Multi-Function
The Lozier Multi-Function Shelving System is a versatile, high-capacity retail shelving solution engineered to integrate seamlessly with your existing Lozier gondola shelving. Designed for installations up to 96 inches tall, the system uses dedicated Multi-Function Uprites (part prefix MFU) that bolt directly onto standard Lozier gondola uprites, letting you expand your fixture footprint without replacing your current investment. Every genuine Multi-Function Beam is stamped with an MK identifier at the right end, and every Multi-Function Shelf Support carries an MF stamp, so field verification is fast and reliable. The system supports both Regular Duty and Heavy Duty configurations: a Regular Duty MF Post and Gondola Uprite combined supports up to 4,000 lbs, while a Reinforced MF Post and Gondola Uprite combined supports up to 5,000 lbs, giving buyers the flexibility to match hardware to their actual load requirements.
