Abstract
A rail assembly for a storage rack that includes, in one aspect, a first rail member, a second rail member, and a nut assembly slidably mounted to the second rail member. The first rail member may include a first mounting aperture extending through a body of the first rail member and the second rail member may include a first mounting slot extending through a body of the second rail member for a predefined dimension along a longitudinal axis. The sliding nut assembly may be slidably mounted adjacent the first mounting slot to a longitudinal position aligned with the first mounting aperture such that a fastener may be received through the first mounting aperture and first mounting slot and threaded into the first nut assembly to lock the first and second rack members against relative movement and fix the rail assembly to the front and rear pillars.
