Long-term Storage When You Don't Need Pallet Racking

Longspan shelving, as the name suggests, is industrial shelving that spans a long distance (up to 2.5 metres).

While it shares a basic structure with pallet racking, it differs in 2 key ways:

1. Pallet racking handles rugged, heavy-duty storage for palletized goods, while longspan shelving supports lighter, non-palletized items.
2. Pallet racking withstands mechanical handling (e.g., forklifts), while longspan shelving relies on loading by hand.

Store Small to Medium Weight Items that are Hand Loaded

The open nature of heavy duty, longspan shelving and its adjustability makes it one of the most efficient storage systems. For example it's great for storing:

• Cartons
• Plastic tubs
• Component parts for manufacturing
• Automotive and other spare parts
• Tools and toolboxes
• Electrical and plumbing equipment
• Sporting equipment
• Hardware
• Bulky items, inventory items and archive storage

In particular, it's good for items that are: small to medium in size and weight, bulky, fragile or irregular in shape (long and broad). Also it's easy to access the stored items from both sides.

Full Range of Sizes for Any Situation

Our longspan shelving storage system comes in a full range of weight capacities, colours and sizes (bay width and height), as shown in the table below.

Modular Design

The heavy duty, longspan shelving units are modular. So you can buy one unit on its own for a garage or buy a series of units to scale up the storage capacity of a warehouse.

All the units within a particular weight capacity are connectable. So you can join a series of shelving units into a continuous row of shelving. Similarly, you can connect the heavy duty workbenches in our 1200Kg range to a normal, long span shelving unit in various configurations. 

Strong and Durable

The metal shelving units are built from welded steel and powder coated for durability. In contrast to other commonly supplied shelves that are made from MDF or particle board, the decks are powder coated steel. In addition, they are reinforced underneath for extra strength. 

The upright frames are not bolted. Rather they are welded as one solid piece for maximum load bearing. So they won't buckle. 

Easy Installation

Our “boltless” shelving is designed to be DIY assembled without tools, screws, nuts or bolts. Simply slide the orange beams into the grooves on the outside of the blue uprights and slot the white decks onto the inside ledge of the beams.

Being easy to assemble means our heavy duty shelving units are also easy to disassemble and reconfigure as required. So you can add to and adjust your shelving as your needs change. Also, it's easy to dismantle, transport and reconfigure, if you need to move.

Adjustable Shelves

Shelving height is adjustable. You can have a large gap for bulky, heavier items at the bottom of your heavy duty metal shelving units and then a smaller space between the shelves above.

Buy Extra Components as Needed

Our heavy duty, long span shelving is modular. So you can buy extra shelves or whatever you need as you go.

Units Can be Fastened to the Floor

Our shelving products are sturdy, when free standing. However they can also be fastened to the floor via the pre-drilled holes in the footplates for extra stability, safety and security.

Warranty

There is a three year replacement warranty for manufacturing or material defects (excluding fair wear and tear). However, we don't usually hear back from our clients, unless they are looking to buy more units or components.

Shop Our Range

All of our long span shelving units come with 4 levels or tiers of shelving as standard. However, you can have 2,3 or 5+ shelves.

Always begin with a Starter Bay (2 blue uprights). Then join one or more Addon Bays (one blue upright) to form a connected row of shelving.
