Shelves (TL/DL)

Genuine Lozier Tilt-In (TL) and Drop-In (DL) gondola shelves are the workhorses of retail merchandising, engineered to fit your existing Lozier L-Line gondola uprights and deliver dependable product display across every aisle configuration. Whether you need a flat shelf surface or the angular flexibility of a two-position tilt, these shelf types share the same proven dimensional standards, making it straightforward to mix configurations throughout your store without sacrificing system integrity.

Both TL and DL shelves are available in nominal widths of 2', 30", 3', and 4', giving you the flexibility to match your bay spacing precisely. Nominal depths span a broad range, including 7", 10", 13", 15", 16", 17", 19", 20", 22", 25", 28", and 31", so you can optimize product depth by category. Keep in mind that actual usable surface dimensions differ slightly from nominal: shelf top usable width equals the nominal width minus 1/32", and usable depth equals the nominal depth minus 7/16". The TL Tilt-In shelf offers a two-position adjustment, either flat or at a 17-degree downslope, and its molding accommodates a 1.235-inch price tag channel. The TL also features 1/4-inch perforations for clip-on accessories, expanding your merchandising options without additional hardware. These dimensional and functional specifications are consistent across TL and DL shelf types, making planning and reconfigurations predictable.

Finish selection lets you coordinate shelves with your existing gondola color scheme. Standard finishes include Platinum (PLT) and Charcoal (CHR), and Optional Catalog Colors expand your palette further. Standard finish orders typically ship in 1-3 business days, while Optional Catalog Color orders carry an 8-10 week lead time, so factor finish choice into your project timeline. Because Lozier installation instructions specify that components should only be combined with other Lozier products, these shelves are designed exclusively for use within a complete Lozier gondola system. All shelving installation and rearrangement should be performed by trained personnel who have read and understand Lozier's installation instructions and warnings, and load limits must never be exceeded. Confirm specific load ratings and any additional configuration requirements with Lozier before finalizing your layout.

TL shelves are the industry default for grocery and C-store gondola runs, if you are configuring a run, start here.

DL (Drop-In): three angular positions — flat, 17°, or 30° downslope; drops straight onto bracket
DL 30° downslope enables gravity-feed and steep-pitch merchandising — the key DL differentiator

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a TL Tilt-In shelf and a DL Drop-In shelf?

The TL shelf is a two-position Tilt-In shelf with an extended bracket that allows you to set the shelf surface either flat or at a 17-degree downslope, making it ideal for products that benefit from angled presentation. The TL molding accommodates a 1.235-inch price tag channel, and the shelf surface includes 1/4-inch perforations for clip-on accessories. The DL is a Drop-In shelf style that shares the same nominal width and depth dimensions as the TL. Both TL and DL shelf top usable dimensions are measured the same way: usable width equals nominal width minus 1/32", and usable depth equals nominal depth minus 7/16". For further functional differences between the two styles, confirm details with Lozier.

What widths and depths are available for Lozier TL and DL shelves?

Lozier TL and DL shelves are available in nominal widths of 2', 30", 3', and 4'. Nominal depths available include 7", 10", 13", 15", 16", 17", 19", 20", 22", 25", 28", and 31". Remember that the actual usable shelf surface is slightly smaller than the nominal dimension: usable width is the nominal width minus 1/32", and usable depth is the nominal depth minus 7/16". This consistent measurement standard applies across TL, DL, and HL shelf types.

What finish options are available, and how long do they take to ship?

Standard tier finishes for Lozier TL and DL shelves: Platinum (PLT), Charcoal (CHR), Cool White (W08), White (WHT), Gray (GRY), Silver (SIL), and Galvanized (GLV). Optional Catalog Colors broaden your choices further to coordinate with a wider range of store environments. Orders in Standard finishes typically ship in 1-3 business days. Orders in Optional Catalog Colors carry an 8-10 week lead time, so plan accordingly when specifying finish for a remodel or new installation. Lozier installation instructions require that shelving components be used only with other Lozier products, so always verify finish and component compatibility with Lozier before ordering.
