5 creative ways you can use longspan shelving
If you're looking for strong, robust and versatile hand loaded shelving solutions, longspan shelving should be at the top of your list.
At RackZone, our high-quality longspan shelving is designed to meet the diverse storage needs of businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland. While longspan racking systems can be used in stockrooms, workshops, factories and warehouses for the storage of large, bulky and heavy items, there are several creative applications that many businesses overlook.
1. Create a Multi-Tier Picking System
Transform your warehouse efficiency by implementing a multi-tier longspan shelving system. Using vertical space allows you to double or even triple your storage capacity without expanding your facility's footprint. Our heavy duty longspan shelving is perfect for this application, supporting significant weight loads while maintaining easy access for staff. This approach is particularly valuable in urban areas of Ireland, where warehouse space comes at a premium.
2. Build Custom Workstations
One often overlooked application for industrial shelving is creating integrated workstations. Combining longspan racking with appropriately sized worktops allows you to design custom workstations that include working surfaces and accessible storage above and below. The modular design of our longspan shelving makes this configuration easy to customise for specific workflows in manufacturing environments.
3. Retail Display Solutions
Longspan shelving isn't just for backroom storage. Many retail businesses across Ireland & Northern Ireland are discovering the versatility of longspan racking for front-of-house displays. The clean lines and industrial aesthetic, combined with the fast and easy assembly, make it perfect for everything from boutique clothing stores to hardware displays. The adjustable shelf heights allow for merchandise of varying sizes, while the durable construction stands up to daily customer interaction.
4. Mobile Storage Systems
Combine our longspan shelving starter bay with heavy-duty castors to create mobile storage units that can be positioned exactly where needed. This approach is helping warehouses in Ireland handle seasonal inventory or special projects. When a particular storage section isn't required, it can be easily relocated rather than taking up valuable floor space permanently.
5. Archive and Document Management
Organisations with extensive document storage needs are turning to longspan heavy-duty racking for an efficient solution. The depth and strength of these systems make them ideal for storing archive boxes, with capacity far exceeding traditional office shelving. Legal firms, healthcare providers and government offices across Ireland appreciate the combination of accessibility and security that properly organised longspan shelving provides.
