Configuration Reference
Lozier gondola rails are available in four widths: 24, 30, 36, and 48 inches. Depth options run from 9 to 24 inches across the catalog. Standard finishes are Platinum (PLT), Charcoal (CHR), and W08 White. These three finishes carry the shortest lead times in this category and are the correct choice for replacement orders against existing store installations.
Splicer Rails must match the width of the Uprite sections they join. A width mismatch prevents full slot engagement on both Uprites and leaves the gondola run without a secure lateral connection. This is one of the most common ordering errors on rail reorders, particularly when a store has mixed 36-inch and 48-inch sections in the same run.
Optional Catalog Colors for Lozier rails, including GRY, Q88, QL6, SIL, RBL, MG1, QG8, and WHT, require 8 to 10 weeks of production lead time. These finishes are not stocked at distribution and are produced to order. Do not specify Optional Catalog Colors on time-sensitive installations without a confirmed ship date from the manufacturer.
Rail depth selection must align with the Base Bracket depth in the same section. Using a shallower rail than the bracket in the same section reduces the structural continuity of the run and can affect rated load capacity on the shelves above. Depths in this catalog range from 9 to 24 inches to cover configurations from health and beauty to grocery and general merchandise applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Top Rail, Center Rail, Bottom Rail, and Splicer Rail on a Lozier gondola?
Each rail type serves a distinct structural role in the gondola section. The Top Rail runs along the uppermost connection point between two Uprites, the Center Rail spans the mid-section, and the Bottom Rail anchors the lower run. The Splicer Rail connects two adjacent Uprite sections end-to-end and must match the section width exactly to engage both Uprite slot patterns.
How do I know which width Lozier gondola rail to order for my store?
The rail width must match the section width of the installed Lozier Uprites in your gondola run. Lozier rails in this catalog come in 24, 30, 36, and 48-inch widths. Check your existing section width before ordering, because a rail that is even one size off will not seat correctly in the Uprite slot pattern on both ends.
Lozier gondola rail finish codes for existing store match
The two most common finishes in existing retail installations are Platinum (PLT) and Charcoal (CHR). W08 White is prevalent in pharmacy and health and beauty sections. If your installation uses an Optional Catalog Color such as GRY, Q88, or QL6, expect an 8 to 10 week lead time on replacement rails. Call 800-934-6798 to confirm finish availability before committing to a timeline.
Lozier rail depth selection guide for gondola sections
Rail depth must correspond to the bracket and shelf depth in the same gondola section. This catalog covers depths from 9 to 24 inches. Shallow depths in the 9 to 12-inch range suit wall sections with lighter product loads, while 18 to 24-inch depths are used in grocery and general merchandise island configurations where bracket depth is greater and load requirements are higher.
