What Surfaces Does Longspan Shelving Work On?
Longspan Shelving systems work effectively on solid, level surfaces such as concrete and finished floors. We ensure your shelving is installed for maximum stability and efficiency in spaces like warehouses, workshops, and retail environments.
It's crucial to install these systems on a surface that can bear weight loads to ensure safety and functionality. We often use reinforced steel frames with adjustable shelving options to accommodate varying storage needs.
Our systems are not suitable for uneven or unstable surfaces, where additional measures may be required. On such surfaces, it may be necessary to employ surface levelling techniques or specialised floor treatments to provide a stable installation foundation.
For environments with significant temperature variations, like outdoor storage areas, it's also important to consider surface expansion and contraction. Get in touch for specific installation advice in your area.
