Warehouse Shelving
Flexible Warehouse Shelving Systems for Every Operation
Optimising space in the warehouse, often requires a combination of storage solutions that maximise the footprint of the facility. Warehouse shelving provides a practical and flexible way to organise stock, improve picking efficiency, and make the best use of the space. From small items to through bulkier loads and high-volume operations, there is a shelving option to suit your warehouse operations.
Shelving is a highly flexible solution that supports manual picking, improves stock visibility while keeping storage areas organised and accessible.

Do I need racking or shelving?
While pallet racking typically fills the main floor of a warehouse, the ultimate decision on which storage system is best suited to your facility depends on a number of factors.
You will need to look at available space, the type of stock you are holding, maximum weight the storage system must hold and how the items are picked.
- Racking is best for heavy, palletised goods or boxed goods. You have the option to pick the stock by hand, automation or forklift trucks.
- Industrial shelving is for smaller and lighter items which are picked by hand.
Benefits of industrial shelving
One of the key advantages of industrial shelving is in the compatibility of the system. The structure is available with either open or closed shelving which offers greater adaptability for the type of stock you are holding. Both the height and number of shelves can be adjusted to match your requirements.
The systems are modular in design which makes them easy to adapt and expand when needed without replacing the whole system. This makes them a long-lasting and cost-effective investment for growing operations.
Choosing the right shelving system
Not all warehouse shelving systems are the same. Different operations place different demands on their storage, which is why shelving options are often tailored to:
Volume of goods
Stock weight and size
How often the items are accessed or moved
Available floor and vertical space
Future growth or layout changes
Whether you’re working with small or large items, or you wish to maximise vertical capacity, there is a shelving system that will suit your operation.
Short span shelving
Short span shelving is ideal for smaller items, boxed goods and components that need to be stored in an organised, space-efficient way.
With multiple adjustable shelf levels, it supports high-density storage and is commonly used in workshops, stores, picking areas and back-of-house environments where accuracy and consistency are key.

Long span shelving
Long span shelving is ideal for medium to heavy items that are too bulky for light-duty shelving but don’t require pallet racking.
With wider shelf spans and adjustable levels, it offers a balance between strength and accessibility. Long span shelving is often used in general warehousing and storage areas where flexibility and easy access to stock are essential.

Multi-tier shelving
Multi-tier shelving systems are designed to maximise vertical space by creating multiple walkable levels of shelving within the same footprint.
Commonly used in larger warehouses and fulfilment environments, these systems allow businesses to significantly increase storage capacity while supporting efficient picking across all levels. Multi-tier shelving is ideal where space optimisation and high-volume operations are critical.

Tailored to your operation
Every warehouse is different, which is why shelving systems are configured to suit the way your business operates. Factors such as stock size, picking frequency, floor space and future growth all play a part in selecting the best solution.
Working with an experienced supplier ensures your shelving system is designed to support your workflow, rather than hinder it.
