KEY FEATURES

High load capacity – Depending on the design, individual shelf levels can support anywhere from a few hundred kilograms to over 1,000 kg per shelf when loads are evenly distributed.

Long shelf spans – Wide beam lengths (typically 1–3 metres) create large storage bays with fewer uprights, making it ideal for bulky items.

Adjustable shelf heights – Shelves can be repositioned to accommodate changing storage requirements.

Modular design – Additional bays can usually be added as storage needs grow.

Boltless assembly – Many systems use clip-in beams for quick installation and adjustment.
