How to Secure Shelf Boards to the RackEm Shelf Kit for Enclosed Cargo Trailers # RA-24

Question:

What securely holds the lumber to the shelf brackets? Im not able to see any holes in the brackets to secure the lumber to them and with the bouncing and vibration even a tight fitting board will work its way lose. Thank You

There is a hole at the back of the shelf bracket in the Rackem Shelf Kit for Enclosed Cargo Trailers, item # RA-24. See photo at right. This hole goes all of the way through the bracket and a bolt and nut or other hardware can be used to secure wooden shelves to the brackets. At the front of the bracket there is a hook that secures the shelf front to back and up and down.

If the shelf is situated between two walls or other items them attachment hardware would not be needed.

I would recommend countersinking the head of any hardware used so items placed on the shelves do not get marred.
