72in Steel Z-Beam Pair

The Global Industrial 23CP72ZB provides two 72in steel Z-beams for shelving systems. Each beam uses a 12-gauge construction with three-hook connectors at both ends. The boltless design allows tool-free installation and adjustment at 2in increments. This pair suits warehouses or archives adding load-bearing levels to existing uprights.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The 12-gauge steel resists deflection across the full 72in span when loaded evenly. Boltless connectors maintain a positive lock without hardware that can loosen over time. Adjustment increments stay aligned after repeated reconfiguration cycles. The formed step profile distributes weight across the beam depth rather than concentrating stress at the hooks.

12-Gauge Connector Specification

The three-hook, 12-gauge connector determines compatibility with matching upright slots and maximum shelf capacity. Buyers needing a different gauge or hook count cannot use these beams with their current frames. The pair packaging fixes the minimum purchase at two beams for a single level.

Questions about this item

Does the 12-gauge steel Z-beam generate any noise or heat when fully loaded for continuous daily use?

The beams are passive steel components with no moving parts, so they produce no noise and no heat regardless of load.

What existing shelving system must I already own for these 72-inch step beams to bolt into place?

They require compatible Global Industrial uprights with matching connector slots; the 3-hook ends lock directly into those uprights without extra hardware.

Will the 23CP72ZB beams fit older Global Industrial uprights I have been using for years?

Yes, the 3-hook connector design matches the standard slot pattern on legacy Global Industrial uprights, so the beams install without modification.
