Description · U Shaped Shelving Unit

This u shaped shelving unit consists of four 180x90x40 cm modules designed to maximise storage efficiency in Irish storerooms, workshops, and commercial spaces. Featuring a boltless galvanized frame for quick assembly and corrosion protection, each bay offers 5 height-adjustable levels built for hand-loading boxes, tools, and stock. With a reliable 175 kg load capacity per level and a total strength of 875 kg per bay, this heavy-duty system keeps your space organised while providing long-lasting stability across every corner configuration.

Organising busy stockrooms or commercial premises across Ireland requires reliable weight distribution across every level. Featuring five adjustable tiers per module, a u shaped shelving unit layout gives you total flexibility when storing heavy toolboxes, bulky storage crates, sports kit, or archive boxes. Each individual shelf supports up to 175 kg of evenly distributed load, ensuring complete structural integrity under demanding daily use. Commercial buyers can easily reconfigure shelf positions to accommodate shifting inventory sizes, creating an efficient overhead storage strategy that keeps floor spaces completely clear and safe.

With dimensions measuring 180 cm in height, 90 cm in width, and 40 cm in depth, each section in this U shaped shelving unit offers ample storage surface without obstructing narrow walkways. Standard storage containers, large tools, lever-arch files, and retail stock fit neatly onto these metal shelves. The height between levels adjusts effortlessly using a smooth slot-in connection system. This allows stock managers across Ireland to tailor every tier to exact product dimensions, maximizing vertical capacity without leaving empty, wasted air space above lower inventory items.

Constructed with heavy-duty upright columns, horizontal beams, solid metal shelves, and stabilizing bracing, this modular U shaped shelving unit is engineered for long-term operational stability. The entire framework utilises a clever boltless assembly system, eliminating the need for complex tools, nuts, or bolts during setup. Components simply lock firmly into place, allowing your team to complete full installation in minutes. The robust steel structure maintains absolute rigidity across all four interconnected bays, delivering dependable performance during routine hand-loading tasks.

The bright galvanized finish on this U-shaped shelving unit provides outstanding protection against rust and surface corrosion. This protective treatment makes it ideal for damp or unheated environments across Irish premises, including backroom storage areas, domestic garages, or commercial workshops prone to humidity shifts. Within the broader URBAN range, alternative aesthetics are available, such as a sleek Matte Black finish, along with narrower 30 cm shelf depths to suit tighter floorplans while retaining full modular versatility.

Choosing this 40 cm deep galvanized U shaped shelving unit ensures the perfect middle ground between space efficiency and high load capacity. Compared to 30 cm shelf variants, the 40 cm depth accepts larger storage containers without extending too far into workspace aisles. The galvanized coating ensures superior resilience in hard-working commercial workshops, back-of-house store rooms, and maintenance bays. It represents a practical, long-lasting storage investment designed to transform corner spaces into organised, accessible work environments.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · U Shaped Shelving Unit · 180x90x40 cm · 175 kg · Galvanized

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.
