Wall Sections
Lozier wall sections anchor the perimeter of every retail floor plan, and selecting the wrong depth or finish code against an existing installation creates mismatched runs that are expensive to correct. Lozier gondola wall sections are available in depths from 13 to 25 inches, in standard Platinum (PLT) and Charcoal (CHR) finishes, and in 36-inch and 48-inch section widths. Getting the depth and finish right before the order ships is the entire job of this page.
Depth selection for wall sections follows category logic, not personal preference. Health and beauty and HBC categories perform best on 13-inch depth wall sections. Drug and convenience store formats typically use 16-inch depth. Grocery and general merchandise walls are most commonly configured at 19-inch (19D) or 22-inch depth. Hardware and auto parts retailers require 25-inch depth to accommodate bulkier SKUs. Platinum (PLT), a light beige powder coat, is the dominant finish in food, drug, and mass environments. Charcoal (CHR) reads better in home improvement and specialty retail. Both are standard Lozier finishes, though lead times vary by SKU, height, and depth combination.
The ordering error that trips most buyers is specifying wall Uprite height without accounting for the Top Rail and Base Bracket depth simultaneously. A Lozier wall section Uprite must be ordered to match the Base Bracket depth in the same section or the shelf will not seat correctly at the base level. Wall sections also require a Closed Base Front on finished-aisle faces and a Back Extension matched to the shelf depth if pegboard or slotwall merchandising is part of the planogram. Optional Catalog Colors beyond PLT and CHR carry an 8 to 10 week lead time and should never be assumed available from stock. Confirm all non-standard finish orders before committing to a store opening date.

Wall sections are a single-face fixture: every linear foot of wall run you configure here is your full perimeter merchandising capacity, and the depth and height combination you select determines both facing density and whether an anchoring requirement applies.
- Widths: 2ft (24in), 30in, 3ft (36in), and 4ft (48in)
- Heights: 36 to 120in
- Depths: 13 to 28in (single merchandising face; no back panel on the wall side)
- Base types: 06 Standard Base (8in height) or LB Low Base (6in height)
- Bracket types: S (Spring Locking) or HD (Heavy Duty, requires HD uprite)
- Anchoring required when height exceeds the stability ratio for the specified depth: 13in=54in, 16in=72in, 19in=90in, 22in=108in, 25in=120in, 28in=144in
- Standard finishes: CHR (Charcoal Black) base front, PLT (Platinum) uprite
- Back panel options: P, M, ME, W, PW, PM, S, SI, or NBR on the merchandising face
Configuration Reference
Lozier wall sections are available in 36-inch and 48-inch widths. Standard heights run from 48 to 96 inches. Each section requires a matched pair of wall Uprites, a Top Rail, a Base Bracket set, and a Base Deck sized to the shelf depth being used in that run.
Shelf style selection determines how shelves load into the Uprite slot pattern. Tilt-In (TL) shelves engage the one-inch slotted Uprite from the front and lock in place under load. Drop-In (DL) shelves hang vertically into the slot and are standard in most wall gondola configurations. Both styles are compatible with Lozier wall Uprites.
Platinum (PLT) and Charcoal (CHR) are Lozier's two standard wall section finishes. Optional Catalog Colors beyond these two require 8 to 10 weeks from order. Lead times on standard PLT and CHR finishes vary by depth, height, and SKU combination. Confirm availability on all time-sensitive orders before finalizing a purchase.
Back Extensions for wall sections must match the shelf depth of the section. A 19-inch depth wall section requires a 19-inch Back Extension. Mismatched back panels create gaps that compromise both planogram integrity and structural load distribution across the Uprite.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which gondola wall section depth to order for my store?
Depth follows your product category. Health and beauty runs on 13-inch depth, drug and convenience on 16-inch, grocery and general merchandise on 19-inch or 22-inch, and hardware or auto on 25-inch. If you are expanding an existing installation, match the depth already in your store to keep Base Brackets, Base Decks, and Back Extensions interchangeable across the run.
What is the difference between a Tilt-In and a Drop-In Lozier shelf for wall sections?
A Tilt-In (TL) shelf engages the Uprite slot from the front at an angle and locks flat under product load. A Drop-In (DL) shelf slides vertically into the slot from above. Both styles work on standard Lozier wall Uprites. TL shelves are more common in high-traffic wall runs where shelves are repositioned frequently during resets.
Lozier wall section finish codes PLT vs CHR
Platinum (PLT) is a light beige powder coat and the most common finish in food, drug, and mass retail environments. Charcoal (CHR) is a darker finish used in home improvement and specialty retail. Both are standard Lozier finishes, but availability by depth and height combination varies. Call 800-934-6798 to confirm stock before ordering for a time-sensitive opening.
Lozier wall section compatibility with existing gondola installation
Lozier wall sections are compatible with existing Lozier Uprites as long as the Base Bracket depth and Back Extension depth match the shelf depth in the section. Mixing depths within a single wall run creates misalignment at the Top Rail and Base Deck level. Confirm your existing depth before ordering replacement or extension sections.
