I am looking for a supplier of wall-rail shelving systems silimar to the one shown in

formatting link
but in Singapore.



I specifically want wall-rails that are double-slot and work with single-slot arms (so that I can place two selves next to another at same height w/o needing two rails).



I have a hard time time finding these types of shelves locally and wonder whether in my searches I am just using the wrong names/type descriptions.



Are there any other names for these shelves that i maybe should include in my searches? Names how different brands call this may also help.



Furthermore, i am interested in whether there are any standards for these (slot length/width/size, -distance) that I may want to use so that I can later match arms and other attachments from different manufacturers to the rails that I mount?



Brands for these types of shelves (if any) I would also be interested in.



any info is appreciated



(also if there are any other newgroups/forums where I may get this kind of info)

The shelving in your picture in the UK is known as Spur but there are other makes. Had a look in Ikea?

Ikea has something not quite similar (also upright rails but a much worse way to clip the arms in).

They *use* the one I showed (or equivalent) themselves, but don't sell that. I asked (could maybe have gotten some old standalone racks based on it, but I am looking for wallmount)

I have a mix of genuine Spur and other lookalike systems, they don't interwork both ways. I *think* the Spur brackets fit in the other wall bars but not vice versa.

So be aware that they don't all mix and match.

IME the other way around. Spur brackets tend to be cast and thus thicker whereas the 'others' are pressed steel and thinner.
