Double-Sided Gondola Shelving Add-On Unit with Pegboard – 48"W x 72"H

Item: GAO72

Extend an existing retail aisle with this heavy-duty 48"W x 72"H double-sided gondola shelving add-on unit. It connects to a compatible Double-Sided Gondola Shelving Starter Unit or another add-on bay to create an 8', 12', 16', or longer continuous shelving run.

This commercial steel gondola system includes double-sided pegboard panels, two base decks, and six adjustable upper shelves. It is compatible with Madix gondola shelving systems, making it suitable for expanding many existing retail fixture layouts.

  • 6 Adjustable Upper Shelves: Three repositionable shelves per side.
  • 2 Lower Base Decks: Heavy-duty load support, one per side.

Gondola Shelf Weight Capacity

Shelf capacity depends on the shelf depth, bracket design, steel construction, installation, and position on the gondola.

  • Upper Shelves: Usually support approximately 150 to 275 lbs of evenly distributed weight.
  • Lower Base Shelves: Usually support approximately 300 to 500 lbs or more, depending on the selected configuration.
  • Deeper Shelves: Deeper shelves and stronger bracket configurations may support more weight.
  • Proper Loading: Merchandise weight must be spread evenly across the shelf.
  • Correct Installation: Shelves and brackets must be fully engaged and locked into the uprights.
Important: Do not place the entire rated load in one small area. Concentrated or uneven loading may reduce shelf capacity and affect the stability of the gondola run.
