Why Longspan Shelving Works So Well
If you need a strong and adaptable storage option without the need for pallet storage, longspan shelving is exactly what you’re after. Here's why so many people swear by it:
- Flexible Layouts: Adjust the height, width, and depth of your shelving to make the most of your space.
- Adjustable Shelves: Need to store everything from tiny parts to large tools? It’s simple to reposition shelves as you need them.
- Built for Durability: Longspan shelving is designed to handle light to medium loads and stand up to everyday use.
- Multi-purpose: From garages to workshops and warehouses to retail spaces, longspan shelving fits perfectly into any environment.
We also offer mesh shelving and galvanised panel shelves for maximising shelf weight capacity or for cool room applications. For general-purpose use, our particle board shelving offers strength for a variety of storage needs.
Popular Longspan Shelving Options
We offer a wide range of longspan shelving to suit all kinds of storage needs. Here are some of our top choices:
Particle Board Shelving
A solid, reliable shelving unit that works for tools, stock, and other heavy items. It’s a simple solution that works in almost any setting.
Mesh Shelving
Perfect for spaces that need good airflow. The mesh design allows air to circulate, which is great for workshops or industrial spaces where ventilation is a must. Mesh shelving also offers increased weight capacity compared to particle board shelves, making it ideal for storing heavier items.
Steel Shelving
If you're looking for a shelving solution that can handle tough environments while prioritising hygiene, steel shelving is an excellent choice. Its smooth, durable surface makes it easy to clean and maintain, making it perfect for spaces where cleanliness is a priority, such as cool rooms, kitchens, or workshops.
Mobile Shelving
If you need the flexibility to move things around, our mobile longspan shelving comes with castors, allowing you to easily move your shelving as needed. It’s ideal for spaces that need regular rearranging.
Flexible Longspan Shelving Layout Options
Longspan shelving provides a flexible storage solution that can adapt as your requirements change. At SSA, we make it easy to configure a shelving system that suits your available space and storage needs.
Our longspan shelving systems are available in easy-to-order starter bay and add-on bay configurations across a range of heights, widths, and depths. Starter bays provide the foundation of your shelving run, while add-on bays allow you to expand your storage system without replacing your existing setup.
This flexibility means your shelving can grow as your business grows. Whether you're fitting out a warehouse, organising a workshop, or adding storage to your garage, longspan shelving can be expanded or reconfigured as required.
You can also select the shelf material best suited to your application. Particle board shelves provide a reliable solution for general-purpose storage, mesh shelves offer improved airflow and increased load capacity, while steel shelves are ideal for environments where hygiene and easy cleaning are important.
Businesses storing heavier items may also benefit from our heavy duty shelving range. For retail environments, gondola shelving can provide an effective solution for displaying products while keeping stock organised. If you're looking for a lighter-duty option, rivet shelving offers a practical and cost-effective storage system.
Who Uses Longspan Shelving?
Longspan shelving is used across a wide range of industries due to its strength, flexibility, and ease of access.
Warehouses
Longspan shelving is commonly used in warehouses for storing hand-loaded cartons, tools, parts, and inventory. Adjustable shelf levels make it easy to adapt the system as storage requirements change.
Workshops and Garages
From professional workshops to home garages, longspan shelving provides dependable storage for tools, equipment, consumables, and general supplies. Combined with cabinets & lockers, it helps create a more organised and efficient workspace.
Retail Storerooms
Retail businesses often use longspan shelving to keep back-of-house stock organised and easy to access. The open shelving design allows staff to quickly locate products and replenish shelves efficiently.
Cool Rooms
Mesh and steel shelf options make longspan shelving suitable for cool room environments where airflow, durability, and easy cleaning are important considerations.
Archive and Office Storage
Longspan shelving offers a practical solution for storing archive boxes, records, office supplies, and general business documents. Adjustable shelf heights allow different box sizes to be accommodated with ease.
For businesses storing smaller parts and components, bucket shelving can also be incorporated to improve organisation and accessibility.
How to Install Your Longspan Shelving
Setting up your longspan shelving is straightforward, but here are some helpful tips to make sure it stays stable:
- Start on a Level Surface: Make sure the floor is smooth and level to avoid any instability.
- Follow the Instructions: Stick to the manufacturer’s assembly guidelines and weight limits to guarantee safe and secure shelving.
- Anchor It: If you’re dealing with heavier loads, secure the shelving to the floor for added stability.
- Distribute Weight Wisely: Place heavier items on the lower shelves to maintain balance and evenly distribute weight across the length of the shelves.
- Regular Inspections: Check the shelving periodically, tightening any bolts or connectors that may have loosened over time.
