Professional Grey Finish

The professional grey powder coating provides a neutral, versatile appearance that suits any warehouse environment. Unlike bright colors, the grey finish creates a clean, professional look that works seamlessly with existing infrastructure and branding. The rust-resistant coating ensures your shelving maintains its appearance even in demanding industrial environments with high traffic and heavy use.

Grey shelving is the preferred choice for businesses that want a professional, understated appearance without sacrificing durability or performance. It's ideal for customer-facing stockrooms, showrooms with visible storage, or any environment where a clean, neutral aesthetic is important.

Unmatched 500kg Load Capacity

When standard shelving isn't strong enough, this heavy-duty industrial system delivers. With a massive 500kg capacity per level (UDL - Uniformly Distributed Load), 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.

Professional-Grade Construction

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this shelving system features premium construction throughout. The robust steel frame is finished with a rust-resistant grey powder coating that withstands the rigors of busy warehouses, factories, and industrial facilities. The professional grey finish maintains its appearance even in high-traffic, heavy-use environments.

The 15mm thick flush-fitting chipboard shelves are significantly more robust than standard shelving boards, providing a solid, stable surface for heavy items. The extra thickness prevents flexing and sagging, ensuring your shelves remain level and secure even when loaded to capacity - critical for maintaining safety and organization in busy warehouses.

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.

Extra-Wide Options for Maximum Capacity

Available in five width options - 900mm, 1200mm, 1400mm, 1800mm, and 2000mm - this shelving system adapts to your specific space and storage requirements. Choose narrower widths for compact areas or maximize storage capacity with extra-wide 1800mm or 2000mm units that include additional support beams for enhanced strength.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the height of the shelving unit?
The shelving unit stands 1600mm high, providing excellent vertical storage capacity while remaining accessible for manual loading and retrieval.

How much weight can each shelf hold?
Each shelf can safely support up to 500kg when the load is evenly distributed (UDL - Uniformly Distributed Load) across the entire shelf surface. This capacity applies to hand-loaded storage applications.

Is assembly required?
Yes, the shelving features a quick and easy boltless 'stud and keyhole' assembly system that allows tool-free setup in minutes without specialist tools or experience.

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.

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.

What does UDL mean?
UDL stands for Uniformly Distributed Load, meaning the 500kg capacity applies when weight is evenly spread across the entire shelf surface, not concentrated in one area.

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

Why choose grey over colored shelving?
Grey provides a neutral, professional appearance that suits any warehouse environment and works seamlessly with existing infrastructure. It's ideal for businesses wanting a clean, understated look without sacrificing performance.

How long does assembly take?
Most customers complete assembly in under an hour using the boltless 'stud and keyhole' system, even without previous experience.
