Why Wall Ties Are Essential for Tall Shelving

For any shelving unit over 2 metres in height, wall ties are a critical safety component. They prevent the unit from tipping forward when loaded unevenly or when items are removed from upper shelves. This is particularly important in:

• Warehouses: Where heavy stock is stored at height and accessed regularly
• Workshops: Where tools and equipment create uneven weight distribution
• Garages: Where seasonal items may be stored and retrieved infrequently
• Stockrooms: Where compliance with health and safety regulations is mandatory
• Industrial Units: Where employee safety is paramount

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum height these wall ties can support?

These wall ties are specifically recommended for shelving units over 2 metres in height. They're designed to work with heavy duty shelving systems and provide the necessary stability for tall racking installations.

Which extension size should I choose - 45mm or 95mm?

The choice depends on your wall construction and shelving configuration. The 45mm option suits most standard installations, whilst the 95mm extension is ideal when you need additional clearance from the wall, such as when dealing with skirting boards or uneven wall surfaces.

Can I use these wall ties with any shelving system?

These wall ties are specifically designed for heavy duty shelving systems. Whilst they're compatible with most professional racking, we recommend checking your shelving manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility.

How many wall ties do I need per shelving unit?

The number required depends on your shelving unit's height, width, and load capacity. As a general guide, taller and wider units require more wall ties. Consult your shelving installation guide or contact us for specific recommendations.

Are fixings included with the wall ties?

Wall fixings are not included as the correct fixings depend on your specific wall construction (brick, concrete, block work, etc.). We recommend using appropriate heavy-duty fixings rated for your wall type and the expected load.

Do I legally need wall ties for my shelving?

Whilst requirements vary by application, health and safety regulations typically require tall shelving in commercial and industrial settings to be properly secured. Wall ties are considered best practice for any shelving over 2 metres high, regardless of setting.

Will these work in outdoor or damp environments?

Yes! The galvanised steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these wall ties suitable for garages, outdoor storage areas, and other environments where moisture may be present.
