What Is Industrial Shelving?
Industrial shelving at Warehouse Fitout involves designing and installing storage solutions for large-scale storage needs. Our systems cater to different industries, providing options for heavy goods, spare parts, and equipment.
We offer a range of shelving types including pallet racking, long-span shelving, and mobile shelving. Pallet racking is ideal for heavy-load storage, while long-span shelving suits lighter goods that require quick access.
Mobile shelving systems maximize space efficiency by reducing the footprint required for aisles.
Our team conducts thorough site assessments to determine client-specific requirements and ensure compatibility with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), helping in inventory management. We work with materials that meet UK safety standards, such as powder-coated steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
Whether you need integrated shelving in an automotive warehouse or bespoke solutions for a food distribution centre, we ensure every arrangement is crafted for efficiency and space management.

What Types of Industrial Shelving Are Available?
We offer a wide range of industrial shelving types to cater to diverse needs, ensuring efficient use of space and optimised storage solutions for various industries.
Pallet Racking: Ideal for warehouses, allowing easy access to pallets. We provide different configurations such as single-deep, double-deep, and drive-in racking to maximise storage density and accessibility.
Cantilever Shelving: Perfect for long or bulky items like timber or pipes. Our cantilever systems can be customised for different weight capacities and lengths, making them suitable for construction materials and furniture storage.
Mezzanine Floors: Create additional floor space without extending your building. Constructed from steel or composite materials, they comply with building regulations to safely double your surface area for offices or extra storage.
Long Span Shelving: Suitable for items that are not palletised but still need robust storage. This type of shelving excels in maintaining clear aisle access and can be adapted for archive records, boxes, or irregularly shaped products.
Feel free to contact us for further details on which shelving system best suits your operational needs.
What Does Industrial Shelving Cover?
Industrial shelving is suitable for storing a wide range of goods, including pallets, pipes, spare parts, tools, and heavy equipment. It is designed for use in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and any large storage spaces where organisation and accessibility are crucial.
Our solutions can be tailored to fit any unique space or capacity requirement.
We offer various shelving types, including boltless shelving for easy assembly and adjustment, and cantilever shelving ideal for long, bulky items. Our systems are constructed to meet safety standards such as ISO 9001, ensuring reliability under heavy loads.
We also provide options with powder-coated finishes for durability, and galvanised shelving for environments with high humidity. Our installations accommodate diverse client needs, from automotive to electronics sectors, and typically can be completed within two to three days.

When Is Industrial Shelving Needed?
Industrial shelving is needed whenever there is a requirement for large-scale storage solutions. It is particularly beneficial for businesses experiencing growth, changes in inventory management, or a need to optimise existing space.
Warehouses dealing with a high turnover of inventory can greatly benefit from pallet racking systems, which support large loads and allow for easy forklift access. Companies managing diverse product lines may find value in adjustable shelving options, such as cantilever racks, ideal for storing long or bulky items.
In addition, businesses that handle sensitive or high-value items can look into wire shelving solutions that promote better air circulation and visibility to enhance security and inventory checks. If your stock handling efficiency or storage safety is a concern, now is the time to explore our shelving options.
How Does Industrial Shelving Work?
The industrial shelving process at Warehouse Fitout follows these steps to ensure optimal storage solutions:
Consultation: We assess your storage needs and space constraints, considering factors such as load weight capacities, accessibility, and workflow efficiency.
Design: Our team develops a shelving layout tailored to your requirements, incorporating specific shelving types like pallet racking, cantilever racks, or wire shelving depending on your inventory type. We use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to accurately visualise and plan the space.
Installation: Expert installation is conducted using high-tensile steel and precision tools to ensure stability and compliance with safety standards like EN 15635, which governs the operational safety of storage systems.
Inspection: Post-installation checks are performed to ensure the shelving meets industry standards and functions efficiently. Regular inspections also help prevent wear-related issues and maintain structural integrity.
Our approach guarantees a safe and efficient storage system tailored to your industrial needs.

How Long Does Industrial Shelving Take?
Installing industrial shelving typically takes one to two weeks depending on the shelving complexity and space size. During this time, we prepare the site, sometimes making minor modifications to accommodate the new shelving system.
The initial consultation and design phase can take an additional one to two weeks, where we assess the space and create CAD layouts for precise planning. We employ diverse shelving systems, including cantilever racks for handling long items and pallet racking suitable for heavy loads.
Our team ensures all structures comply with relevant safety standards such as FEM 10.2.02. Once installed, systems are ready for use immediately, allowing for minimal disruption to your operations.

What Are the Benefits of Industrial Shelving?
Industrial shelving offers numerous benefits for businesses. Efficient storage solutions like pallet racking systems and cantilever racks help in optimising space utilisation by allowing vertical stacking.
This is especially beneficial in warehouses with limited floor space.
Optimised Space Utilisation: Maximises available storage area by using vertical space through systems like pallet racking and cantilevers, ideal for bulky or long items.
Improved Organisation: Facilitates better inventory management with integrated bin and layout systems that enable quick stock checks.
Enhanced Safety: Sturdy structures comply with safety standards like those from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), reducing the risk of accidents.
Flexibility: Customisable to fit various space requirements and industry needs, including adjustable shelves and multi-tier installations.
Such adaptability ensures that as your business evolves, your storage solutions can easily adapt too. If you are looking to enhance your warehouse efficiency, contact us for a consultation.
