Abstract
A nestable shim includes a flat plate having a ridge portion with a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface, adaptable to be received beneath the foot plate of a rack column for adjusting the height thereof, wherein the foot plate has a concave groove in the bottom surface thereof in which the ridge portion of the shim nests in use. The top and bottom surfaces of the ridge portion are complementary to permit nesting of a plurality of the shims. The foot plate and the shim each have three fastener-receiving apertures therethrough. Alternatively, a slot may be used in place of one of the shim apertures.
