1.0 Longspan Shelving

Longspan shelving units are the ultimate storage solution - they have the strength and durability of industrial shelving that you would see in warehouse storage solutions, yet look great, which makes them ideal for garage storage. They are equally at home as shelving for the garage as they are in a commercial setting.

Our high quality garage shelves are reliable, versatile and ideal for storing:

• Plastic tubs, pots, buckets, cartons and archive boxes
• Car roof-top luggage boxes
• Sports equipment and fitness gear
• Camping gear
• Toys
• Car repair and maintenance gear
• Beach and surf gear
• Power tools and spare parts
  
• Garden tools and maintenance equipment
• Miscellaneous heavy items of irregular size and shape.

Long span shelving is open, so it’s easy to see what’s there and get at the materials stored on the shelves. It’s also efficient in terms of access and space utilization, as there aren’t any doors to open. 

1.1 Standard Duty Longspan

Our Standard Duty range of white garage shelving is powder coated in a neutral off-white colour that will fit into most situations. There are two shelving unit sizes: 

• 1.5mWx0.5mDx2.0mH, 120Kg/ level
• 2.0mWx0.6mDx2.0mH, 200Kg/ level

These white shelving units are designed for light to medium duty storage and are popular for storing cartons, tubs and miscellaneous items.

1.2 Heavy Duty Longspan

Our Heavy Duty long span range in an orange, blue and white colour and is rated to a weight capacity or load rating of 300Kg/ level (evenly distributed). It comes in a full range of sizes, as shown in the table below. So the heavy duty shelving racks can be mix-n-matched to fit any sized space.

Each shelving unit is built from high quality steel for heavy duty use and will handle just about anything you are likely to store in a garage, apart from the heaviest engine components. We also have two lower weight-rated units in the heavy duty range (see below): 

• 1.0mWx0.5mDx2.0mH, 150Kg/L
• 1.5mWx0.5mDx2.0mH, 150Kg/L

They complement the 300Kg load rating units and are often used for lighter storage situations. They are similarly tri-coloured, so they can be easily co-ordinated with the 300kg/L units.

How deep should garage shelves be? 50cm is OK for smaller items, however, a depth of 60cm provides flexibility and is ideal for more bulky items. 

2.0 Workbenches

Our workbenches are made from all steel and are part of our 300Kg/L, Heavy Duty shelving system. They can be used separately or connected into a row with another heavy duty garage workbench or with other longspan shelving units in the range. The workbenches are 0.95m high and come in widths of 1.0m, 1.5m, 2.0m and 2.5m, so they can they can accommodate any size DIY projects and fit into whatever space you have available in your garage workshop. You can replace the steel worksurface with your own timber inserts if required (there aren't any drawers to complicate installation).

3.0 Tyre Racking

Our tyre racks are also part of our 300Kg/L, Heavy Duty, garage shelving system and they come in all the same sizes. They have the durability of warehouse racking and are a great addition for your garage, if you have a set of spare or seasonal tyres on their rims.

Benefits of Our Range of Garage Shelving

We have a broad range of metal shelving to help you organize and reduce the clutter in your garage, shed or workshop. Our garage racking system comes in a range of different sizes, load ratings and finishes to match the look and needs of your storage area. So you can easily customize your storage to suit your requirements.

Strong and Durable So Your Investment Will Last

All the garage storage racks in our range are aesthetically pleasing, yet built like commercial shelving from extremely strong and durable materials. We use quality steel and powder coat it for long-term durability. The powder coating provides long lasting resistance to rust, so your garage racking will continue to look clean and professional for many years.

Easy Installation

Our long span shelving units are designed for strength and ease of assembly. They come with fully welded uprights (one complete, pre-welded piece) for extra rigidity and strength. The shelves or decks are also braced underneath for extra strength.

There's not struggling to find the right tools for assembling the racking. The cross beams simply slot into “butterfly-shaped” grooves on the outside of the uprights. The shelving decks then simply slide onto a grooved ledge on the inside of the beams. So the shelves are easy to setup and adjust up and down. Importantly, they are also easy to disassemble and can be flat packed for transport, when moving home.

Easy to Reconfigure

Being easy to assemble means our garage shelving is also easy to disassemble and reconfigure as required. This makes the units easy to adjust as your storage needs change or to transport and reconfigure if you need to move. Our range of long span shelving can change as your shelving needs change. 

Having adjustable shelving means you can specify the number of shelves per bay. You can also adjust the various shelf heights up and down to accommodate the various sized items you are looking to store. This lets you optimise your storage space, as the gaps between shelves don't all have to be the same – you can have large storage spaces for heavy, bulky items at the bottom and then smaller spaces between the shelves above.

