Types of Industrial Shelving

Several shelving options are available, each designed to meet specific storage needs. Below are some of the most popular types of industrial warehouse shelving we offer, each with varying weight capacities to handle a wide range of products:

Steel Clip Shelving

Steel clip shelving provides a sturdy, modular, and flexible storage solution, ideal for small to medium-sized items. This shelving system is easily adjustable to accommodate changing inventory sizes, making it a versatile choice for dynamic storage needs. 

Weight capacity: 200-1,000 lbs per shelf, depending on the configuration and application. Steel clip shelving is great for organizing tools, parts, and light-to-medium goods, optimizing warehouse space efficiently.

Modular Drawer Cabinets

Modular drawer cabinets offer secure, organized storage for small parts and components. They are ideal for industries that require precise inventory control and quick access to items. Each drawer can be customized with dividers or inserts to organize small parts better, ensuring easy retrieval and maintaining organization. Modular drawer cabinets are especially useful in manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive environments, where small parts must be securely stored but easily accessible.

Rivet Shelving

Rivet shelving is a heavy-duty, boltless shelving system that is quick to assemble and built for durability. This shelving type is ideal for storing medium to heavy-duty items and is fully adjustable to meet various storage needs. 

Weight capacity: 200-2,200 lbs per shelf, depending on configuration. With its robust design and ease of customization, rivet shelving is often used in industrial settings to organize extensive inventories and bulky items.

Wide-Span Shelving

Wide-span shelving is designed for bulkier and heavier items, offering ample storage capacities while maintaining accessibility. This type of shelving is ideal for more giant warehouses and distribution centers, where space efficiency and easy product access are critical.

Weight capacity: 1,000-3,000 lbs per shelf, depending on the setup. Wide-span shelving can be configured for different sizes, depths, and heights, making it perfect for storing large equipment, tires, or oversized materials. Its open design allows for easy picking and efficient use of space in high-traffic areas.

These shelving systems can be customized to meet your specific storage needs, ensuring your warehouse operates efficiently. Whether you need to store small parts, heavy tools, or bulk materials, we have the right shelving solution.

How to Choose the Right Warehouse Shelving System

Selecting the right shelving system for your warehouse requires considering several key factors:

Product Weight and Size

Determine the weight and size of the products you plan to store. Heavier, bulkier items require more robust shelving, such as rivets or wide-span shelving, while lighter products can be stored on modular or steel clip shelving.

Accessibility Needs

Think about how often products are accessed. Frequently picked items should be stored on lower shelves for easy access, while items with less turnover can be stored higher up. This ensures your shelving layout maximizes both efficiency and safety.

Budget Considerations

Industrial shelving systems come in various materials (e.g., steel, wire mesh) and pricing structures. Understanding your budget will help you select a shelving solution that fits your financial constraints while providing the necessary functionality.

You can choose a shelving system that enhances safety and efficiency by carefully evaluating your warehouse needs. The right solution can dramatically improve your warehouse organization, reduce operational bottlenecks, and help streamline workflow.
