Those look like Glenn Snyder shelves, but they're too far away to be sure. I just ordered 216 feet of the Glenn Snyder shelves for pickup at York, save me a ton of shipping.
I thought the same that it looked like GS shelving. I ordered GS shelving for a York pickup also. But you beat me, I only ordered 150 feet.

Well, I have an 18 foot wall to fill. I computed that I can comfortably fit twelve rows of shelves, so that's 36 pieces.
I have a clue for you. Have them leave it in the truck and just drive next to their truck to load it up. If you have them bring it into the Orange Hall, you'll be lugging it out to your vehicle in multiple trips! I'm pretty sure 36 of these 6 foot pieces would be more than I'd want to do in one load!
I'll take a closer picture of them. They are aluminum, have the groves cut out. I just needed to drill holes and mounted with wall dog brand screws. They're holding up my nice heavy post war Turbine perfectly. The pricing per 4 ft with shipping was really reasonable. And shipping was quick. Of course it was from PA to Ohio. Here's a screen shot of the website.

Those are different than GS shelving. Also slightly more money for a 4 ft section vs 6 ft GS shelving. Although yours does not have a center rail that hangs up the pickup rollers.
Those are different, I like those with the grooves, good idea. However, for $20 for a six footer, the Glenn Snyder shelves. come in at $3.33/foot instead of $6/foot, and since I'm paying no shipping, it's way cheaper to go that way. I do like the look of those, too bad they're so expensive.
I'll have to look into the GS shelving. Unfortunately, I'm just a newbie. Don't need all that much shelving right now. Give me a couple years and I'll need it!
I used to love the RailRax shelves. They too were anodized aluminum, but with a reflective finish. However, they went out of business. So, at the end of the shelves I had too much wall left. I filled the void with GS shelves. They were pretty much the same but for the finish. Where I placed them didn’t really show the difference. I’m happy with them, however, I do like the shiny finish of the RailRax better. But, they’re history. The GS shelves only comprised, at most, 5% of my shelving.
These look like good shelves however unlike some other shelves there are only grooved to one gauge. I believe the Glen Snyder ones are grooved for several different gauges.

Looks like they make them for ho Guage as well.
