Folding shelf brackets heavy duty white from Knape and Vogt provide a compact way to support work surfaces that need to move out of the way. These 12 inch folding shelf brackets are spring loaded to automatically lock, so the arm engages firmly as it is raised, giving a stable support point for a shelf or work surface without extra steps. The bracket locks in at 4 positions - flat, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, and 90 degrees - which lets you choose the working angle or stow position that suits the installation. When left flat, the arm sits against the wall line, helping keep narrow corridors or tight rooms clear until the surface is needed. Used for hospitals, service stations among others, this folding design serves in spaces where clear floor area during idle time is as important as sturdy support in use.
The 12 inch Knape and Vogt folding shelf brackets lock in at flat, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, and 90 degrees, so an installer can set up a horizontal work surface or choose a slight slope by stopping at 80 or 70 degrees. Because the bracket is spring loaded to automatically lock, the arm engages as it is raised, minimizing extra handling at awkward heights or in tight alcoves. The front locking lever then provides the release point, allowing the user to lower the arm without reaching behind stored items along the wall. With a stated load rating of 750 lb per pair when mounted to studs, these folding shelf brackets suit projects where the wall framing provides the structural backing, aligning the support with common stud-based wall construction.
The Knape and Vogt folding shelf brackets heavy duty white are used for hospitals, service stations among others, placing them in environments that demand frequent movement of work surfaces. In a hospital setting, the four locking positions - flat, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, and 90 degrees - support fold-down work tops in corridors or patient rooms, so staff can deploy a stable writing or equipment surface and then return it to flat when clear passage is needed. In a service station, the same folding action helps create temporary counters or tool staging shelves that return to the wall line between uses, keeping work bays open for vehicle movement. The white finish lets these folding shelf brackets align visually with painted drywall or casework, helping the support hardware sit quietly behind clinical or commercial design schemes.
The load rated at 750 lb per pair when mounted to studs indicates that the folding shelf brackets are intended for substantial loads when properly tied into framed walls, allowing installers to plan for heavier equipment, tools, or stacked supplies on the supported surface. The spring loaded mechanism that automatically locks reduces the steps needed to secure the arm in position, which can save motion during repetitive folding cycles in a busy service area or ward. Because the bracket locks specifically at flat, 70, 80, and 90 degrees, the angle does not drift once engaged, supporting repeatable positioning when multiple brackets are mounted in a row under the same shelf. The front locking lever concentrates the release control at the front, which is helpful when the surface depth or adjacent fixtures limit side access, allowing users to change positions while standing in the normal working location. With a 12 inch depth identified in the product description and a manufacturer part number of 206 WH 12, each bracket presents a consistent geometry for planning shelf dimensions, and the named product class Folding Shelf Brackets signals that this hardware is dedicated to fold-up support rather than fixed shelving.
The Knape and Vogt 206 WH 12 folding shelf bracket supports shelves or work surfaces that need to fold away, serving locations such as hospitals and service stations where clear floor space is important.
The folding shelf bracket locks in 4 positions - flat, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, and 90 degrees - so the surface can be set horizontal, slightly angled, or folded flat against the wall.
The spring loaded design automatically locks the arm as it is raised, which simplifies moving the shelf into position and keeps the support engaged without separate locking parts.
The folding shelf brackets are load rated at 750 lb per pair when mounted to studs, guiding how much weight the supported shelf or work surface is intended to carry.
The front locking lever places the release at the front of the bracket, which lets users fold the surface down from the working edge without reaching behind the shelf or toward the wall.
The white finish on these folding shelf brackets blends with typical hospital and service station wall colors, so the support hardware remains visually unobtrusive under shelves or fold-down worktops.
The Knape and Vogt 12 inch folding shelf brackets heavy duty white combine a 750 lb per pair rating, spring loaded automatic locking, and a front locking lever to support demanding fold-down work surfaces. With four fixed positions at flat, 70, 80, and 90 degrees, these Folding Shelf Brackets help you design hospital or service station layouts that alternate between stable worktops and clear walkways or bays. For projects calling for a robust, wall-mounted folding support in a neutral white finish, this 206 WH 12 model offers defined geometry and load guidance to plan your shelving or work surface installation.
