Why Choose Heavy Duty 3050mm Shelving?

When floor space is at a premium but ceiling height is available, this heavy-duty 3050mm shelving system delivers exceptional storage density. By utilising the full vertical space in your facility, you can dramatically increase storage capacity without expanding your footprint – a cost-effective alternative to relocating or building extensions.

Built on the proven boltless stud and keyhole design refined over 25 years in UK commercial settings, these units deliver maximum strength with minimal assembly time. The system has been rigorously tested to ensure it maintains structural integrity under sustained heavy loads even at maximum height.

Each unit ships with premium 15mm chipboard shelves as standard – significantly thicker than economy alternatives found in lightweight domestic shelving. This superior thickness provides better load distribution, reduced deflection under heavy loads, and enhanced long-term durability even when storing dense, heavy items.

The adjustable shelf design allows you to reconfigure storage heights as your inventory changes, whilst the dual-side access and open back design maximises picking efficiency and workflow. Expand your system seamlessly with our comprehensive range of accessories including bay connectors, additional shelves, and joining tie plates to create continuous runs of heavy-duty storage.

Safety Considerations

For optimal safety with 3050mm high units, ensure your facility has adequate ceiling clearance (minimum 3.5m recommended).

Always distribute loads evenly and place heavier items on lower shelves for enhanced stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ceiling height do I need for 3050mm shelving?

We recommend a minimum ceiling height of 3.5 metres to allow adequate clearance above the unit for safe operation and access. This ensures sufficient working space when loading and retrieving items from upper shelves.

What is the maximum load per shelf?

Each 15mm chipboard shelf is tested and certified to support 340kg UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) when 915mm wide. The complete unit supports up to 2,040kg total capacity, making it suitable for demanding commercial and industrial storage applications.

How many shelves come standard with each unit?

Each unit comes with your choice of 4, 5, or 6 chipboard shelves as standard. You can select the configuration that best suits your storage requirements at the time of purchase, and additional shelves can be purchased separately if needed later.

How do I safely access the upper shelves?

For shelves above comfortable reaching height, we recommend using appropriate warehouse access equipment such as mobile steps, warehouse ladders, or picking platforms. Always follow your facility's health and safety protocols for working at height.

Is assembly difficult for such a tall unit?

No, the shelving units feature a boltless design for quick and easy assembly. The proven stud and keyhole system requires no specialist tools – we include a free rubber assembly mallet with every order. Most 3050mm units can be fully assembled in 30-45 minutes following the comprehensive instructions provided.

Can I adjust shelf heights after initial assembly?
