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)

warehouse storage solutions

Warehouse storage solutions are more than just pallet racking

News

When you think about warehouse storage solutions, pallet racking might be the first thing that springs to mind. Warehouse racking, particularly used pallet racking, is our speciality and the biggest part of our business, but there are many other ways to store your stock that we can help you with.

For non-palletised items, we can supply longspan shelving, a heavy duty system that works in much the same way as pallet racking, with upright frames and horizontal beams. Longspan beams have a z profile (rather than the box section of racking beams), so that a chipboard deck will sit securely between them, and with support bars under the chipboard they can take well in excess of 500kg per shelf for almost all beam sizes. This robust and versatile system is available in a wide range of sizes, so we can help you find the best layout to make full use of the space you have for storage of your stock.

Cantilever racking provides an effective way to store long materials such as pipes, rods, structural sections, profiles, timber and flat sheets such as  chipboard. We offer off the shelf solutions for single or double-sided cantilever storage for long but lightweight items. It is easy to assemble, simple, stable and safe. For heavy loads, we can provide high strength bespoke solutions including systems suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

You may also be looking for storage options for your employees to keep their personal items safe. We have a huge range of lockers that we can supply in many different sizes, colours and for a different working environments.

Whatever you warehouse storage requirements are, we can help you to find the best solution for your business. Call us now on 0800 612 3210 to discuss you options or to place an order. Alternatively, you can send us an enquiry form and we will reply to you quickly. All our warehouse storage solutions are available for delivery to any UK mainland address, so whether you are in Leeds, Worcester, Liverpool or Brighton we can supply you with what you need.

Heavy duty warehouse shelving

News

Heavy duty warehouse shelving, or longspan shelving as it is often known, is a scaled down version of pallet racking used for storing non-palletised goods. It has the upright frames and horizontal beams of pallet racking, but the beams are a z-profile to support a chipboard shelf.

We have large quantities of our QuickSpan shelving system in stock, available for fast dispatch in a wide range of sizes.

The upright frames are 2000mm to 5000mm and can be braced at depths from 400mm to 1200mm. All frames are supplied assembled, with footplates attached and including fixing bolts and shims.

Beams come in sizes from 950mm to 2700mm and are supplied with beam locks. We have chipboard decks and support bars to suit all sizes of shelving. Dropover steel shelves are also available for this shelving system.

The beam height can be adjusted every 50mm on the frames and the load capacity is up to 1075kg UDL per shelf. This makes for a very versatile and fully adjustable hand loaded shelving system suitable for all warehouse and industrial environments. We can help you plan a layout that makes the best use of the space that you have available and can quickly provide you with a quote and lead time.

We have longspan shelving orders scheduled for delivery to Bradford, Wrexham, Durham and Bournemouth, so wherever you are in the UK, we are ready to supply you with the storage system that you need.
