museum artefacts, even geological samples – these and hundreds of other items are safely stored away in shelving schemes constructed from Longspan.
Use Longspan as a space saver, maximising height in narrow-aisle storage installations; use it in conjunction with mobile shelving schemes for high density storage where space is at a premium; use
it in shops and offices, schools and hospitals; use it anywhere and everywhere there’s a need for efficient, hard-wearing storage.

Pallet Racking
Pallet Racking
Pallet racking is not strictly a shelving system as the picture above shows. Pallet racking by definition requires a pallet to work and either a stacker or fork lift truck to load and unload.
Racking systems use the parallel bars to support the pallets and can have drop over panels in either wood or steel allowing them to be used as shelving. A standard upright as shown above will support over 12,000 kg and there are heavy duty versions that increase this by a large margin.
Pallet racking is the ultimate storage system as it can be designed for narrow aisle fork lifts offering a more dense storage system, Drive in racking with First in last out also dynamic and with some customers a mezzanine platform can be added to the top of the racking.
