Ideal for Many Different Environments

Heavy duty metal shelving stands out as a complete storage system ideal for many different environments. Whether you’re managing a warehouse, setting up a retail store, or simply optimizing your garage, these shelves are designed to handle substantial loads while maximizing your space utilisation. In this blog, we’ll explore the features and benefits of longspan steel shelving and why it’s the perfect choice for your storage needs.

Features

Some of the key advantages of longspan, heavy duty shelving derive from the following features:

Load Capacity

These shelves are designed to support large weight loads, making them ideal for heavy-duty use in various storage applications. Our heavy duty range is designed to carry large weight loads up to 300Kg per level as a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL).

Adjustable Heights Versatile Design

The shelves are easily adjustable up and down, so you can set them at any height to accommodate different sized items.

If you require shelving with 2 or 3 tiers or with 5 tiers that's not a problem. We sell individual components and shelving kits, so you can build whatever configuration you need for your storage requirements.

Durable Coating

All our long span products are powder-coated to provide an aesthetically pleasing and durable finish that is hard wearing and resistant to corrosion.

Ease of Assembly

Installation of our longspan shelving is easy and does not require any tools, bolts or brackets. There arn't any bolts attaching the beams tot he uprights. Our longspan shelving utilises a click-in system, whereby the horizontal beams and the decks simply slot into place.

Extendable Shelving

Lonspan shelving is designed so that units can be joined together. We have add on kits (one upright post rather than 2, will not stand alone) that can be connected to a existing, free standing shelving unit to make a connected row of shelving.

All our shelving, tyre racks and workbenches have available add on kits that you can see as you browse our range here.

Benefits

Strength and Durability

Our heavy duty shelving is engineered from high quality steel to support significant weight without bending or buckling. The 0.5mm thick shelf panels are reinforced underneath with back supports. This support completely eliminates weak points and helps to prevent bowing. So each tier has a heavy weight capacity.

Versatility for Various Applications

These heavy duty metal shelving units are designed for commercial usage, but they also look great. So they are highly versatile equally at home in industrial storage applications like warehouses as they are in retail spaces, cold storage environments or being used as heavy duty garage shelving.

They are ideal for storing machinery parts, bulk retail goods, industrial equipment, archive storage and general purpose carton storage.

Space Optimization

Our shelving range comes in heights of 2.0m, 2.4m and 2.7m and widths of 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m and 2.5m. So it's easy to configure your storage system to make the most of your available vertical space and floor area.

Enhanced Safety

Each shelving unit has floor plates with predrilled holes. So the units can be fixed to the floor for added safety and security. We also have floor leveling plates or shims that can be used to level up the shelving units when the floor is uneven.

Improved Accessibility and Visibility

The shelving is open from both sides. So stored items are easy to find and can be retreived quickly. In a commercial setting, this improves efficiency and the workflow of the operation.
