Date Posted:26 April 2021
Longspan shelving is also referred to as Heavy Duty Shelving, Storage Shelving, Garage Shelving, Warehouse Shelving, Metal Shelving and many other variations.
Longspan or Long-span by definition means spanning a great distance. In the storage industry it means shelving units that can span a great length or have the capacity to be extended to great lengths. They are usually made of steel, timber or mesh, are strong and can hold heavy loads. Longspan shelving is very versatile and for this reason they are used for both domestic and commercial purposes. Long span shelving is adjustable and load-bearing meaning it can handle about any type of merchandise, stock, heavy tools or machinery parts you need to store. Long span shelving uses fewer columns or posts compared to other shelving systems, and gives workers easy access to picking goods.
