A connector assembly for connecting adjacent horizontal beams of a storage rack to an imperforate post substantially without permanently deforming and damaging the imperforate post. The connector assembly includes a pair of connectors that have support plates which are welded or otherwise secured to the beams and interlockingly engageable fingers that substantially prevent the connector assembly from being pulled apart when the beams are under load. A supplementary fastener connects the support plates and firmly clamps the connector assembly to the post.

A connector assembly for connecting a pair of generally elongated horizontal beams of adjacent storage rack sections to an upright imperforate post, comprising: a first generally planar support plate extending entirely across and fixedly secured to an end of one of said beams, said first support plate being positioned generally perpendicular to the length of said beam; a second generally planar support plate extending entirely across and fixedly secured to an end of the other of said beams, said second support plate being positioned generally perpendicular to the length of said other beam; a first set of gripping fingers extending longitudinally from said first support plate in a direction generally towards the second beam; a second set of gripping fingers extending longitudinally from the second support plate in a direction generally towards the first beam for interlockingly engaging and gripping said first set of fingers to substantially prevent said connector assembly from being pulled apart when said beams are under load; said first and second set of fingers each having a generally planar back surface lying in generally coplanar relationship to each other for abuttingly engaging and substantially lying flush against a common outer face of said imperforate post; and removable fastening means extending between and connecting said first and second support plates for compressively fastening said first and second support plates to said imperforate post.
