Abstract
The retail merchandise tray has a load bearing member formed from a rail attached to a mounting plate. The mounting plate and rail form a downward opening notch for mounting to a tray support structure. The tray may have a locating flange that carries a locating pin that engages a tray support structure. The locating pin locates the tray along the tray support structure. The tray may have at least one divider assembly. The divider assembly includes outward extending offset projections that can prevent an adjacent tray from contacting the divider wall.
