A multi-piece shelf for an electronics rack, the electronics rack having a base and at least two vertical posts. The multi-piece shelf includes at least two side brackets and a removable shelf, the side brackets being separate components from the shelf. Each side bracket includes a vertical wall and a shelf mounting flange that is integral to and extends laterally from the vertical wall. A post mounting flange is integrally attached to at least a portion of the vertical wall for attaching to a vertical post. The removable shelf includes a flat bottom portion with at least two shovel lances formed on and extending downward and rearward from a lower surface of the bottom portion. Each shovel lance having a locking section that is spaced apart from the bottom portion and configured to it into an aperture in the shelf mounting flange.

1. A multi-piece shelf for an electronics rack, the electronics rack having a base and at least two vertical posts; the multi-piece shelf comprising: at least two side brackets and a removable shelf, the side brackets being separate components from the shelf,each side bracket having a vertical wall, and a shelf mounting flange, the shelf mounting flange being integrally attached to and extending laterally from the vertical wall, the vertical walls having a front edge and a rear edge, a post mounting flange is integrally attached to at least a portion of the vertical wall and extends laterally from the vertical wall in a lateral direction opposite from the direction that the shelf mounting flange extends from the vertical wall;the removable shelf includes a substantially planar bottom portion, the bottom portion having a width that is less that the width between the two adjacent side brackets when the side brackets are attached to adjacent vertical posts, the shelf having a front edge with a return flange on at least a portion of the front edge, the return flange including a leg that is substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the planar bottom portion so as to form a gap sufficiently wide to capture a forward edge of the shelf mounting flange, the shelf having at least two shovel lances formed on the shelf, each shovel lance extending downward and rearward from a lower surface of the bottom portion, each shovel lance having a locking section that is spaced apart from the bottom shelf portion; andwherein each shelf mounting flange includes at least one aperture sized to receive a shovel lance, and wherein when the shovel lance is located in the aperture rearward sliding of the shelf relative to the vertical wall causes the locking section of the shovel lance to slide under a portion of the shelf mounting flange and the leg of the return flange to slide under another portion of the shelf mounting flange, thereby removably securing the shelf to the side brackets. 2. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 1, wherein the spacing of the locking section of the shovel lance from a bottom surface of the shelf mounting flange is no greater than the thickness of the shelf mounting flange. 3. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 1, wherein that are at least four shovel lances on the shelf, two on either side of the shelf, and at least two apertures formed in each shelf mounting flange at a location to receive the shovel lances. 4. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 3, wherein the shovel lances are formed from a punched out section of the bottom shelf portion. 5. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 4, wherein the locking section of the shovel lance includes a jog or bent portion. 6. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 4, wherein the shelf and side brackets are formed from metal. 7. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 4, wherein the shelf mounting flange extends from the vertical wall at an approximately 90 degree angle. 8. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 4, wherein the vertical wall of the side bracket and the shelf each includes a plurality of apertures for mounting, clamping or securing components to the shelf and for providing ventilation and lightening. 9. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 8, further comprising a plurality of stop brackets removably attached to the apertures in the shelf for locating and/or attaching components to the shelf. 10. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 8, further comprising at least one support bar having a leg on either end adapted to be attached to the vertical wall provide a connection between adjacent vertical walls. 11. A multi-piece shelf for an electronics rack, the electronics rack having a base and at least two vertical posts; the multi-piece shelf comprising: at least two side brackets and a removable shelf, the side brackets being separate components from the shelf,each side bracket having a vertical wall and a shelf mounting flange, the shelf mounting flange being integrally attached to and extending laterally from the vertical wall at an approximately 90 degree angle, the vertical walls having a front edge and a rear edge, a post mounting flange is integrally attached to at least a portion of the vertical wall and extends laterally from the vertical wall in a lateral direction opposite from the direction that the shelf mounting flange extends from the vertical wall;the removable shelf includes a substantially planar bottom portion, the bottom portion having a width that is less that the width between the two adjacent side brackets when the side brackets are attached to adjacent vertical posts, the shelf having a front edge with a return flange on at least a portion of the front edge, the return flange including a leg that is substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the planar bottom portion so as to form a gap sufficiently wide to capture a forward edge of the shelf mounting flange, the shelf having at least four shovel lances formed on the bottom portion of the shelf, two of the shovel lances on either side of the bottom portion, each shovel lance extending downward and rearward from a lower surface of the bottom portion, each shovel lance having a locking section that is spaced apart from the bottom shelf portion, wherein the spacing of the locking section of the shovel lance from a bottom surface of the shelf mounting flange is no greater than the thickness of the shelf mounting flange;at least one support bar having a leg on either end adapted to be attached to the vertical wall provide a connection between adjacent vertical walls; andwherein each shelf mounting flange includes at least two apertures, each aperture sized to receive one of the shovel lances, and wherein when the shovel lance is located in the aperture rearward sliding of the shelf relative to the vertical wall causes the locking section of the shovel lance to slide under a portion of the shelf mounting flange and the leg of the return flange to slide under another portion of the shelf mounting flange, thereby removably securing the shelf to the side brackets. 12. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 11, wherein the shovel lances are formed from a punched out section of the bottom shelf portion, and wherein the locking section of the shovel lance includes a jog or bent portion. 13. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 12, wherein the shelf and side brackets are formed from metal, and wherein the vertical wall of the side bracket and the shelf each includes a plurality of apertures for mounting, clamping or securing components to the shelf and for providing ventilation and lightening. 14. A multi-piece shelf according to claim 13, further comprising a plurality of stop brackets removably attached to the apertures in the shelf for locating and/or attaching components to the shelf.
