Longspan Shelving

What is longspan shelving?

Longspan shelving is a boltless beam-and-frame system for hand-loaded storage. Bays are wider than normal shelving and carry heavier loads per level, so it suits boxes, bins and bulky items in stores and stockrooms.

Order quantities, lead time and delivery

There is no fixed minimum order. Full 20 ft or 40 ft containers give the lowest cost per bay, and mixed loads of racking, shelving and accessories are common. Typical lead time is 3 to 5 weeks production plus 5 to 7 weeks sea freight to a UK port, then delivery to your site; your quote confirms the dates. See lead times and delivery.

Samples and documents

We can send sample sections, such as a beam end and an upright offcut, so you can check profile and finish. Sample cost and courier are quoted by our sales team. Each order ships with our load tables, and test reports are available on request; see quality and standards.
