1. What is longspan shelving?
Longspan shelving has a similar design to industrial pallet racking. It specifically consists of end frames, beams, and shelves, which are available in a variety of shelf materials. You will find it used in industrial environments as it has a larger shelf range and is typically stronger than other styles of office shelving. Our longspan shelving suits both small and large bulky products alike due to its long spans, deep shelves, and open-style racking design. Space Rescue is a supplier of longspan shelving for sale in Sydney NSW, Melbourne VIC, Brisbane QLD, Adelaide SA, and Perth WA.

a) Lengths
The overall length of a single run of industrial longspan shelving may be determined by adding 60mm per frame to the open beam measurements. This will yield the overall length of the shelving run.
b) Materials
The choice of shelf materials is, as has been noted below:
- Board
- Mesh Decks
- Steel Decking
Note: Mesh and steel decking are not specifically available in a 1200mm shelf (or frame) depth.
c) Finishes
Firstly, posts and beams have a dark grey powder-coat paint finish. On the other hand, all frame bracing, baseplates (or footplates), and hardware have a zinc-plated finish.
4. Applications for Longspan Shelving
This type of heavy-duty shelving is surprisingly versatile due to its clean, open design, longer spans, and variety of greater depths.
Longspan shelving suits a variety of applications, including warehouses, garages, and factories, as well as retail and office environments, and in particular on mezzanine floors and in shipping containers.
This shelving style can also be found in office back rooms storing archive boxes and other paraphernalia, or in home garages acting as heavy-duty shelving.
