I hung two of these in my garage with the 4' gear wall panels. I use them to store my motorcycle side cases and a top case. These provide a convenient way to store the cases and prevent their paint from getting scratched. One shelf was bent upon arrival and they immediately shipped a new one, no questions asked. Overall, an easy and fun project with great results. Looks great too.

extremely sturdy
got this shelf so I could have a spot for my antique radio and speakers in the garage. All the items together weigh nearly 60lbs so it had to be a sturdy shelf that I could trust. installation was a pain at first because I tried to snap the shelf onto the gear track like it was any hook. you can't so that, you have to slide the shelf from the side onto the track and slide it to where you want it to properly mount. this may be an issue for you if your gear track is in a tight space, but I was able to so it and now I listen to the radio in the garage and have my fear of my radio being damaged or falling. the only improvement to be made on the product is that it snaps so tightly to the track, and the metal mesh is so tight, that you cannot pass an electrical cable through the shelf, you have to run it to the side, which could be a problem if you had many of these shelves lined up. my cable was able to go around, but maybe an improvement for future designs having a small hole for cables and such to pass through.

Good Shelf
The instructions on using the two tracks are incorrect. I had to move them closer together, 4 inches. The wing nuts are not necessary. I replaced them with regular nuts.

Sturdy shelf with nice tight mesh surface. The mounting hardware is less than impressive however. I beefed it up a little bit with additional hardware. Also the instructions for locating the wall pieces are simply wrong. But the end result is what I wanted: a nice deep shelf that leaves the floor below it open. I'd buy it again.

I use it as my workbench.
Great value for the amount of space it provides.
Not sturdy enough to stand on… but adequate for all my workbench needs.

Sturdy shelf that can be positioned with the anchors above or below. Love the size of the shelf as it can fit a decent amount of items/decent weights. I have definitely no more than 50 pounds on this shelf.

Very sturdy
I bought this shelf for extra shelving in our garage. It is very sturdy and holds and lot of weight. Installation was very easy by myself when used with the gear wall panel.

Gorgeous white metal shelves that look amazing with the white gearwall system. The key with these tracks and wall systems is to use all the screws they recommend on their instructions. This shelf feels a but flimsy, but once installed on a solid gearwall (with all the screws necessary for a tight wall fit), this shelf shines in looks and functionality.
Keep in mind these are a bit wide (20 inches) for that space most people have on the side of their garage doors. These shelved barely fit on the space I have but I am happy I gave them a try.

BIG N STRONG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shelf is not only extremely easy to put up it is EXTREMELY STRONG as well. I only have one shelf right now however I will be purchasing more for my garage and basement. If you are timid because you have to install them don't be, like I said it is extremely easy. If you need storage and are wanting a shelf THIS IS IT. I have shown my neighbors and family and everyone I showed really like them and plan on going out and purchasing them as well.

I like this shelf very much, but I didn't find it as easy to install as most reviewers did.
I chose to install mine with the braces above the shelf, to avoid the braces interfering with some items below my 2 Gear Lofts. I mounted my first Gear Track 1 and 3/8 inch below the ceiling in my garage.
The instructions say to mount the lower Gear Track with six inches between the two tracks, but I found that this was too close together.
I then moved my lower Gear Track so that there was 8 and 1/2 inches between the two tracks. This made sense to me because the slots in the braces are 1 and 1/4 inches apart. However, when I went to mount the shelf, I found that this position required that I use the highest slot, and the angle of the braces is so acute that there was barely enough room to screw on the wing nuts. I wasn't satisfied with this because I want to be able to easily remove the shelf if my nearby furnace needs to be worked on.
I found that the ideal spacing of the Gear Tracks for my application is 7 and 1/4 inches. This spacing allowed me to have enough working room above the braces that the ceiling didn't get in the way during installation and to be able to use the two middle slots for the bolts in the upper brackets. With the upper track 1 and 3/8 inches from the ceiling and the two tracks 7 and 1/4 inches apart, I have 16 inches between the shelf and the ceiling, and that's just perfect for my use.
That's not the end of the challenges I had, though. I found it difficult to get the back of the shelf to fit properly in the upper channel of the lower track. My garage walls aren't perfectly flat and when the Gear Tracks are mounted, they conform to the walls. I had to back off some of my screws to allow the tracks to move a little and allow my shelf to fully engage in the channel. You should be able to see the screw line of the channel if your shelf is fully in the channel. If your shelf covers the channel completely, it's not all the way in the channel as it should be. I used a rubber mallet to make sure my shelf was settled all the way down.
Now that I've got my two Gear Lofts installed, I'm very pleased with them. I hope this review will help someone else with the installation.

Needed a good solution to mount my YETI 65 cooler up and away from any traffic in my garage. Since I had Gladiator wall tracks already installed this shelf was the perfect fit! Very sturdy and with plenty of room to spare!

Up off the ground with the Gear Loft Shelving
After geeting all the busy work done (demo, tapping, mudding, painting) the geartrack channels and gear loft shelving were a breeze. very easy to install when the wall is completely level. When I got to a ridge in the wall it gave me quite a bit of trouble. Try to stick to the flattest parts of your wall when hanging any of the shelves. Good quality and very sturdy. I got everything off the ground which is perfect.

Shelves are of good quality and were easy to assemble. They are very sturdy and mount easily on the gear track channels. You should be able to purchase the shelves and channels and all hardware as a set rather than order separately and wait for both shipments to arrive

Very poor packaging and different badge
This is a very nice shelf, but the packaging is terrible!! I would strongly suggest purchasing this from a store where you can inspect the box before purchasing. My package arrived with numerous indentations in the box with some of them piercing all the way through. At first I thought the shelf had escaped without any damage, but after further inspection there is a dent in the front of the shelf. Luckily I don't think it is enough to compromise the strength of the shelf, but it is noticeable. Another, more disappointing issue, is the Gladiator badge/name plate is different from all of my other Hammer Granite Gladiator products. Those all have a badge with Gladiator in orange text, while this has it in silver text and the font looks more bold. In the photos I saw online it looks like it still has the Orange badge, so maybe it was a mistake in manufacturing??? Either way, it's very disappointing to not have it match the rest of my Gladiator products. Especially since it is directly above a cabinet and next to another (older) Gearloft Shelf that have the orange badges.

I purchase this shelf a few weeks ago and finally go to install it today. It was a very difficult install. First the directions were not real clear. Second, it was very difficult to hold up and screw the bolt and mount it to the panel the top of the shelf was not secureyyy. I nnnn. will not be buying again. Jim kobilarcsik

Poor design. Needs an extra Gearwall panel to work
Whoever designed this made sure that you'd need to waste an extra GearWall panel to mount these. Brackets stretch above a single panel so that you'll need to mount a second panel to make it work. What. A. Joke.
