Long Span Shelving

Long span shelving is a heavy-duty, boltless shelving system built for items too bulky or heavy for standard slotted angle shelving, but that don’t need full pallet racking. Steel beams and adjustable shelf levels handle substantial loads while staying easy to reconfigure as your stock changes. 

Absolute Storage Systems supplies and installs long span shelving across Victoria, sized to your load weights and storage layout.

Overview

What Is Long Span Shelving?

Long span shelving consists of steel upright frames with adjustable horizontal beams, supporting shelf decks in timber, steel or wire mesh. It sits between standard slotted angle shelving and full pallet racking, suited to bulkier cartons, parts and stock that need more support than lightweight shelving but don’t require a forklift-accessed pallet position. 

Why choose us

Long span shelving needs to be configured around the actual weight and shape of what you’re storing, not just the available floor space. Absolute Storage Systems has supplied and installed shelving solutions for Victorian warehouses since 1991.

Why Long Span Shelving Is Essential for Optimising Warehouse Workflow

Bulkier cartons, parts and general stock need a shelving system that can handle real weight without the cost of full pallet racking. Long span shelving fills that gap, giving you sturdy, organised storage that’s simple to adjust over time. 

  • Handles heavier loads – Built for bulkier items that exceed the capacity of lightweight slotted angle shelving. 
  • Modular and adjustable – Shelf heights and configurations can change as your stock profile evolves. 
  • Improve organisation – Defined shelf levels make categorising and locating stock faster. 
  • Make use of vertical space – Multiple shelf levels increase storage capacity within the same floor footprint. 
  • Durable construction – Steel frames and beams are built to handle sustained heavy-duty use. 

If your stock is too heavy or bulky for standard shelving but doesn’t need a full pallet position, long span shelving is likely the right fit. Our team can assess your current setup or design a new system from scratch, contact us to get started.
