There are other brands that have the same dimensions. ( I just noticed this
the other day, and there was some brand name other than Unistrut stamped
into the extrusion in a chunk I was using.) Cooper Industries has "B-Line"
(http://www.b-line.com/)
Electrical places catering to the electrical trades (Graybar, Royal
Electric, All-Phase) carry the stuff. Graybar has places all over (There
used to be one near the 405 in Van Nuys)
ALL PHASE ELECTRIC SUPPLY CO. 2101 EMPIRE AVENUE BURBANK, CA 91510
There's some company in North Hollywood (just north of Chandler, on
Satsuma, I think, but I'll have to check) that sells used racking and
shelving. Everything from those big orange racks like at Home Depot on
down. I'm thinking it's R.L.Spears, but that's an auction company.
Are you looking for the steel or the aluminum kind?
The 1-5/8 x 1-5/8 inch size (the standard one) should run around
$2/ft. McMasterCarr is a bit more ($3/ft?)
