Professional Blue & Orange Finish

The distinctive blue and orange color scheme isn't just about aesthetics - it's a professional warehouse standard that improves safety and organization. The high-visibility orange uprights and blue shelving create clear visual definition, making it easier to identify storage zones, improve warehouse navigation, and maintain an organized, professional appearance.

The rust-resistant powder coating in both colors provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring your shelving maintains its professional appearance even in demanding industrial environments with high traffic and heavy use. The vibrant colors also help create a more organized, efficient workspace that reflects well on your business.

Unmatched 500kg Load Capacity

When standard shelving isn't strong enough, this heavy-duty industrial system delivers. With a massive 500kg capacity per level, this shelving handles the heaviest storage challenges with ease. Whether you're storing dense materials, heavy machinery parts, bulk inventory, or industrial equipment, this system provides the strength and reliability your operations demand.

The exceptional load capacity is achieved through intelligent engineering - multiple reinforced support beams per level (scaled to shelf width), premium 15mm thick chipboard shelving, and robust steel frame construction. This isn't lightweight garage shelving - it's professional-grade warehouse racking built for serious industrial applications.

Intelligent Support Beam Configuration

Unlike one-size-fits-all shelving, this system provides width-specific support beam configurations to ensure optimal strength across all sizes:

• 900mm, 1200mm & 1400mm widths: 1 support beam per level - perfect for compact spaces and standard loads
• 1800mm width: 2 support beams per level - enhanced support for wider shelving spans
• 2000mm width: 3 support beams per level - maximum reinforcement for extra-wide, heavy-duty storage

This intelligent beam configuration ensures every shelf maintains its 500kg capacity regardless of width, preventing sagging and ensuring long-term structural integrity even under continuous heavy loading.

Quick Assembly, Maximum Strength

Despite its exceptional strength, this shelving system features a boltless 'stud and keyhole' assembly system that allows quick, tool-free installation. The smart assembly design means you can have your shelving operational in minutes, getting your warehouse organized and productive fast - without sacrificing the heavy-duty performance you need.

The no-cross-bracing design is a key advantage for warehouse operations. Unlike traditional racking that requires diagonal bracing, this system provides open access from both sides of the unit, making it easier to load and retrieve items, improving workflow efficiency, and maximizing accessibility in busy environments.

Fully Adjustable for Maximum Flexibility

With 4 fully adjustable shelf levels configurable every 35mm, you have complete control over your storage configuration. Accommodate tall equipment, stack multiple layers of smaller items, or create custom configurations for mixed inventory - the flexibility ensures this shelving adapts to your needs, not the other way around.

Suitable for hand-loaded storage applications, this system is perfect for accessible warehouse storage where staff need to manually load and retrieve items. The adjustable shelving allows you to optimize each level for different product types, maximizing storage density while maintaining easy access.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of each shelf?
Each shelf can safely support up to 500kg when the load is evenly distributed across the entire shelf surface. This capacity applies to hand-loaded storage applications.

How adjustable are the shelves?
The shelves are fully adjustable every 35mm across the 1600mm height, allowing you to create custom configurations for different sized items and optimize your storage space.

Why choose blue and orange over grey shelving?
The blue and orange color scheme is a professional warehouse standard that improves visibility, safety, and organization. The high-contrast colors make it easier to identify storage zones and create a more organized, efficient workspace.

What width should I choose for my warehouse?
Choose based on your space and storage needs: 900-1400mm for compact areas and standard loads; 1800mm for wider storage requirements with 2 support beams; or 2000mm for maximum width with 3 support beams for extra reinforcement.

How many support beams are included?
Support beams are scaled to shelf width: 900-1400mm units include 1 beam per level, 1800mm units include 2 beams per level, and 2000mm units include 3 beams per level - ensuring optimal support across all sizes.

Is assembly difficult?
No - the boltless 'stud and keyhole' assembly system allows quick, tool-free setup. Most customers complete assembly in under an hour without any specialist tools or experience.

Can I adjust shelf heights after assembly?
Yes - all 4 shelf levels are fully adjustable every 35mm, allowing you to reconfigure the unit at any time to accommodate changing storage needs.

What does 'hand-loaded storage only' mean?
This means the shelving is designed for manual loading and unloading by staff, not for forklift or pallet loading. It's perfect for accessible warehouse storage where items are picked and placed by hand.

Why is there no cross bracing?
The no-cross-bracing design provides open access from both sides of the unit, improving workflow efficiency and making it easier to load and retrieve items in busy warehouse environments.

How does 15mm chipboard compare to other shelf materials?
15mm chipboard is significantly thicker and more robust than standard shelving boards. It provides a solid, stable surface that resists flexing and sagging even under heavy 500kg loads.

Can this be used for pallet storage?
This shelving is designed for hand-loaded storage. For pallet storage or forklift loading, consider dedicated pallet racking systems designed for mechanical handling.

Is the powder coating durable?
Yes - the rust-resistant powder coating in both blue and orange provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains its professional appearance even in demanding industrial environments with high traffic and heavy use.

Can I mix this with grey shelving?
While technically possible, we recommend maintaining consistent color schemes within visible warehouse areas for a professional, organized appearance. The blue and orange system is designed as a complete visual solution.

How tall is 1600mm in practical terms?
1600mm is approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall - a comfortable height for most warehouse operations that allows easy access to all shelves without requiring ladders for the top level.
