End Trim
Lozier gondola end trim components determine how every gondola run terminates, and getting the depth and finish wrong at this stage creates a mismatch that is visible from the sales floor entrance. Lozier end caps and Base End Trim components are engineered to the same Uprite slot pattern as the rest of the island or wall run, so structural and visual continuity depends entirely on ordering components that correspond to the existing section configuration. The wrong depth end trim component does not simply look off. It creates a safety exposure at the aisle face.
Depth selection for Lozier gondola end trim follows the same category logic as the parent sections. Health and beauty and HBC installations typically use 13-inch depth end trim. Drug and convenience store formats run 16-inch. Grocery and general merchandise gondola runs require 19-inch or 22-inch depth end trim, and hardware and automotive formats typically use 25-inch depth. One detail buyers frequently miss: the end trim base bracket depth must match the adjacent section base bracket depth, not just the shelf depth, to maintain the rated load capacity of the terminal section. Finish must be specified as Platinum (PLT), the standard light beige, or Charcoal (CHR) on initial order. Optional Catalog Colors carry an 8 to 10 week lead time.
The most common ordering error on Lozier gondola end trim involves confusing Base End Trim height with Uprite height. Base End Trim is a finish trim component that caps the exposed vertical edge of the end Uprite. It is not structural. Ordering a 60-inch Base End Trim against a 84-inch Uprite leaves more than two feet of raw Uprite exposed at the aisle face, a recurring problem on retrofit orders where section heights were upgraded but trim was not. Confirm Uprite height, section width, and base bracket depth before finalizing any end trim order. Lead times on non-PLT, non-CHR finishes are 8 to 10 weeks and are not guaranteed to align with project timelines.

End trim finishes the structural perimeter of an island gondola run and is the first fixture a shopper sees from the aisle: the depth, height, and back type specified here define the endcap merchandising opportunity for the entire run.

Configuration Reference
Lozier Base End Trim is a finish component, not a structural upright. It attaches to the exposed vertical face of the terminal Uprite to complete the visual profile of the gondola run. Base End Trim must be ordered to match the Uprite height of the installed section, available in standard heights from 48 to 96 inches, in Platinum (PLT) or Charcoal (CHR) finish.
End unit base bracket depth must equal or exceed the shelf depth in the same terminal section. On a 19-inch (19D) grocery gondola run, using a shallower base bracket on the end unit drops the rated load capacity of that section below the rated capacity of the rest of the run, creating an inconsistent load floor across the installation.
Lozier gondola end units in Optional Catalog Colors beyond Platinum (PLT) and Charcoal (CHR) carry an 8 to 10 week lead time from the Lozier distribution center. This applies to Base End Trim, end cap trim, and all finish-matched end unit components. PLT and CHR are standard finishes but availability by specific SKU, depth, and height combination still requires confirmation.
Lozier end units use the same one-inch slotted Uprite pattern as standard island and wall sections, which means shelf accessories, dividers, and scan rails installed on adjacent sections are directly compatible on the end unit face without additional hardware. Section width and Uprite height must still match the existing run to achieve a flush termination at the aisle face.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which depth to order for Lozier gondola end trim in my store?
Match the end trim depth to the depth of the gondola run it terminates. A 19-inch grocery run requires 19-inch depth end trim components, including base brackets and shelves. If you are unsure of the existing section depth, measure from the back panel face to the shelf front edge before ordering.
What is the difference between a Lozier Base End Trim and a gondola end cap?
Base End Trim is a vertical finish strip that covers the exposed edge of the terminal Uprite at the aisle face. An end cap in the broader sense refers to the complete terminal section assembly, which includes the Uprite, base bracket, base deck, shelves, and trim components. Base End Trim alone does not constitute a complete end trim assembly.
Lozier gondola end trim finish matching Platinum vs Charcoal
Platinum (PLT) is the standard light beige Lozier finish and is the most common across existing retail installations. Charcoal (CHR) is the standard dark finish. Both are stocked at Lozier distribution centers, though availability by specific SKU, height, and depth combination should be confirmed before ordering. Optional Catalog Colors require 8 to 10 weeks.
Lozier end cap compatibility with existing gondola sections
Lozier end trim components are compatible with all Lozier island and wall sections that use the standard one-inch slotted Uprite pattern. Section width must match the existing run, and base bracket depth must correspond to the shelf depth in the terminal section. Mixing depths within the same terminal section voids the rated load capacity for that section.
