these videos make it look so easy
The task isn't too hard with the right technique!
The rubber mallet did the trick and the hack of turning the shelf upside down is genius. Saved me cost of a mover!
We're happy to hear that!
Thank you, I watched this video secretly........than I amazed my husband with my expertise. He had no clue about this simple technique. What about that?He is still looking at me weird way.
Woohoo! We love hearing that.
🤣
It's nice that you did this for your husband. He's a lucky man.
i just want to say this video really helped me. Thank you for making and posting it.
We're so happy to hear that!
Thanks a million. Love my shelf but have to switch it out and don’t want to get rid of it. This video was extremely helpful and easy to understand.
We're so happy to hear that! You're very welcome.

agreed!
Using a rubber hammer/mallet worked perfectly as shown. I have large casters on the bottom of the unit that were rusted in place and I could not unscrew them even with vice grips… but was able to to get this shelf disassembled and move it instead of leaving with the house or trashing it!
So happy we could help!
I was hoping I'd be able to transport my wire shelving units while still assembled. I'm moving to another town. My daughter informed me that when she tried that, they fell apart. Sooooooooooooo here I am! Thanks for the video on how to disassemble them. I did order a rubber mallet.
Same here. I thought that maybe I could put it inside a moving truck but I fear it's gonna break apart during driving and all stuff breaking and hell all inside. A rubber mallet just costs 5 dollars so I'll just follow the video and save possible trouble instead of being lazy.
Any suggestions when the posts will not twist or budge?
Will the mallet method work if it cannot be turned upside down?
Great video. What if you don't have access to a rubber mallet or a hammer? Is there any other tool that can be safely used?
You can use another durable striking instrument, as long as you place a towel or cloth at the striking point. This will prevent you from causing any damage to the supporting truss underneath the shelf.
Thank you ! 😊
How do I buy more plastic holders for the shelves? I bought a shelf that was short a few.
On our website, we sell 1" diameter shelf clips that fit our wire shelving posts (www.shelving.com/1-Diameter-Shelf-Clips-4-Pack-p/si-apsc.htm) as well as 3/4" diameter shelf clips, if you have smaller diameter posts (www.shelving.com/3-4-Diameter-Shelf-Clips-4-Pack-p/si-apss.75.htm).
If the packaging was short a few holders, you should contact the place you bought it and let them know. They'd probably send you an entire package.
Thank you
I have to move 30 of these using a van. I have to put them on their side and when I do that they come apart. Any tips to move them without spending hours to disassemble and reassemble? Ty
We would suggest using a rubber mallet to tap all shelves firmly in place, in order to ensure they hold better. You could also perhaps use masking tape to keep the shelves in place.
How to remove the bushing connectors when they are stuck inside the pole ?please
They might be cross threaded. They unscrew to the left; a gripping tool could assist, such as pliers or vice grips.
How do you remove the threads from the posts ?
Thank you😊
You're very welcome!
What If this is an industrial one that has been used and now I need to get it in my greenhouse. I have turned over and tapped. Nothing.
You could try a lubricant like grease or WD-40, letting it sit for 30+ minutes before tapping with a rubber mallet evenly around the shelf collars. You can also try applying heat onto the shelf collars.
Thank you so much, now I know...
Happy to help!
Thanks so much for that advice. My intuition would have been of no help here.
We're so glad we could help!
My unit has wheels. Any tips on how to remove them?
Hi Bryan - thanks for reaching out. Do you know if the casters (or wheels) are stem or threaded casters? Stem casters are considered a permanent application, but we do know of 'caster puller' tools that could help - such as this one: www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-Stem-Caster-Installation-Removal-19YX19.
what if one side is stuck and wont come loose after hitting with mallet?
You could try a lubricant like grease or WD-40, letting it sit for 30+ minutes before tapping with a rubber mallet evenly around the shelf collars. You can also try applying heat onto the shelf collars.
@@ShelvingIncorporated Thanks for that tip. I'll try the lubricant if need be.
There is no room to turn mine over. And i cannot get the top one off! Ive beat it to death. Even bent the shelf a bit. .no dice
Maybe you were holding your mouth wrong. 😉
how to remove a jammed wire shelving?
Hi Simon - have you tried flipping the shelving unit over, and then using a rubber mallet to tap the frame of the shelves? We have found this method helpful.
Can you change the height of the very top shelf?
Hi Sarah - yes, you can absolutely change the height of the top shelf! All shelves are fully adjustable. They can be placed anywhere on the posts - we just recommend keeping one shelf near the bottom and one near the top for stability, but the top shelf can be placed below the height of the posts no problem.
Thank you!
You're very welcome!
