Storage Container Shelf Bracket Source?

Probably off-topic but does anyone know a source for the steel shelf brackets that are found with the Cadillac (~9x7) storage containers? I don't have a photo available yet but the brackets are roughly 2" x 2" "double sided" and they slip into the vertical channels at the corners & center of the container walls. The channels that support the brackets have two rows of vertical slots & they are roughly 1" wide. The 3/4" plywood shelves are then placed on top of these brackets, (once the brackets are locked in place & leveled).

Thanks in advance for any info--have tried the google search route with no images coming up that match. Also since I don't have a TM for this item, I can't come up with an NSN for the brackets.

If you need a photo of the bracket I have some. No idea on a source though.

That would be great. I had a pair of them in my truck but as yet haven't been able to locate. That's what happens when you have to live out of your truck sometimes...

If you're talking about the Willard type FG container shelf brackets, these have spring-loaded pins that engage into vertical rows of holes to adjust shelf height. The ones I need are stamped & pressed steel with no moving parts--they slip into a double row of slots cut into the vertical channels riveted to the container's walls. Guess I better locate one of them so I can get a photo uploaded...

BTW, there's a good chance I'll be in your area over Thanksgiving...maybe we can go get a po-boy at Danny & Clyde's...after that head down to Cafe du Monde for beignets...

Thanks,

Kevin

Yep-those are the spring-loaded ones with the finger ring to pull the pins when you want to raise or lower. These don't work in the Cadillac containers...

Haven't done a count but I think 4 are needed for each shelf & the container has at least 4, maybe 6 shelves, so 24 or maybe more? I'll get a couple photos this week & upload.

Edit--photo not needed--I see you already posted the correct part.

Thanks,

Kevin

I would be glad to meet you! Pm sent with my info.

I think shelf brackets for storage containers need to be a little bit sturdier. You may want to just gauge the height of the storage unit first so that you can get a better idea of how many you're really going to need in there. Obviously because the whole thing's gonna be on the move a fair bit, you may want to get something that locks down a lot better too.

Do you have these? I need a bunch... at the right price - AAR Mfg want upwards of $7.58 ea. That's $30 per shelf x ??? ..... !

I was looking into getting some made - best quote for the blank (pre folded) sofar is > $1.50 ea...

Cheers.
