Abstract
A wall-mountable storage system, comprising a plurality of uprights having a mounting flange, an extending surface and a bracket interfacing flange, each upright having a plurality of openings spaced each of the mounting flange, the bracket interfacing flange and the extending surface for mounting the system to a wall, accepting passage of the brackets through the uprights, and mounting the brackets to the uprights, respectively. The configuration and load application of the system may increase the sheer component of loading on the system and decrease the bending moment component, thereby increasing the maximum load capacity of the system.
