Description · Archive Shelving Units for Warehouse U-Shaped 3 Bays

Optimise warehouse storage with these galvanised archive shelving units arranged in a 3-bay U-shaped configuration. Designed to fit into tight corners and stockroom layouts, each 180x90x40 cm section features 5 height-adjustable levels for efficient manual loading. With a robust load capacity of 175 kg per tier (875 kg total per bay), this corrosion-resistant metal framework ensures long-lasting durability for boxed documents, heavy tools, and stock. The clever boltless assembly system allows quick setup without complex tools, making these archive shelving units an ideal solution for organising busy commercial premises, garages, and workshops across Ireland.

Equipping an Irish facility with heavy-duty stock storage requires balanced weight capability across every single tier. Featuring three connected modules with five height-adjustable levels each, these versatile archive shelving units ensure complete flexibility for storing heavy document files, hardware, or office supplies. Every single shelf board comfortably supports a 175 kg weight limit of evenly distributed load, meaning your teams can organise dense paperwork or heavy workshop crates with total peace of mind. Adjusting tier positions lets you easily accommodate taller containers without wasting valuable vertical headroom across your commercial premises.

Sized at 180 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 40 cm deep per bay, this three-module configuration creates an expansive U-shaped layout that maximises room corner spaces. Within each individual archive shelving unit, you can store heavy toolboxes, archive boxes, medium containers, or boxed inventory systematically. The 40 cm depth offers an ideal balance, providing ample space for standard storage boxes without encroaching excessively onto main floor pathways. Because each level adjusts smoothly along structural slots, reconfiguring the shelf heights to suit changing inventory demands remains straightforward and efficient.

Built for long-term operational strength, these modular archive shelving units consist of robust steel upright frames, sturdy horizontal beams, and steel shelf plates. The boltless design simplifies assembly significantly, allowing you to slot horizontal beams directly into pre-punched frame perforations without needing complex tools or bolts. This interlocking structural frame provides exceptional rigidity once assembled, ensuring that your storage setup stays firm under daily manual loading. It delivers an exceptionally stable framework capable of enduring rigorous daily retrieval across busy commercial stockrooms and industrial sites.

Finished in durable galvanised steel, these archive shelving units resist corrosion and mechanical wear, making them ideal for humid storerooms, garages, and active workshops across Ireland. If your facility requires alternative aesthetics or altered dimensions, the wider URBAN range offers identical three-bay U-shaped layouts in a sleek matt black finish as well as 30 cm depth profiles. Selecting the galvanised coating guarantees a clean industrial finish that maintains its appearance despite frequent contact with heavy crates, metal containers, and filing boxes.

Choosing this U-shaped 40 cm deep setup over narrower 30 cm models or straight module configurations provides the perfect middle ground for workshops, backrooms, and active stockrooms. It transforms unused room corners into structured, highly accessible storage zones. Compared to single linear setups, arranging your industrial storage space around three connected modules maximizes available floor footprint while keeping essential items within immediate reach. For facilities storing medium-sized filing crates and heavy tools alongside standard paperwork, this 40 cm galvanised archive shelving unit setup is the definitive practical choice.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Archive Shelving Units for Warehouse U-Shaped 3 Bays · 180x90x40 cm

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.
