Ergotron Large Utility Shelf
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron Large Utility Shelf (97-540-053) - Local Warranty
Built for Projectors, Printers and Small Peripherals
Ergotron's description names the payload: this secure and sturdy shelf supports projectors, printers and other small peripherals on select Ergotron carts or walls. It is the shelf specified when something with real weight and a footprint has to travel with the cart.
Ships With Cart, Wall Plate and Wall Track Mounts
Ergotron's installation guide for the Large Utility Shelf lists three mounting components in the box — a cart mount, a wall plate mount and a wall track mount — plus security screws and the matching five-sided security wrench. One part number covers a mobile install, a plain wall and an Ergotron wall track.
Security Fasteners for Equipment That Would Walk
A projector or a label printer on an accessible shelf is exactly the sort of item that goes missing. The supplied security screws and dedicated wrench mean removing it takes the right tool rather than a firm pull.

Published Specification Limits
| Named Compatible Carts | Not published by Ergotron — its description says only "select Ergotron carts or walls" |
| Materials, Finish, Shipping Weight | Not published by Ergotron |
| Note | An earlier version of this listing stated 15.5 x 8.0 x 2.0 inches. That does not match the figures in Ergotron's own guide and is not traceable to any Ergotron source, so it has been removed |
Compatibility & Fit
Ergotron describes the shelf as fitting "select Ergotron carts or walls" without naming the carts, and its installation guide supplies three separate mounts — cart, wall plate and wall track — so the same part covers all three installations. It also prints "brackets sold separately", which is worth reading before you assume the box is complete for your particular mounting.
On the numbers, we would rather be precise about our uncertainty than confident and wrong. Ergotron's guide prints 13" (330 mm) and 11" (279 mm), and capacities of under 25 lb (11.3 kg) and under 8 lb (3.6 kg) — but as callouts on a drawing rather than in labelled rows, so which figure belongs to the shelf and which to a mount is not stated in the document. If you are specifying this for a projector at the top of that range, ask us and we will get the assignment confirmed by Ergotron before you order.
The previous version of this listing gave 15.5 x 8.0 x 2.0 inches, which matches nothing in Ergotron's guide; it has been removed. For lighter storage on the back of a cart or a wall track, the standard Utility Shelf (97-507-216) is the alternative, though Ergotron publishes no figures for it at all.

The installation guide is the source of the dimensions, capacities and box contents on this page. Note that it does not print the part number 97-540-053 — it is linked to this product by product name, which is why we present its figures as the guide's rather than as an assigned rating.
Frequently Asked Questions — Ergotron Large Utility Shelf
What is the Large Utility Shelf for?
Ergotron's own words: supporting projectors, printers and other small peripherals on select Ergotron carts or walls.
How much weight does it hold?
Ergotron's installation guide prints two capacities — under 25 lb (11.3 kg) and under 8 lb (3.6 kg) — as drawing callouts rather than labelled rows, so which belongs to the shelf and which to a mount is not stated. For a load near the top of that range, ask us to confirm with Ergotron first.
What size is it?
The guide prints 13" (330 mm) and 11" (279 mm). The 15.5 x 8.0 x 2.0 inches on the previous version of this page matched nothing in Ergotron's documentation and has been removed.
Can I mount it on a wall as well as a cart?
Yes. Ergotron supplies three mounts in the box: a cart mount, a wall plate mount and a wall track mount.
Is it secure?
Security screws and a five-sided security wrench are supplied, so equipment on the shelf cannot be lifted off with ordinary tools.
Which carts does it fit?
Ergotron says only "select Ergotron carts" and names none. Send us your cart part numbers and we will confirm.
Does it come with a warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every Ergotron Large Utility Shelf sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice. Ergotron's current published warranty schedule sets terms by product category — carts, mounts, desks — and has no category covering cart accessories, so we do not quote a manufacturer duration on this page; ask us and we will confirm the current term with Ergotron for your order.
