Longspan Shelving and Workbenches

Longspan, steel shelving and workbenches are great for storing bulky material and small to medium-sized items that are put away and accessed by hand.

This type of shelving is much less expensive than pallet racking. It represents a cost-effective way to create durable, heavy duty storage capacity, when you need to store light to medium heavy weighted items.

Quick Start Buying Guide

To begin with it's important to note the following points:

• Always begin with a Starter Bay (2 blue uprights). You can then attach an add on bay (one upright only) or multiple addon bays to form a connected row of shelving
• You can narrow your search by using the filters on the lefthand side of the webpage
• If you need an extra shelf level you can find it here

Load Capacity

The weight rating (e.g. 300Kg/L) refers to the load capacity of a shelf in terms of its ability to carry a uniformly distributed load (UDL). Importantly, all units with a similar weight rating are inter-connectable.

In our range, we have units with weight ratings of 300Kg, 200Kg, 150Kg and 120Kg per level.

Specifications

Robust Design

All our long span shelving systems are built from industrial quality steel and powder coated for durability. The deck panels are made from reinforced steel rather than being mesh decks, timber or particle board for heavy duty applications.

Our metal shelving comes in two, standard colours: tri-colour (orange, blue and white) or off-white.

The longspan shelving bays are supplied with 4 tiers or shelves as standard, but you can have as many levels as you like. Buy an extra shelf level,  if you need to expand to 5 tiers. Alternatively, you can build your unit from components if you need to configure 2 or 3 levels of shelving.

Easy Installation and Adjustment

All the shelves are adjustable, so you can easily elevate them to whatever height you need.

The metal shelving units are designed for easy installation without tools, screws, bolts or accessories like a mounting bracket. The orange beams slide into grooves on the outside of the blue uprights and the white decks simply slot onto a slim ledge on the inside of the beams.

Our metal shelving units are easy to adjust to any configuration you require. So you can maximise the capacity of your floor space or reconfigure as your storage needs change.

The uprights have pre-drilled base plates that enable the unit to be fastened to the floor for added security and stability. Also they can be fastened to the wall for a robust shelving solution.

As well as being easy to assemble, the units are also easy to disassemble, flat pack for transport and install again, if you or your business need to move.

Modular Shelving System

The 0.6m deep, 300Kg/ level, longspan shelving system is a completely modular storage system of longspan shelving and workbenches that offers easy assembly, easy adjustment and endless versatility:

• The units are all inter-connectable
• The components are interchangeable
• The range is compatible with our range of heavy duty workbenches and tyre racking - they can all be connected together.

Buy Components

If you have specific storage requirements or a defined plan for your storage space, then you can buy individual components and extra levels to create the exact set of units and functionality you need in order to accommodate your ideas.
