Why Do You Need Longspan Shelving?

News

What is Longspan Shelving?

Longspan Shelving is the perfect solution for the storage of small to medium-sized non-palletised products, making it ideal for organising and accessing hand-picked items. It works in the same way as pallet racking and looks very similar with frames and beams, the only significant difference is the chipboard shelving that sits between the beams.

Our AR QuickSpan shelving is extremely versatile and comes in a variety of sizes. We offer frame heights from 2000mm to 5000mm with a wide range of bays and shelf depths. Beams range from 950mm to 2700mm and can accommodate heavy loading capacities.

Our longspan shelving can be customised to meet your business needs by choosing from a selection of shelving options. You can choose from chipboard, mesh, or steel decking individually or a combination to meet your specific business requirements.

This shelving is versatile and comes with a variety of accessories to suit any businesses storage needs: such as dividers, garment hanging rails and much more.

What to Store in Longspan Shelving?

Longspan shelving provides an ideal storage solution for items that pallet racking cannot accommodate. Irregularly shaped, bulky, or fragile items may be challenging to transport using forklifts. Long pipes, batteries, tyres, and office supplies are just a few examples of items that you can store on longspan shelving.

What Are the Advantages of Longspan Shelving?

In addition to the benefits that have already been outlined, our AR QuickSpan shelving provides several advantages, including:

  • Quick and easy to assemble and to replace/add components
  • Versatility, providing immediate access to all unit loads
  • Efficient utilisation of available space
  • Customised designs that cater to your specific storage needs
  • Strong and robust
  • High load capacities
  • Easy adjustment of beam levels, every 50mm
  • Fast delivery lead times (3-5 working days)

We may also take any pallet support bars, timber or wire mesh decking, column guards or rack end barriers as part of the deal.

Whether you are in Wakefield, Southport, Croydon or Hereford, call us now on 0800 612 3210, or use the enquiry form to send us a message and we will get back to you quickly. Almost every week we buy used industrial racking and yours could be our next purchase.

All items are in stock and can usually be ready for dispatch in 3-5 working days.

We are happy to help you plan a layout that will make the most of the space that you have available and suit the stock that you will be storing on it.

heavy duty industrial shelving

Heavy duty industrial shelving for all your hand loaded storage needs

News

Heavy duty industrial shelving is a great way to store boxes or loose items of stock without the need for wide aisles to accommodate forklifts or reach trucks. If you are creating a picking area or you have heavy items that aren’t palletised then we can find a great solution to suit your requirements.

Our longspan shelving is a highly versatile and very strong system that is suitable for almost any storage environment. Longspan is like a scaled down version of pallet racking, with the same upright frames and horizontal beams. However, the beams have a Z profile (unlike the box section of pallet racking beams) so that a chipboard deck sits securely between them, with support bars to add strength and rigidity. If you need a metal shelf, we can supply dropover steel panels, ideal for food storage areas or where regular cleaning is required.

The upright frames are available in depths of 400mm to 1200mm and in heights up to 5 metres. They are always supplied assembled, with footplates attached and including levelling plates and fixing bolts. Beam sizes range from 950mm to 2700mm, with load capacities in excess of 400kg UDL per level for all sizes. All of this means that whatever hand loaded items you need to store, we can find a configuration that will work for your storage area.

If you aren’t sure how to make the most of the space you have available, we will happily suggest a layout for you if you can give us the dimensions of your space and the items to be stored.

We have huge stock of all the components of our heavy duty industrial shelving, which means we can dispatch you order quickly, usually in 3-5 working days. Our transport covers the whole of the UK mainland, so whether you are in Glasgow, York, Hereford or Colchester we can get your order to you quickly and for a great price.
