Longspan Shelving Australia-Wide

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.

If you're after something more tailored to your setup, we also offer mesh shelving for maximising shelf weight capacity or for cool room applications, as well as galvanised panel shelves ideal for cool rooms. For general-purpose use, you can choose between particle board or steel shelving, both offering added 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:

Longspan 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.

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.

How do I choose the right size and load capacity for longspan shelving?

Start by measuring your space and considering what you’ll be storing. Longspan shelving comes in different bay lengths, depths, and shelf materials, which can impact the load capacity. Depending on what you need to store, the capacity per shelf can vary from 250kg to 500kg. Our team at SSA is happy to guide you through selecting the right shelving system for your specific needs.

Is longspan shelving suitable for commercial and industrial settings?

Yes, longspan shelving is perfect for both commercial and industrial environments. It’s widely used for bulk stock organisation in warehouses and can be adapted for retail settings as well. If you need something more specialised for larger-scale operations, you might want to consider our pallet racking/industrial storage options.

What materials are used in longspan shelving construction?

Longspan shelving features a durable steel frame, with shelves made from materials like particle board, mesh decks, or galvanised steel panels. These materials are designed to support light to medium loads and offer long-lasting reliability for various environments.

What steps should I follow to install longspan shelving safely?

To install longspan shelving safely, start by assembling it on a flat and level surface to avoid instability. Follow the manufacturer’s assembly guidelines and stick to the recommended weight limits. If you're dealing with heavier loads, it’s best to secure the shelving to the floor for added safety. Always place heavier items on the lower shelves to keep the system balanced, and periodically check bolts and connectors to ensure everything stays secure.

What is the weight capacity of standard longspan shelving units?

There isn’t a standard load capacity for longspan shelving, as it varies depending on factors like the bay length, depth, and shelf material. Load capacity per shelf typically ranges from 250kg to 500kg, and this will affect the overall load capacity of the bay. Always check product specifications to ensure the shelving is suitable for your storage needs.

What configurable options are available to suit different storage needs?

Longspan shelving is highly configurable. You can adjust the shelf levels, dimensions, and select from various shelf materials. For additional organisation, you can add accessories like storage bins, hooks, or drawers. As your storage needs evolve, you can expand your shelving system with starter bays and add-on bays to accommodate more items.

How does longspan shelving compare to other storage solutions?

Longspan shelving strikes a great balance between strength and flexibility. It offers more durability than lighter shelving options but is less bulky than full pallet racking systems. It’s perfect for light to medium-duty storage and is easier to configure and adjust compared to many other shelving systems designed for hand loading.
