Abstract
A shelving assembly including a frame including a plurality of support columns. A shelf unit includes a plurality of sides disposed inside the frame. A gear assembly is disposed adjacent to one of the plurality of sides of the shelf unit. The gear assembly includes a drive shaft, a translational shaft and a translational gear disposed on a distal end of the translational shaft. A vertically-extending toothed rack is positioned on the frame. The vertically-extending toothed rack is operably engaged with the translational gear such that rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the translational shaft and rotation of the translational gear, which results in vertical translation of the shelf unit.
