Why Mobile Shelving Works So Well

If you’re looking for a versatile, space-saving solution that doesn't compromise on durability, mobile shelving is the answer. Here’s why so many customers choose it:

Flexible Layouts: Adjust the width, depth, and shelf material of your shelving to make the most of your space. The addition of castors makes reconfiguration easy when your storage needs evolve.

Adjustable Shelves: Need to store everything from small parts to larger tools? It’s simple to reposition shelves to accommodate different storage needs.

Built for Durability: While the addition of castors makes mobile shelving more adaptable, it’s still built to handle light to medium loads and withstand everyday use.

Multi-purpose: From office environments to workshops, shelves on wheels fit seamlessly into a variety of settings, helping you keep your space organised and efficient.

We also offer other industrial shelving options such as longspan shelving or heavy duty shelving for larger load requirements and storage needs.

Important Considerations for Mobile Shelving

When adding castor wheels to your shelving system, keep these factors in mind:

Load Capacity: Each castor is load-rated to support 100kg, meaning a four-post shelving bay or workbench will have a total load capacity of 400kg, regardless of the individual shelf’s weight limit.

Height and Stability: For safety reasons, we recommend not adding castors to shelving units taller than 2400mm or to 4-tier workbenches, as this impacts the stability of the unit.

Pre-Fitted Castors: Our mobile shelving units come with castor wheels pre-fitted to the shelving footplate, ensuring a hassle-free and efficient setup right out of the box.

Mobile Shelving FAQs

What is mobile shelving, and how does it enhance storage efficiency?

Mobile shelving is a flexible storage solution that features shelves mounted on castors, allowing you to move the entire shelving unit as needed. This added mobility maximises floor space and allows for easier reconfiguration, making it ideal for environments that require adaptable and space-efficient storage. By moving shelving units around, you can optimise your layout and increase the storage capacity of your space without compromising accessibility.

What are the primary benefits of mobile shelving systems?

Mobile shelving systems offer several key benefits. First, they help optimise space, as their ability to be easily moved means you can rearrange them to suit changing storage needs, or move them out of the way when not in use. The flexibility of these units makes it easy to reconfigure them to accommodate changing storage needs. Lastly, accessibility is improved, as shelves on wheels allow easy access and the ability to rearrange items whenever needed.

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

Choosing the right size and load capacity depends on a few factors. Start by measuring the available floor space to determine how much shelving you can fit. Then, consider the weight of the items you'll be storing. Each shelving bay has a specific weight limit, and the addition of castors reduces the overall weight capacity. Consider the type of items you’ll be storing—light, medium, or heavy—so that your mobile shelving unit meets the necessary load requirements.

Are mobile shelving units suitable for offices, warehouses, or retail stores?

Yes, mobile shelving units are suitable for a wide range of environments. In an office, they can be used for storing documents, files, and office supplies efficiently. For warehouses, mobile shelving offers flexibility and ease of movement for storing inventory, tools, and other items. Retail stores can benefit from shelves on wheels for flexible display options, allowing easy reorganisation for optimised product visibility and customer flow.

What materials are mobile shelving systems typically made from?

Mobile shelving systems are typically made from durable materials such as steel, mesh, and particle board. Steel shelving is ideal for medium-duty loads due to its strength and durability. Mesh shelving is perfect for environments requiring good airflow, and particle board provides a cost-effective solution for general-purpose storage.

What are the best practices for installing mobile shelving?

Installing mobile shelving is straightforward. Our castors are pre-fitted to the shelving footplate, making it easy to assemble the frame and castor together. It’s important to distribute the weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability and prevent tipping. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe usage, and avoid exceeding the recommended height and load limits to keep the system safe and functional.

What is the load capacity of standard mobile shelving units?

The load capacity of standard mobile shelving units varies depending on the material and configuration. Each castor can support up to 100kg, so for a four-post shelving bay, the total load capacity would be 400kg. Keep in mind that the weight capacity of each shelf may vary based on its material and configuration, so always ensure the total weight is within safe limits.

Can I customise mobile shelving to suit specific storage requirements?

Yes, mobile shelving is highly configurable. You can adjust the size, material, and configuration of your shelving to meet your specific needs. Whether you need additional vertical space, specific shelf materials like mesh shelving or steel shelving, or higher weight capacities, we offer tailored solutions to suit your storage requirements.

How does mobile shelving compare to other storage solutions?

Mobile shelving offers flexibility and space efficiency that other storage solutions may not provide. Unlike static shelving, shelves on wheels can be easily moved and reconfigured, allowing you to maximise your available floor space. This makes mobile shelving ideal for dynamic environments where the layout needs to change over time. Compared to traditional shelving, mobile shelving units provide better accessibility and easier reorganisation.

Where can I purchase spare parts for mobile shelving systems?
