Description · Light Duty Storage Rack U-Shaped 2 Bays

Organise your workshop or stockroom efficiently using this light duty rack configured in a U-shaped 2-bay arrangement. Each 180x90x40 cm module provides a robust 175 kg load capacity per level, delivering 875 kg total capacity per bay across 5 height-adjustable tiers. Engineered for manual hand-loading, this unit features a sleek boltless matte black frame that snaps together quickly without tools. Ideal for keeping tools, boxed inventory, and bulky items neatly stored while ensuring clear frontal access across compact Irish storage areas.

Managing inventory efficiently in any Irish commercial premises requires high capacity without taking up unnecessary footprint. This two-bay system provides five height-adjustable shelves per module, allowing staff to neatly arrange archive boxes, equipment containers, or inventory bins. With each level holding up to 175 kg of evenly distributed weight (yielding an impressive 875 kg capacity per module), this versatile light duty rack ensures heavy equipment remains securely stored. Optimising vertical space while maintaining complete manual accessibility is simple when choosing a durable unit built for daily operational demands.

Sized at 180 cm high, 90 cm wide, and 40 cm deep per section, the U-shaped two-bay layout expands your storage capacity smoothly. Each level accommodates archive folders, heavy toolboxes, or liquid drums without overcrowding your floor space. Because the shelf heights adjust easily, you can reconfigure these light duty racks whenever item sizes change. This geometric setup lets workers reach stock from multiple sides, making it exceptionally efficient for busy stockrooms needing organised shelf space for varied manual items.

Engineered with solid vertical uprights, sturdy beams, and robust metal shelves, the structural framework delivers long-term stability. Assembling this light duty rack requires no screws or complex tools, saving valuable time during installation. The horizontal beams press directly into the precision perforations on the uprights, forming a rigid structure ready for immediate loading. This boltless locking system also guarantees that adjusting individual shelf heights remains a quick, hassle-free process whenever your storage needs alter in the shop or workshop.

Featuring an attractive matte black finish, this unit introduces a clean, professional aesthetic to any modern workspace. Beyond this sleek dark style, the Urban range includes alternative options such as galvanised finishes for areas demanding increased corrosion resistance, along with shelf depths in both 30 cm and 40 cm dimensions on 180x90 cm frames. Selecting the right light duty racks from this series allows you to align visual presentation with specific environmental requirements, maintaining cohesive organisation across different service areas.

Ideal for stockrooms, workshops, retail premises, or backrooms, this specific 2-bay U-shaped setup is the ideal choice when corner accessibility and sleek visual integration matter most. Compared to single modules or galvanised counterparts, these matte black light duty rack modules provide a stylish surround structure that keeps tools and boxed items right at hand. It offers the perfect balance of professional appearance and hand-loaded functionality, giving Irish businesses a dependable storage solution tailored for high-frequency stock movement.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Light Duty Storage Rack U-Shaped 2 Bays · 180x90x40 cm · Matte Black

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.
