Description · Industrial Longspan Shelving 500 kg

This industrial longspan shelving provides 500 kg capacity per level across a 180x150x60 cm steel frame. Designed for demanding Irish workshops and stockrooms, the system features 4 height-adjustable levels fitted with breathable wire mesh decks in anthracite grey. Each tier holds 500 kg evenly distributed for storing heavy motor components, tool crates, or bulk items safely. The open grid design prevents dust build-up while allowing airflow and light through every level. Delivered in two packages, this robust setup delivers a 2000 kg total load capacity for daily commercial operations.

Selecting robust longspan shelving featuring four distinct storage tiers allows commercial premises to organise substantial stock efficiently. Each wire mesh level engineered for this model carries an impressive 500 kg of uniformly distributed weight, providing a sturdy platform for dense items such as boxed components, sealed drums, heavy sacks, and power tools. Rather than reserving upper sections strictly for lightweight goods, you can load every height with confidence. This equal weight distribution per level helps busy workshops and stockrooms maintain immediate hand access to critical inventory without cluttering valuable floor space.

Standing at 180 cm high with a width of 150 cm and depth of 60 cm, these heavy-duty longspan shelving setups deliver a broad 150x60 cm surface area across each individual tier. The generous footprint easily holds multiple large crates side-by-side, tool totes, or bulky containers. Because storage requirements evolve over time, the beam levels adjust seamlessly along the uprights. You can set wider spacing at the bottom for oversized equipment while keeping upper tiers closer together for smaller boxed items, maximizing every centimetre of vertical space up to the top frame.

Manufactured with solid steel construction, this industrial longspan shelving configuration comprises 180 cm uprights, 150 cm C-beam profiles, and steel mesh panels. Delivered conveniently in two separate packages—one housing the structural uprights and beams, the other containing the wire mesh decks—the structure is straightforward to build. The support beams simply slot into the vertical frames at your chosen heights before the mesh panels drop securely into place. If your layout requirements alter later, the whole frame can be reconfigured or dismantled easily without damaging any components or fasteners.

Finished in a professional anthracite grey tone, this longspan shelving solution presents a sleek, industrial aesthetic that effectively masks daily scuffs and workplace wear. The high-grade metal mesh design offers distinct operational advantages over solid particle boards. It allows ambient light and air to flow freely through every tier, prevents fluid or dust accumulation, and grants workers immediate visibility of stored items from ground level. This clear sightline proves exceptionally practical when managing fast-moving stock or items that require continuous ventilation across busy Irish facilities.

For auto repair shops, trade stockrooms, commercial warehouses, or professional garages needing dependable hand-loaded storage, investing in this versatility-focused longspan shelving makes complete sense. If your inventory consists mostly of lightweight archives, a lower-capacity range will suffice, whereas businesses requiring extended beam spans or greater upright height can step up to the largest SP Titan options. However, for everyday industrial duties demanding a 500 kg level capacity alongside breathable steel decking, this 180x150x60 cm model represents an ideal operational balance for demanding working environments.

Frequently asked questions · Industrial Longspan Shelving 500 kg

How much weight does this longspan shelving hold per level?
Each of the four levels holds up to 500 kg with the load spread evenly across the wire mesh deck. The figure applies to every level on its own, so keep the heaviest goods low and avoid concentrating the weight on one spot.
What are the dimensions of this longspan shelving?
The model is 180 cm high, 150 cm wide and 60 cm deep. Each level gives you a 150 x 60 cm wire mesh surface, with room for several large cartons, drums or tool boxes side by side.
Are the levels wire mesh or solid steel?
All four levels are anthracite grey wire mesh decks resting on C-section beams. The mesh lets air and light through, does not collect dust or liquids and lets you see what is stored on every level at a glance.
Can the levels of this longspan shelving be adjusted?
Yes. The beams hook into the uprights at the height you need, so you can leave a tall gap at the bottom for bulky items and set the upper levels closer together for smaller boxes.
How is it delivered and assembled?
It arrives in two packages: one with the 180 cm uprights and the 150 cm beams, and another with the wire mesh decks. You hook the beams into the uprights at the chosen height and lay one deck on each level.
What colour is this longspan shelving?
The frame and the wire mesh decks have an anthracite grey finish. It is a dark, understated tone that hides everyday scuffs in a workshop, a warehouse or a stockroom.
Where is this longspan shelving the right choice?
It suits workshops, stockrooms, small warehouses and professional garages where heavy goods are stored by hand: spare parts, tools, product cartons or closed containers. For lighter items, a lighter range will be enough.
Industrial Longspan Shelving 500 kg · 4 Levels · 180x150x60 cm: Fix the shelving unit to the wall if it is tall, if it is in a walkway, or if there are children nearby: this prevents it from tipping over. The stated load is per shelf, for a uniformly distributed static load and with the structure correctly assembled and leveled.

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.
