Our local Lowe's stocks them , but have found most others do not. I would do zip code store searches until I found one near you that has the parts.

You may just want to search for something generatic like shelving or take a trip to your local store. The stores near me have a no-name gorilla type rack parts for sale. I believe they are black and you can pick and choose your components. I'm not 100% sure if the hole pattern is compatible with gorilla racks.

Regards,
Anthony

Lowe's search under...Configurable Shelving...then they call it a .....Free Standing Shelving unit...

I have seen , 3 & 5 teir models, or just the ends in two different widths, then the rails, in kits or all separate.

Edsal 72-in H x 77-in W x 24-in D 3-Tier Steel Freestanding Shelving Unit

Item #: 319477 | Model #: 7224PRBWWD3

Or parts list separate. Look at bottom of page for other links to parts.
If you get their brochure it is listed under three different brand names.

I hate to ruin peoples fun, but each store seems to sell a variant. I bought the ones from Sams club and then tried to match them with home depot, no go. The ones that lowes sell do seem to fit the current home depot, but you may want to buy one of the smallest brackets and see if it fits. It may also be that they changed things over time, I bought mine over the last few years. Regardless, it pisses me off that they look so close, yet do not fit each other.

I was in the same situation a year or so ago. I bought a couple of beams from Menards. They fit fine, but sure were a lot wimpier than the old Gorilla Rack.

Well I made the trip to H D after being told that they had the parts. People there asured me that they did not have the parts and that they personally would never tell a customer that the store carried parts.
Called 2 Lowes and you would think I was using a Foreign language.
Maybe time to reinvent the wheel again.

I've seen some that look like they are close and might fit. Can't remember if it was an Edsal or a different brand. Wish I would help. I have a ton of the shelves and love them.
Going to try Lowes in person to day. Maybe seeing what I need will get me something.Thanks.

I have Gorilla Rack and need one more end piece. Anyone from the Midwest willing to ship a 17" x 72" end frame to WA?

If no one has one they're willing to sell/ship, I can get you a new one and ship it. I have a ton of gorilla racks but no 17".

The stuff at Menards isn't called gorilla Rack anymore. It is renamed Extreme Shelving, but it is the same stuff. I'm pretty sure that when I started accumulating it the Gorilla name was used, but my last pieces were Extreme Garage.

They show it on their website, so I imagine they will ship pieces. Probably won't be cheap.

I got mine from Ace Hardware. About a year ago they had them on sale from $75 to $35 (your choice - steel or plastic, hmmm), I got 2. Then a few months ago they had the same sale so I got 2 more. If you can get that sale price it's probably cheaper to buy another unit than parts.

Looking at the website they are now listed as "Colossal Rack," maybe that had something to do with the sales

The Colossal Rack is no the same type.
I have contacted several people at Menards and they will not ship or drop ship components.
jnost I will send you a note about shipping.

I finally found a place in Sacramento Ca that a few hundred parts and pieces. Took what I needed and tried to match. Found some that were about 1/16 off, Me and Dremel made a perfect fit.
