Use heavy duty shelving units to safely store items in busy workspaces

Whether it’s hundreds of lightweight goods or one extremely heavy item, our heavy duty storage racks and shelving units offer a simple, safe solution. In the workplace, storage space can be sparse, resulting in items being left in unsuitable, dangerous areas. Heavy duty shelving racks solve this problem and are, therefore, an indispensable component in modern warehouse logistics.

What are heavy duty shelving units and where should they be used?

Our heavy duty storage racks are characterised by stable production from steel and particularly high shelf loads. The individual shelves are capable of carrying a weight of well over 1,000 kg. The heavy duty shelving units in our standard range are designed for shelf loads of up to 1,500 kg.

Use heavy duty storage racks to store heavy individual goods or large quantities of goods safely and easily, at the same time as keeping them to hand in the warehouse. They are especially handy for storing pallets and other large containers.

Who should be responsible for the set up heavy duty shelving units?

Many of the heavy duty storage racks within our range can be easily adapted to your storage equipment requirements. The simple plug-in system ensures fast assembly and conversion, which your employees can carry out themselves. Basic and add-on elements are available, too, making it easy for you to expand or reorganise your company’s storage area as required.

When are heavy duty storage racks required?

You should always use heavy duty shelving units in buffer storerooms or workshop warehouses and wherever high load capacities are required for your stored goods. Heavy duty storage racks should also be considered when storing lighter items, as things can escalate quickly; remember, the more items you add to storage, the heavier the load becomes.

In the workplace, particularly warehouses, heavy duty shelving meets the requirements of stability and safety. There really is no other option.

How often should heavy duty shelving units be inspected?

The HSE stipulates an annual shelving unit inspection in accordance with SEMA. This inspection of various structural and safety-relevant aspects may be carried out by a qualified employee of your company.
