Muscle Rack Heavy Duty Steel Shelving is a popular product in the home garage and warehouse. It is an inexpensive way to store your tools that are valuable to you. It comes in five plywood shelves, and two aluminum frames with hinges. They have thick aluminum framing and five plywood shelves for convenient storage of heavy items and frequently used tools and equipment.
The National Safety Council (NSC) has placed the Muscle Rack, along with several other safety equipment products on their list of recalled models. This recall affects the following products: the contractor shelving units, clearance rack shelving units, the metal carport shelving units, and the corner carport shelving units. A total of fourteen items were identified as being under recall. The following information is presented to help you identify if you may have a recalled muscle rack heavy duty steel shelving unit in your home.
This is an all inclusive warning about the dangers associated with the use of the Lean-To shelving unit and other steel shelving products. If you have any questions about the product and/or order status, you should contact the company indicated on the packaging to obtain more information. If you continue to use the recalled product(s) after you have been advised to stop using them, you may be exposing yourself or others to an unreasonable risk of harm.
Three Types of Muscle Rack Heavy Duty Steel Shelving
The NSC has additionally issued a warning about the possible long term health hazards when individuals use a particular brand of lean-to shelving unit or unqualified pre-cut and pre-wired heavy items (e.g. pallet racks and fixed-length wood boards). These items, when used in combination with one another, can result in injury due to sharp or loose edges on both the front and back sides of the storage space. As a result, you should immediately stop using all recalled items and call the manufacturer/ retailer of the items (e.g. Wholesale Central) in order to determine whether or not your home stock contains any of these items that were placed in your name or in one of their boxes, and ask for a replacement.
You should also take care when moving heavy items and store them in their proper location until you determine that the shelf will safely and securely support the weight. For example, if one of the two plywood shelves is being used to support a heavy item, but the shelf is only rated to hold lightweight items, then it is advisable to use the heavier item(s) on the outer shelves until the weight of the lighter item is evenly distributed throughout the entire shelf. You should also immediately stop using any recalled shelving units until you have contacted the manufacturer/ retailer to determine whether or not the recalled shelving units are still in production. This can be difficult, but it is important in order to make sure that your home stock does not contain recalled shelving units that could potentially harm your or others.
As previously stated, there are several types of steel shelving units available to consumers, each of which is designed for a particular function. The most common units are the five plywood shelves. These are the most inexpensive, but they have the least amount of durability. The best quality steel frames can cost up to one and a half million dollars, and they do not generally come with the standard five plywood shelves. When selecting the type of steel shelving units that you will use in your home or office, remember to always purchase from a reputable manufacturer/retailer so that you receive high quality products that will last for many years to come.
