Understanding Lozier Part Numbers
Decode Lozier gondola part numbers: component type, section width, depth, and finish codes. Examples for uprights, shelves, base brackets, and rails included.
Ordering the wrong Lozier component because of a misread part number is a weeks-long correction understanding the SKU format prevents that mistake.
- Component prefix identifies the product type: U=Uprite, BB=Base Bracket, TL=TL Shelf, DL=DL Shelf, SD=Standard Deck, R=Rail
- Width encoding: single digit for common widths (4=48in section, 3=36in section); multi-digit where width is stated explicitly
- Depth encoding: two-digit number following width (22=22in, 16=16in, 19=19in); some components use depth range codes
- Finish suffix: 3-letter code appended with period separator (PLT=Platinum, CHR=Charcoal Black, W08=Cool White, GRY=Gray)
- Modifier codes: N=standard slot spacing; S=short; L=long; D=double-slot appear between depth and finish suffix
- Height codes for uprights: number in inches appended directly (U84.W08 = Uprite 84in Cool White)
Lozier part numbers encode component type, section width, depth, and finish in a structured alphanumeric format. Once you understand the pattern, you can identify any component directly from the part number, verify it matches an existing fixture, and order replacements without a full catalog lookup. Misreading a part number particularly confusing width and depth encoding is one of the most common ordering errors on gondola projects.
Part Number Structure
A Lozier part number follows this general pattern:
[Component Code][Width][Depth][Modifier].[Finish]
Not all components use every field uprights use height not depth, and rails use length not depth. The examples below cover the most common component types.
Component Code Reference
| Prefix | Component | Example |
|---|---|---|
| U | Uprite (upright) | U84.W08 84in Uprite, Cool White |
| BB | Base Bracket | BB2206S.CHR 22in depth, 6in height, standard, Charcoal |
| SD | Standard Base Deck | SD422N.W08 48in width, 22in depth, standard slot, Cool White |
| TL | TL Shelf (flat) | TL422N.W08 48in width, 22in depth, standard, Cool White |
| DL | DL Shelf (downslope) | DL416N.PLT 48in width, 16in depth, standard, Platinum |
| R | Rail | R4T.W08 48in (4ft) rail, top position, Cool White |
| BE | Back Extension | BE448P.W08 48in width, 48in height, pegboard, Cool White |
Width Encoding
Section width is encoded as a single digit for the two standard widths: 4 for 48in sections and 3 for 36in sections. Components that span a run (rails, back extensions) use this single-digit encoding. Shelf and base components that specify width explicitly use 4 for 48in and 3 for 36in in the same position.
Depth Encoding
Depth follows the width digit as a two-digit number in inches: 13=13in, 16=16in, 19=19in, 22=22in, 25=25in. On base bracket part numbers, depth and height are encoded together BB2206 means 22in depth, 6in height base bracket.
Finish Suffix
The finish code appears after a period separator at the end of the part number. Common standard finish codes: PLT (Platinum), CHR (Charcoal), W08 (Cool White), WHT (White), GRY (Gray). Catalog finish codes use 2-3 letter alphanumeric codes N81 (Classic Copper), Q88 (Silver Vein). Always verify finish codes against current Lozier documentation, as codes can change between product generations.
Compatible Products
- Uprights U prefix; height in inches; finish suffix (U84.CHR = 84in Charcoal)
- TL and DL Shelves TL or DL prefix; width digit + depth digits + modifier + finish
- Base Brackets BB prefix; depth + height encoding + type modifier + finish
- Island Sections complete island sections combining all component types

How do I read a Lozier shelf part number?
A Lozier shelf part number follows this pattern: TL or DL (shelf type) + width digit (4=48in, 3=36in) + depth digits (16=16in, 22=22in) + modifier (N=standard) + period + finish code (PLT, CHR, W08). Example: TL422N.PLT is a 48in wide, 22in deep TL shelf in Platinum. DL416N.W08 is a 48in wide, 16in deep DL shelf in Cool White.
What does the finish code mean in a Lozier part number?
The finish code is the 2-3 letter alphanumeric suffix after the period in a Lozier part number. Standard finish codes include PLT (Platinum), CHR (Charcoal Black), W08 (Cool White), WHT (White), GRY (Gray), and SIL (Silver). Catalog finishes use different alphanumeric codes. The finish code must match the finish of adjacent components in the same run mixing finish codes in a single run produces a visually inconsistent result.
How do I find the part number on an existing Lozier gondola component?
Part numbers are typically stamped or stenciled on the underside of shelves, on the back face of uprights, and on the inside face of base brackets. On older installations where surface markings have faded, measure the component dimensions (width, depth, and height) and match them to the part number format. The finish code can be cross-referenced visually against known finish samples if the stamped code is not legible.
Can I mix Lozier components with different part number generations?
Lozier maintains backward compatibility for most standard components a current-production TL shelf will fit uprights from older installations if the upright slot pattern is the same. However, finish codes change between generations and a current PLT finish may not match an older PLT finish visually. For additions to existing installations, order sample components before placing a full order to verify dimensional and finish compatibility.
What is the difference between a standard and Load Easer base bracket part number?
Load Easer base brackets are identified by the LE prefix in their part number (LEBB) versus the standard BB prefix. The depth, height, and finish encoding follows the same format as standard base brackets. Load Easer brackets are rated at 1,100 lbs for 13-19in depths and 1,300 lbs for 22-31in depths. Standard base brackets are rated for normal packaged goods loads. Verify the bracket type matches the load requirements for the category before ordering.
