Heavy-duty shelving is built for hand-loaded storage of boxes, totes, parts and stock that doesn't go on a pallet. Unlike forklift-served pallet racking, shelving is set around an operator's reach for frequent manual picking — ideal for stockrooms, parts stores, workshops and order-picking faces.
Our range includes GPC Small Parts Shelf Units (ASU) for high-density storage of smaller components, and SSI Schaefer Heavy-Duty Industrial Shelving for heavier hand-loaded items across more demanding environments. Adjustable shelf levels let you re-set the unit as your product mix changes, and bays can be added in runs to scale with you.
Choose by the weight per shelf you need, the size of the items stored, and how often they're picked. Keep within the rated load and don't be tempted to store forklift-placed pallets on shelving — that's a job for pallet racking. Shelving remains work equipment under PUWER, so keep it in good condition and loaded within its limits.
