Heavy Duty Shelving Units for Warehouses

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Heavy Duty Shelving 800 kg Per Level

Professional use with manual loading

In Ireland, shelving in a workshop, shop or stockroom with employees is work equipment: the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 299/2007) define that as any installation for use at work (Reg. 2) and set the employer’s duties in Part 2, Chapter 2, giving effect to the EU Work Equipment Directive, now codified as Directive 2009/104/EC: installed and located correctly and suitable for the work (Reg. 28); stabilised by clamping or some other means where necessary for safety (Reg. 33), for a tall unit fixed to the wall; kept safe by adequate maintenance throughout its working life (Reg. 31); and erected or dismantled following the manufacturer’s instructions (Reg. 28(o)). Because a bolted unit’s safety depends on how it is installed, Reg. 30 requires an initial inspection after installation and after re-assembly at any new location, plus periodic inspections by a competent person where it is exposed to conditions causing deterioration, with results kept for 5 years. The Health and Safety Authority’s Work at Height / Falling Objects information sheet asks for the maximum safe load prominently marked on all racks, no overloading, and racking checked regularly for damage and not used until repaired or replaced. EN 15635, the European standard on use and maintenance, is a reference, not a legal obligation.

All about Heavy Duty Shelving 800 kg Per Level

Optimising storage in commercial spaces, workshops, and warehouses across Ireland requires robust, reliable structures for manual stock management. Our selection of heavy duty shelving is engineered for heavy, bulky goods, spare parts, and site materials. Selecting the right fit depends on your spatial requirements: the Titan C-Beam model offers a total height of 180 cm by 150 cm width in Grey/Silver, whereas the larger Titan Span measures 250 cm high by 200 cm wide in Blue/Orange. Both options feature a 60 cm depth across 4 levels, providing structured manual storage.

These systems carry up to 800 kg per level, ensuring exceptional weight capacity. When planning dimensions, note that nominal measurements include the width of lateral side frames. Assembly of this heavy duty shelving is swift due to braced frames and C-type beams. Fitted with galvanised steel decks that distribute weight evenly, these structures keep tools and inventory secure.

Installing heavy duty shelving is the ideal choice for commercial premises, backrooms, and industrial workshops across Ireland needing to maximise floor space. This robust storage setup solves inventory clutter by safely organising bulky stock, spare parts, and heavy tools that require manual handling without needing specialized forklift machinery.

Whether in a busy warehouse or a small trade unit, implementing reliable heavy duty shelving ensures construction materials and equipment remain fully accessible and orderly. By distributing high weight loads securely, these steel systems turn chaotic storerooms into efficient, safe environments tailored for daily manual operations.

How can I ensure maximum stability in metal shelving?

To ensure maximum stability for your storage system, it is essential to perform anchoring to the floor. This measure is the most effective way to provide a solid base and prevent any type of swaying, regardless of the load distributed across the levels. While our models feature braced upright frames and C-type beams that ensure great rigidity, physical anchoring to the surface is the determining factor for long-term operational safety, especially in taller configurations. By securing the structure to the pavement, the overall behavior is optimized against potential accidental impacts or imbalances during manual handling of heavy goods.
