Longspan & Widespan Shelving Systems

As one of the most common types of shelving used in warehouses, factories and other commercial environments, longspan shelving can be configured to meet a range of storage requirements and is quick and efficient to install.

What Is Longspan Shelving?

Longspan shelving, also known as wide span shelving, is a straightforward commercial storage system that’s ideal for long, bulky or heavy goods.

Thanks to its tough steel bolted construction, longspan shelving is able to accommodate heavy loads with ease. The format of longspan shelving also means that it is perfect for storing long items such as lengths of timber of piping.

Longspan systems do not require a ground level support which means they can be used in combination with single height pallet storage for warehouses needing to store a variety of items within a single longspan racking and shelving system.

Installation is fast and efficient, using an upright and beam system, along with a choice of decking shelves.

Longspan systems offer a range of shelving and decking options including timber, mesh and steel.

The type of longspan shelving system that you require will depend on the type of item that you need to store.

  • Timber decking is perfect for dry goods
  • Steel decks are used when storing liquids to wipe clean
  • Steel mesh shelving offers ventilation and sprinkler access if required.

 

How to build Longspan Shelving

Longspan Uprights can be supplied assembled or flat pack. Once the uprights are assembled, beams are secured onto the uprights and are adjustable. Locking clips prevent accidental movement. When the frames and beams are installed, shelving materials simply drop into place.

Longspan Frames start at 1830mm high to 4880mm high and beam lengths are from 1220mm length to 2745mm. The Avanta system that is held in stock offers a frame capacity of 5000KG and a beam capacity of 1200KG.

Avanta offers longspan shelving from a range of UK and European manufacturers who can produce bespoke beam lengths and frame heights and depths as required. Additionally, an Economy Longspan Shelving System that offers various heights, widths and depths at a very competitive price is available.
