Wall mounted shelving is what a hospital room turns to when the floor is already full. Cantilever arms carry a shelf straight off the wall or off the back posts of an existing unit; hang rails add a row of bins under a shelf; bin rail packages give a complete wall run in one part number. This page covers the published sizes, depths and load figures, and how to specify a run. It sits under wall mounted medical storage.
Cantilever arms and shelves
The arm is the product. The shelf is chosen separately, which is what makes the system flexible and also what people forget to order.
The manufacturer’s current cantilever pages describe the system as a way to create storage space where floor space is not available, and list 40 arm models across single and double arm styles in chrome and in epoxy finishes. Each order is published as including two cantilever arms and two mounting brackets, with the wire shelf sold separately. The live pages list three depths — 14, 18 and 24 inches — while the printed wire literature publishes five, adding 12 and 21 inches. We quote whichever the current price file confirms for your finish.
Complete single-shelf wall-mount packages are also published: a 12-inch deep shelf in lengths from 24 to 72 inches (models WDWB1224 through WDWB1272), which is the simplest way to buy a plain wall shelf run. For shelves hung off the back posts of an existing shelving unit, the manufacturer publishes cantilever shelves with a drop mat design that gives a ledge around the shelf, in 12 by 24 inch up to 12 by 60 inch sizes, in Proform green, grey and black epoxy, with a published load capacity of up to 150 lb per shelf and a note that the unit will need taller rear posts.
| Family | Published sizes | Published notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cantilever arms (DWB / DWBD) | 14, 18, 24 in on the live pages; 12 and 21 in also published in print | 2 arms + 2 mounting brackets per order, shelf separate |
| Wall-mount shelf packages (WDWB) | 12 in deep, 24 to 72 in long | Complete single-shelf package |
| Cantilever shelves (RCS) | 12 x 24 in to 12 x 60 in | Drop mat ledge, up to 150 lb per shelf, needs taller rear posts |
| Hang rails (HB) | 14, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60 in | Chrome and stainless, one rail per part number |
| Bin rail packages (CAN-34) | 24, 30, 36, 48, 60 in wide x 34 in high | 3 bin rails, 9 to 30 bins included, chrome |
Hang rails and bin rail runs
Hang rails mount between shelving posts or on a wall frame and carry a row of hanging bins under a shelf, in space that is otherwise wasted. The manufacturer publishes six lengths — 14, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 inches — in chrome, with stainless steel published from 18 inches up.
Bin rail holders do the same job with more adjustment: chrome, published in 24, 30, 36, 48 and 60 inch widths, adjusting in 1-inch increments, with the manufacturer publishing how many of each bin size fits each rail. A 36-inch rail is published as holding 8 of the smallest bins or 6 of the 10-7/8 by 5-1/2 by 5 inch size.
Complete bin runs. If you want the whole thing in one part number, the published wall-mount cantilever bin packages are 34 inches high with three bin rails, in 24, 30, 36, 48 and 60 inch widths, holding 9, 12, 18, 24 or 30 bins with the bins included, in chrome. Bin colours published for those packages are blue, green, ivory, red, yellow, black and clear. The manufacturer also publishes cantilever packages with baskets. For the bins themselves see medical bins and containers, and for a full unit rather than a wall run see bin shelving systems.
Where wall shelving is the right answer
Deep arms over a work surfaceA deeper arm carries a shelf above a bench without a single leg on the floor, so the counter and the floor both stay cleanable.
Two or three shelf wall runsStacked arms give a short run of shelves in a corridor alcove, substerile room or clean utility where a floor unit would not fit.The recurring cases are small rooms that already have their floor committed, benches in sterile processing where nothing may sit on the work surface, operating rooms where the floor has to be clear for cleaning, and new construction where wall blocking can still be added before the walls close. If the volume is genuinely too large for wall runs, high density storage is the honest alternative rather than more shelves.
Specifying a wall run
Estimated figures only. Quantities, footprints and capacities we produce during planning are estimates for discussion. Final specifications and dimensions are confirmed on the quote and field-verified before installation.
Labs USA is a supplier and project partner, not the manufacturer. We supply Quantum Medical storage products, help size and configure them for the room and the workflow, and coordinate delivery and installation.
Plan the wall run before you order the arms
Send the wall dimensions, what is behind the wall if you know it, and the item list. We come back with arm and shelf models, rail and bin quantities, heights and a quoted parts list. The configurators in the Design Center will do the shelf and bin arithmetic with you.
