 20 gauge cold rolled steel. 90 degree doors are hinged at the bottom to allow door to remain horizontal serving as a work or support shelf. 180 degree doors are hinged at bottom to allow 180 degree arc to give unobstucted view of tier contents on those tiers used above eye level.
LOCKS - Individual cam locks are optional for all doors. Keyed alike unless otherwise requested. If lock is desired, it must be ordered at same time as the door.
36" wide tiers with welded fixed dividers = 250 pounds per shelf
36" wide dividerless tiers = 100 pounds
36" tier = 35" L.F.I
24" tier = 23" L.F.I
