Everything you need to know about The OmniShelf.
1.) The desired surface must be clean and rust free. With the OmniShelf, (Portable Magnetic Workstation), closed, attach it to a metal surface that is 16 gauge or thicker. Make sure hands and fingers are not between the shelf and the wall while attaching. The OmniShelf must be in full contact with the surface.
2.) Pull the OmniShelf open by pulling on the handle or the top corners.
3.) To remove the OmniShelf from the wall, close the OmniShelf, then pull the shelf from the bottom two corners. Do not try removing the shelf by pulling on the handle. The handle could break and possibly cause injury.
1.) Before attaching the OmniShelf to the wall, ensure the surface is smooth and that both the surface and suction cups are clean.
2.) With the OmniShelf closed press the shelf against the surface until the suction cups are compressed.
3.) Open the OmniShelf by pulling on the handle or top two corners.
4.) To insure full compression of each suction cup, press on each suction cup until each is fully compressed.
5.) If the surface is not completely clean and smooth, the suction cups will become decompressed. Keep an eye on each cup. If signs of decompression is present it is recommended to remove the shelf and re clean the surface and the cups. You can also, reseat the suction cups periodically to maintain full suction.
6.) To remove the OmniShelf, close the shelf.
7.) With it closed, grab both sides of the shelf. With the index or middle finger pull up on the release tabs on each suction cup to release from the wall.
With the OmniShelf mounted to the desired surface, open by pulling on the inside part of the handle or by grabbing and pulling the top corners.
The max weight that can be safely placed onto the OmniShelf is 40 pounds. This is the case when using magnets or suction cups.
No, the mounting magnets use a steel cup that causes the magnet to be one directional. They are attached to the OmniShelf using stainless steel bolts and nuts. There is minimal magnetism on the inside of the OmniShelf. It is perfectly safe to close a laptop inside the OmniShelf.
No, the OmniShelf is not water or weather proof. It can only be used as a temporary case. For your convenience a laptop or tools can be closed inside while moving from work site to work site.
OmniShelf can be used on any clean metal surface with the magnetic mount or on smooth surfaces like glass and finished walls with the suction cup option. It works great on job sites, inside buildings, and in controlled environments like data centers.
Suction cups work best on smooth non porous surfaces such as glass, tile, finished metal, and sealed surfaces. Rough or dirty surfaces may reduce suction performance.
When properly installed on a clean smooth surface, the suction cups provide a strong and reliable hold. It is recommended to check them periodically and reseat if needed to maintain full suction.
Yes, OmniShelf is designed to be flexible. You can use magnetic mounting when working on metal surfaces and switch to suction cups when working on smooth non metal surfaces.
OmniShelf uses an adjustable Y pattern magnetic system that allows the magnets to adapt to different surface shapes. This gives you a strong hold even when the surface is not perfectly flat.
Yes, OmniShelf is designed with an adjustable Y pattern that allows it to mount to columns and beams up to 4 inches wide. This makes it ideal for job sites where flat mounting surfaces are not always available.
The Y pattern allows the magnets to spread out and adjust to the surface. This improves stability and contact, giving you a more secure hold compared to a flat fixed mounting system.
Yes, the adjustable magnetic layout helps OmniShelf maintain contact on slightly uneven or irregular metal surfaces. For best results, make sure the surface is clean and that the shelf is fully seated.
OmniShelf is designed to be safe for most surfaces when used properly. Always make sure the mounting surface and the shelf are clean before attaching to prevent debris from causing scratches.
Yes, OmniShelf works great in indoor environments including offices, mechanical rooms, and data centers. The suction cup option makes it especially useful for finished spaces.
Yes, OmniShelf is designed for tight work areas. It gives you a compact workspace without needing extra tables or equipment, making it ideal for confined environments.
No, OmniShelf does not require any permanent installation. It mounts instantly using magnets or suction cups and can be removed just as easily.
Yes, OmniShelf is portable and can be carried between job sites. It can hold tools or a laptop inside while moving, but it is not designed as a permanent storage case.
OmniShelf is designed to hold laptops, tools, testing equipment, and job site essentials. As long as the total weight stays within the recommended limit, it provides a stable workspace.
Yes, OmniShelf is ideal for service technicians who need a quick and reliable workspace. It helps reduce time spent setting up and keeps tools within reach during service calls.
For best performance, always attach to a clean surface, ensure full contact with the mount, and check that the shelf is securely in place before use.
