What is Kevlok Tie-Down Shelving?

KevLok Tie-Down Shelving pieces combine to create workstations and storage areas that safely secure equipment in place during transit over difficult terrain or through rough weather. Accordingly, KevLok shelving is a large benefit to any mobile setting, such as onboard ships, aircraft, or in military and law enforcement mobile command-center trailers and vehicle

Benefits Of Kevlok Tie-Down Shelving

​​Benefits of Kevlok tie-down shelving equipment include:

  • Tie-down portable equipment in trucks, vans, trailers, ships, aircraft, carts — quickly, easily and securely
  • It’s easy to use and quick to install
  • Minimum maintenance required
  • A smooth, unobtrusive shelf surface to keep containers in their best condition
  • No need for instrument recalibration after transport
  • Attenuation of shock up to 90%
  • Prevents injury from flying equipment in the event of an impact;
  • Reduces the need to recalibrate equipment
  • Elimination of equipment setup or teardown times
  • Quick-adjustment of shelving options provides ease of organization.
  • Lightweight aluminum shelving
  • Grooved to accept tie-down hooks
  • Different shapes to accommodate equipment

Sizing & Qualifications

The shelving can be made in any length from 12″ to 144″ in increments of 1/100″. The depth of the shelf varies in 6″ increments. Standard shelves are up to 36″ deep. However, we have custom sizes available (e.g. we made a shelf for a tabletop application that was 66″ deep). For example, the KA24 is one of the most common base part numbers sold. It is 24″ deep and comes with all mounting hardware, metal end caps, and strap assemblies. A KA24-6650 is a K24 shelf that is 66.50″ long.

Our KevLok tie-down shelving meets the Navy MIL-S-901D requirements for Grade A, Class I equipment, medium and lightweight shock tests for shipboard use. Furthermore, the load rating, as it relates to the shock specification IAW MIL-S-901D, is approximately 40lbs per square foot.

KevLok tie-down shelving is designed with vinyl-padded lightweight aluminum and recessed channels to accommodate KevLok tie-down straps with quarter-turn end fittings for quick attachment, release, and workstation configuration. Straps adjust from 11” to 60”. The shelves are normally bare aluminum, however, we can conversion coat them or anodize them on special request.

Lastly, KevLok tie-down shelving can be installed with quick-adjust shelving brackets and ISO tracks (also known as slot and hole tracks) to create storage shelving or workstations that are quickly and easily reconfigurable. A typical workstation may include:

  • Writing surface with two keyboard trays
  • Overhanging shelving unit with file trays
  • Used for lower shelving unit storage

FAQs

Yes, our Kevlok shelving has passed multiple MIL-S-901D shock tests. It is qualified to shock grade a, test category medium weight, equipment class I.

Yes, the CT11009 strap is the strap that is normally provided with the shelves. They feature 1/4 turn fasteners on the ends which allow the strap to be quickly and easily connected to the shelf to restrain items to the shelf.

Yes, the “KW” series of shelves do have an integrated writing surface along with a keyboard tray underneath the shelf. The “KW” series can be 18″ deep to 36″ deep, but the most common is the kw30 series. For all “KW” series the total shelf depth is 6″ more than the basic shelf depth because the writing surface extends past (overhangs) the shelf by 6″. The writing surface is a total of 18″ deep so it also extends back over the shelf by 12″. The “KW” series is available with a single keyboard tray in lengths of 30″ to 36″ and with two keyboard trays in lengths of 60″ and 72″. For longer lengths, multiples of the above are used.

Yes, we will do special features! You will need to submit a sketch (of what you would like) to our engineering department for approval prior to us accepting an order.

Yes, the straps restraint equipment and keep equipment and people safe. These shelves are ideal for any situation or location where structure movement puts equipment, and consequently people, at risk because it keeps the equipment in the position that it is intended to be in.
