Why Choose This 5 Tier 3050mm Blue & Orange Shelving?

When floor space is at a premium but ceiling height is available, this heavy-duty 3050mm shelving system with 5 shelves 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.

The distinctive blue and orange colour scheme isn't just visually striking – it enhances warehouse organisation by creating clear visual zones, improving operational efficiency, and supporting 5S and lean manufacturing initiatives. The professional appearance also presents well in customer-facing areas and during facility audits, whilst the high-visibility colours improve workplace safety.

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 complete with 5 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 across all five levels.

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).