Buy Extra Components as Needed

If you need some addon units to extend your row of garage shelves or some extra beams or an additional upright that’s not a problem. We sell extra shelf kits and individual component parts as well as our standard 4-shelf units. Think of our shelving like a construction set and build whatever you need – a single unit with two shelves or 5+ shelves in a long row - it’s easy.

Units can be fastened to the Floor

All our garage shelves are generally sturdy on a flat, even surface. However, for increased safety, they come with footplates that have predrilled holes in them. This allows each shelving unit to be fastened to the floor. It’s especially useful if the floor is uneven, or if the shelves are located in high traffic areas or when you are storing heavy items high off the ground.

Warranty

Falcon Shelving offers a three year replacement warranty for manufacturing or material defects in any of its products. However, we don’t usually hear from our customers unless they are looking to buy extra shelves or extra units.

What Sort of Shelving is Ideal for Garages

How do you design the optimal garage storage system for the unique storage needs of your garage space? The best mix of garage shelving depends on the situation there's no one best answer to that question. It's a matter determining the space available and what needs to be stored and then matching those requirements with quality shelving, garage cabinets etc that have the correct load rating.

Set out below are 4 simple steps that will help you choose the best garage storage solutions for your needs.  

4 Simple Steps to Work Out Your Garage Storage Needs

If you have a simple storage problem you can just think through the steps, but if you are looking at a major re-organisation for a cluttered garage, then try and work through each step in turn to get your stuff under control.

1) Declutter

Take a day or a weekend to go through absolutely everything (including those boxes you didn’t unpack when you moved in). Make three piles: 1) Keep, 2) Sell/ Donate and 3) Throw Out. Then get rid of those things you don’t ever use and will never need.

2) Sort Everything You Are Keeping Into Broad Categories

Pull everything you are keeping out of the garage and group similar items together. Place tools with tools and so on. You may end up with tidy categories like: car supplies, tools, hardware, toys, exercise equipment, boxes of old clothes, books, sporting equipment, camping gear, gardening, seasonal decorations, spare and seasonal tyres etc.

Grouping like items together will make them easier to find in the garage and will also give you an idea of the space needed to account for each item category.

Also getting everything out of the garage will give you a chance to give the space a quick clean and tidy up.

3) Plan Out the Best Way to Store Your Collection

Sketch out the floor-plan and walls of the garage and then begin to plan out how you want to store your various categories of items. Calculate how much space your car will take. Allow some more space for access and movement. Then plan your storage in the space remaining. In this way you can create the perfect layout and means of storage for the specific items that you have in your garage.

There are two main principles to follow, when determining the best garage layout: Firstly, use as much of the vertical space in the garage as possible. Think about using: high shelving, shallow tall cabinets, hooks for hanging items on the garage wall, rafters for storing long items, and over-bonnet storage to maximize the utilisation of your valuable floor space.

Secondly, create separate zones for each of the major categories in your collection of items. For example, garden tools in one area, sports equipment in another and tools hung on a pegboard next to a workbench etc. Once you have the major zones in place, you can work out from there.

Here are some tips and storage accessories to think about, when you are creating your garage storage solution:

• If your collection contains large equipment, make this the first zone you confirm
• Locate frequently used items near to the door and locate rarely used items in the hardest to reach spots.
• Consider putting bulky equipment in a corner, so it’s out of the way
• Locate items you use together close to one another.
• Make sure you have easy access via the entryways and that there is enough space for you to work and move around once the car is parked inside
• Pegboards and slatwall organizers are good for hanging items on the wall
• Tools, ladders and bikes can be hung on the wall
• Keep dangerous materials safely stored in a locked cabinet (e.g. chemicals, tools), if children are in the household
• Keep things off the floor – it frees up room and makes it easy to clean and tidy underneath
• Consider a clothes rack for umbrellas, raincoats and wetsuits etc
• Overhead storage is good for long items or those you only need at certain times of the year.
• Storage containers, tubs and baskets are useful for storing loose household items and let you dispose of the packaging
• Rolling or portable storage can be useful to help maximize space utilisation
• Consider repurposing old furniture and trunks for use in the garage.

4) Invest in Additional Storage and Containers

Once you have worked through the above three steps you should have a good idea of the garage storage systems (shelving, workbenches, tyre racking, cabinets, hanging devices and storage containers) you will need for your specific garage. Some basic items like these can transform how your garage looks and functions. Choosing the storage solutions and shelving systems that make sense for your unique requirements is the key. When you are ready, we've got what you need to keep your garage clean and organised.

Pro-Tips

Always begin with a Starter Bay (2 blue uprights). You can then expand by attaching one or more Addon units (one blue upright) to form a connected row of shelving.

All our garage shelving units come with 4 levels or tiers of shelving as standard, but you can have from 2 to 5+ levels of shelving if needed. You can buy kits for extra levels of shelving separately if you need 5 tiers of racking or build your unit from component parts, if you need 2 or 3 levels of shelving.
