      <p>Hello all. We’re here today to do a comparison between the Ranger shelving system and the Pack shelving system.</p>
      <p>At first glance, there are a number of similarities between them. The first thing you notice is the shelf design — aluminum extrusion with a non-metal shelf bottom.</p>
      <p>Ranger shelving has aluminum extrusion front and rear. The shelf bottom is a marine-grade plywood with a laminate on both the top and bottom surfaces. The benefit of that is noise reduction — parts aren’t bouncing on a metal shelf. However, being wood, it does add some weight, and if you spill liquids or water on the shelf, there’s a possibility of it soaking into the wood and causing issues.</p>
      <p>By comparison, the Pack shelving also uses an aluminum extrusion design, but the shelf bottom is an ultra-lightweight composite material with a honeycomb design for rigidity. Another difference with the Pack shelf extrusion is that the throat is slightly deeper, which provides more grip and keeps the shelf more secure over time.</p>
      <p>Ranger’s end panel design is a steel panel with a return for strength, deeper than the shelves themselves. Pack’s aluminum panel has a rolled edge that sits tight against the front and rear shelf extrusions.</p>
      <p>Measurements:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Ranger shelf depth: 14 in (same as Pack)</li>
        <li>Ranger end panel: 16 in</li>
        <li>Pack end panel: 15¼ in</li>
        <li>Ranger distance off wall: 17½ in</li>
        <li>Pack distance off wall: 15¾ in</li>
      </ul>
      <p>Ranger’s taper starts around 4½ ft, while Pack’s starts lower (around 3 ft), allowing Pack to sit closer to the wall for more aisle space.</p>
      <p>Ranger shelf depths: 14, 14, 14, 12 in. Pack shelf depths: 14, 14, 12, 11 in — slightly shallower but better wall fit.</p>
      <p>Accessories:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Both systems have bins that fit perfectly into the shelves.</li>
        <li>Ranger includes a center divider; cross dividers optional.</li>
        <li>Pack includes both center and cross dividers standard.</li>
        <li>Pack’s dividers feature thumb tabs for easy removal and adjustment; Ranger’s require a tool.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>Weight comparison:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Ranger unit: 78 lbs (without accessories)</li>
        <li>Pack unit: 52 lbs (without accessories) — about 33% lighter</li>
      </ul>
      <p>And that’s a wrap on comparing Ranger to Pack.</p>
