Technical and Assembly

There are a lot of different slot patterns out there and different manufacturers do not make components that fit universally. They are specific to their own systems.  If you are  looking for components to fit an existing system not supplied by us then we suggest you contact the original supplier initially  to see whether they can supply what you need. Alternatively, give us a call to discuss what the slot pattern for the system you are trying to fit is.  We carry and can manufacture brackets to fit other slot-pitches, but we will need to know their exact sizes. You can download our handy template to provide your systems measurements for a bespoke fitting.

We provide three systems from our standard range and here are their respective slot patterns should you wish to check whether our components will fit your existing system. Our System 1 (Twinslot) with steel mainly tubular posts has a slot pattern which is 18 x 6.5 Twinslot with a 5mm land between slots, that’s 18mm outside both slots. It has a 38.1mm pitch, that’s 1.5inches, which is the distance from the top of one pair of slots, down to the top of the next pair of slots down.

System3 and System4 both have a slot pattern that are 18mm x 3.2 mm slots on a 32mm pitch. NB: If you want to have a row of double-slotted uprights on a wall with a single slotted upright at each end then specify system4 accessories (e.g. CA959/S4 which is a back-bar), and the centre distance between adjacent Double-slotted and Single-slotted uprights needs to reduce slightly from the standard 600mm and we can issue a drawing to show this. We can also supply spacer-bars to aid fixing if required.
