Goods Shelving

Goods shelving, also known as storage shelving or commercial shelving, refers to a system of shelves or racks used to store and organize goods in various settings such as warehouses, retail stores, industrial facilities, and offices. These shelving units are designed to maximize storage space, improve accessibility, and facilitate efficient inventory management.

Goods Shelving Features

Adjustable Shelving

Many goods shelving systems feature adjustable shelves, allowing for customization to accommodate items of different sizes and heights. The ability to modify shelf heights provides flexibility in organizing goods and optimizing storage space.

Material and Construction

Goods shelving can be constructed from various materials such as steel, metal, wire, or wood. Steel and metal shelving are popular choices due to their strength, durability, and ability to handle heavy loads. Wire shelving is lightweight and offers good visibility and airflow, making it suitable for retail or pantry storage.

Shelves and Load Capacity

The shelving units consist of multiple shelves or racks, typically arranged horizontally. The load capacity of each shelf depends on the material, construction, and design of the shelving system. Industrial-grade shelving can support heavier loads, while lighter-duty shelving is suitable for lighter items or office supplies.

Boltless Design

Many modern goods shelving systems employ a boltless design, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly without the need for additional tools. This feature simplifies installation and reconfiguration of the shelving units as storage needs change.

Mobile Shelving

Mobile shelving, also known as mobile racking or compact shelving, consists of shelving units mounted on carriages or tracks. This design allows the shelves to slide or move horizontally, creating aisles only where needed and maximizing space utilization in high-density storage areas.

Pallet Racking

Pallet racking is a type of goods shelving specifically designed for storing palletized goods. It utilizes horizontal beams and vertical frames to create multiple levels of storage for pallets. Pallet racking systems can be configured as selective, drive-in, or push-back racks, depending on the specific storage requirements.

Accessories and Add-ons

Goods shelving systems often offer a range of accessories and add-ons to enhance functionality and organization. These may include dividers, bins, label holders, hooks, and drawers, allowing for better categorization and easier retrieval of items.

Safety Features

Safety is an important consideration in goods shelving. Many systems incorporate safety features such as beam connectors, safety pins, corner guards, and load-bearing capacity labels to ensure proper weight distribution and stability. Anchoring options are also available to secure the shelving units to the floor or wall for added stability.
