Mounting system for a storage system
A mounting system for adjustably mounting a storage system to a wall is provided. The mounting system includes a horizontal rail to be secured to the wall, a stanchion spaced from the wall, and an adjustable knuckle assembly supporting the stanchion on the horizontal rail. The knuckle assembly is adjustable to move the stanchion toward and away from the wall, enabling the mounting system to accommodate plumb variations in the wall.
1. A mounting system for adjustably mounting a storage system to a wall, the mounting system comprising:
a horizontal rail adapted to be secured to the wall;
a stanchion spaced from the wall; and
an adjustable knuckle assembly interconnecting the stanchion to the horizontal rail, wherein the knuckle assembly is adjustable to move the stanchion toward or away from the wall, enabling the mounting system to accommodate plumb variations in the wall, the knuckle assembly comprising:
a rail bracket mountable to the horizontal rail;
a stanchion bracket to which the stanchion is mounted;
a fastener interconnecting the rail bracket and the stanchion bracket; and
a biasing member disposed between the rail bracket and the stanchion bracket to bias the rail and stanchion brackets away from one another.
2. The mounting system of claim 1 including a wedge lock inserted between the knuckle assembly and the stanchion to lock the knuckle assembly and stanchion together.
3. The mounting system of claim 1 wherein the fastener is adjustable to increase or decrease the spacing between the rail bracket and the stanchion bracket.
4. The mounting system of claim 3 wherein the knuckle assembly is provided with minimum spacing between the rail bracket and the stanchion bracket.
5. The mounting system of claim 3 wherein the knuckle assembly and stanchion are mountable to the horizontal rail at substantially any selected position along a length of the horizontal rail such that the stanchion is selectively positionable in the horizontal direction relative to the wall.
6. The mounting system of claim 1 including a leveler assembly vertically mounted to a lower end of the stanchion, the leveler assembly comprising a bracket and an adjustable leveler foot, wherein the leveler foot is vertically adjustable to accommodate height variations in a floor.
7. The mounting system of claim 1 including a back leveler assembly horizontally mounted to a rear of the stanchion, the back leveler assembly comprising a bracket and an adjustable leveler foot, wherein the leveler foot is horizontally adjustable to move the stanchion toward or away from the wall to accommodate plumb variations in the wall.
8. The mounting system of claim 7 wherein the mounting system includes a plurality of the stanchions, a plurality of the knuckle assemblies, a plurality of the leveler assemblies, and a plurality of the back leveler assemblies.
