A modified structural channel member is formed to include an indented region, or detented region, within the web portion of the channel. The indented portion, in conjunction with one flange of the channel, may be used as a connector in a cantilever rack structure. Alternatively, when formed to include a detented portion, a pair of such channels may be used as a shelf support structure, with a support beam resting between the pair of detented portions. A conventional channel member may be processed by a punch and die, or alternatively, by a rolling technique, to form the modified structural channel structure of the present invention. A plate may be used in place of a channel, with the plate similarly processed to include any desired indent or detent structure.

A glide (10) for a shelf (25) of a mini-load warehouse rack has a bearing plate (12) held in place on the shelf by a detent (24) raised up from the upper surface (26) of the shelf and fitting a hole (18) in the bearing plate. A clip (14) on an edge (15) of the guide fitting around an inner edge (27) of the shelf resiliently engages an underside (28) of the shelf to hold the bearing plate in its locked position on the detent. Trays (30) can slide in and out on the shelf glides without dislodging the bearing plates from the detents.
