Abstract
A middle shelf installation tool is disclosed for use in combination with a pair of upstanding corner posts during the assembly of a boltless shelving system. Upper and lower sets of hingedly connected corner post surrounding members are spaced one above the other so as to extend across the top and bottom of the installation tool. The installation tool is wrapped in surrounding engagement around the bottom of an upper one of the pair of corner posts and the top of the lower one of the pair. The installation tool forms a splice to hold the upper and lower corner posts in axial alignment one above the other to facilitate the location by a single individual of a middle shelf at the intersection between the corner posts to lie between upper and lower shelves of the system. Once the middle shelf has been installed, the installation tool is pulled off and removed from the corner posts.
