Abstract

A mobile shelving system having tracks and multiple shelf units for moving along the tracks. A shelf unit includes vertical posts that are attached to a carriage using fasteners that are part of the carriage. U-shaped clips connect to the posts and have slots that also accommodate flanges of shelves so that mounting shelves is facilitated. The shelves include a series of slits for receiving tabs that are part of barrier elements. The barrier elements act to limit movement of file folders stored on the shelves.
