Applicable regulations in Ireland

Domestic use (garage, storage room)

In Ireland, a shelving unit fitted in the garage, attic or utility room of a private home is not governed by workplace safety law: the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Application Regulations 2007 bind employers, not householders. What does apply is general product safety. Regulation (EU) 2023/988 (GPSR), applicable since 13 December 2024, requires that only safe products be placed on the market (art. 5) and that a distance-selling offer clearly shows the manufacturer's name, postal and electronic address and any safety warnings (art. 19); in Ireland it is enforced by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission under S.I. No. 726/2024, which also requires that this information, and the safety information supplied with the product, be in English (Reg. 5).. The Consumer Rights Act 2022 adds that goods must come with the installation instructions a consumer may reasonably expect (s. 18) and that an incorrect installation due to shortcomings in those instructions is a lack of conformity (s. 19). Our advice: anchor the unit to the wall against tipping and never exceed the stated maximum load per shelf.

If you are evaluating options to optimize your storage space without the need for high-capacity structures, our light-duty shelving is the ideal solution. They are designed to support moderate weights, making them perfect for organizing your garage, storage room, or workshop. You will be able to neatly store toolboxes, cleaning supplies, sports equipment, or any everyday items.

Assembly is intuitive and agile, allowing for quick installation without specialized tools, adapting to the dimensions of your space. Various models are available, from modular metal structures with adjustable shelves to simpler configurations. Their versatility and ability to adapt to different organizational needs make them a practical and economical alternative to other storage solutions.

Implementing these shelves drastically improves organization, makes it easier to locate what you need, and frees up floor space. Their durability and resistance, especially in the metal models, guarantee a long service life. If your storage requirements increase, we recommend exploring our medium-duty metal shelving, which offers greater capacity.

For outdoor installations, we recommend opting for our galvanized shelving. This material features a special treatment that offers excellent resistance against corrosion and rust, making it the most durable option for these types of environments.

How many shelves are included in the Urban range metal shelving units?

The Urban range metal shelving units are delivered from the factory equipped with five levels or shelves. This standard configuration has been designed to maximize vertical storage capacity, offering a highly effective solution for organizing a wide variety of items, from tools and equipment to boxes and miscellaneous materials, proving especially useful in spaces like workshops, garages, or storage rooms. If your organization needs require a different number of shelves or you wish to add extra levels for even greater space utilization, it is advisable to carefully review the technical specifications of each specific model available on the website. There, compatibility with complementary accessories is detailed, and the maximum recommended load capacities per shelf are specified, ensuring safe and efficient use.

What type of light shelving is most suitable for outdoor use?

For areas exposed to the weather, we recommend selecting our models with a galvanized finish. This specific treatment provides superior protection against corrosion and rust, making it the most resistant option against environmental humidity. Although our structures are primarily designed for interiors such as garages or storage rooms, this variant is the most suitable if the environment presents more demanding climatic conditions. By choosing this option, you ensure greater durability of the materials against external factors, maintaining the stability and safety of your storage system in the long term.
