What is a galvanised shelving add-on bay?

A galvanised shelving add-on bay is an extension unit that connects directly to an existing starter bay, allowing you to increase storage capacity while maintaining a continuous shelving run.

Why choose galvanised shelving over chipboard shelving?

Galvanised shelving offers superior resistance to moisture, corrosion, and temperature fluctuations. It is particularly suitable for freezer rooms, cold stores, food storage areas, and pharmaceutical environments where hygiene and durability are important.

What is the maximum load capacity?

Each shelf level can support up to 800kg UDL, while the entire bay offers a maximum load capacity of up to 4000kg. Please refer to the product specifications for detailed loading information.

Are the shelf levels adjustable?

Beam levels can be adjusted in 50mm increments, making it easy to configure the shelving around different stock sizes and storage requirements.

Is this shelving suitable for freezer rooms and cold stores?

Yes. The galvanised trays are designed to perform in low-temperature and moisture-prone environments, making them ideal for freezer rooms, cold stores, and chilled storage facilities.

Can I expand the system in the future?

The longspan galvanised shelving system is fully scalable, with additional add-on bays, accessories, and bespoke configurations available to accommodate future storage growth.

Longspan Galvanised Shelving Add-on Bay

Designed specifically to extend an existing starter bay, this add-on shelving system enables businesses to increase storage capacity without investing in additional standalone units. Featuring galvanised steel trays and a robust steel frame construction, the add-on bay is particularly suited to environments where moisture, condensation, or low temperatures may affect traditional shelving materials.

The boltless design and pre-assembled frames ensure quick and straightforward installation. Simply slot the beams into the existing and new uprights, secure them using the supplied safety locking pins, and position the galvanised trays into place.

Fully adjustable shelf levels allow the system to accommodate changing stock profiles, while the open design enables shelving to span over ground-stored goods or pallets where required, maximising available storage space.
