(54) Variable-capacity composite upright, particularly for metal shelvings


(57) The present invention relates to a variable-capacity composite upright, particularly for metal shelvings, comprising a longitudinally extended body obtained by cutting and bending metal plate, which is fixed to a ground resting plate at the end that is lowest on assembly. The body is associable with supporting stringers for the shelves. The composite upright also comprises reinforcement means constituted by at least one longitudinally extended reinforcement element which is obtained by cutting and bending metal plate and is substantially shaped complementarily to part of the surface of the body, with which it is associated through first anchoring means having an upward insertion direction and self-locking when loaded. The reinforcement element rests effectively on the ground together with the body, cooperating therewith to support the load.
