The Benefits of Racking Shelving Units for Businesses
Every business relies on storage space and maintaining a clutter-free environment. Choosing the right shelving units can make a significant difference to your operations and ensure health and safety.
Maximise Your Space
Instead of taking up floor space, installing shelving units lets you leverage vertical space, storing more items and avoiding the need to move to a larger building.
Scalable Solutions
The majority of our shelving and racking systems are modular, which means they scale with your needs. Instead of having to purchase a new system, we can add extra shelves and units as needed.
Operational Efficiency
Whether you operate a warehouse or commercial environment, you'll know all too well that time is often at a premium. Installing shelving units that meet your business's needs enhances efficiency, as employees can find the right items at the right time.
Versatility
Our shelving units can accommodate a variety of product types, equipment, and bulky items. We also ensure easy assembly and will install the shelving units for you.
Types of Shelving & Racking Systems
Office & Filing Shelving Systems
Office and filing shelving is a must-have for businesses that manage daily paperwork and keep records. These systems are simple to install and enhance organisation.
Whether you need a compact filing system or multiple filing shelving units to accommodate different records and archive boxes, we have a range of solutions available, including some from stock.
Our specialists can also configure the filing systems to achieve maximum storage, even in ultra-compact spaces. These systems integrate with our popular mobile filing and shelving units for maximum storage density.
Longspan Shelving
Longspan shelving is a versatile storage solution for long, bulky, and large items. They're beneficial for retail, office, and warehouse environments, with a range of depths and widths available.
Our standard longspan shelving units suit general storage needs, while carton flow longspan shelving can ensure operational efficiency in warehouse environments.
Retailers can also use longspan storage solutions for clothing and tyres, while our mobile solutions increase your storage capacity.
We offer a vast selection of shelving units that are fully customisable as your business needs change.
Heavy Duty Shelving
Our strongest shelving solution is designed to handle heavy loads in demanding environments. Because we use heavy-duty racking, we can customise the shelving to your dimensions, including height, width, and depth.
Whether you need to store machinery components, heavy stock pallets, or spare parts, these shelving systems ensure health and safety while providing easy access.
For example, our experts can configure the shelving units with dividers, garment rails, static suspension cradles and bin fronts, maximising your available space. Because the shelf and beam heights are easily adjustable, you can upgrade the system as your needs grow.
Hanging Garment Racking
Hanging garment racking and shelving units are purpose-built for retail storerooms and warehouses. You can use these systems to store clothing safely, while also enhancing organisation. Staff can find clothing items quickly, improving operations such as returns processing and seasonal changeovers.
We regularly create these systems for retail and e-commerce businesses that require efficiency. If you need additional storage capacity, we can combine hanging garment racking with other racking and shelving systems.
Storage Walls
Storage walls are highly flexible, as you can use wall space while preserving floor area. This is particularly beneficial in office environments where floor space is at a premium and clutter can compromise professionalism.
We can help you create any combination, including simple bookcase and file storage solutions to lockers and coat storage. Most importantly, each installation is bespoke to your needs, ensuring the storage walls blend seamlessly with your decor and layout.

FAQs
What are the differences between racking and shelving?
While many people use the terms interchangeably, there are some differences to be aware of. For example, shelving units are usually used for hand-loaded, filed, or boxed items, while racking is for bulkier items.
While offices and light commercial environments are usually fine with shelving, industrial and logistics environments often use a combination of racking and shelving.
Are your shelving solutions compliant?
Absolutely. All of our shelving and racking solutions comply with UK and European safety regulations. We understand the importance of a compliant workspace and design and install shelving solutions that align with your needs.
How much weight can your shelving units hold?
It depends on the type of shelving you choose. For example, office shelving is best for lighter loads, while heavy-duty racking can hold much more weight. Once we understand which items you're storing, we'll recommend the best type of shelving based on your weight requirements.
