Medium Duty Racking System
The versatile industrial storage solution bridging the gap between light shelving and heavy pallet racks — supporting 200-800kg per level with tool-free assembly and infinite adjustability for your growing inventory.
What Is Medium Duty Racking?
The mid-range industrial shelving solution designed for hand-loaded cartons and bins.
Medium duty racking, also known as longspan shelving, is a modular storage system engineered to carry significant hand-loaded weights ranging from 200 kg to 800 kg per level. It fills the critical gap between lightweight boltless shelving and heavy-duty pallet racking, providing industrial-grade durability at a competitive price point.
800 kg Capacity
Handles heavy industrial bins and hand-loaded goods safely
50mm Pitch
Reposition beam levels in minutes without tools or bolts
3m Wide Spans
Wide open shelving for bulky items and oversized cartons
Tool-Free Build
Simple clip-in assembly allows for rapid facility deployment
Common Storage Challenges
Light Shelving Weakness
Standard shelves sag or buckle under heavy industrial items, risking safety.
✅ 200-800kg rated steel framesPallet Rack Over-Spend
Heavy pallet racking is overkill and overpriced for hand-picked cartons.
✅ Right-sized capacity at 40% less costWasted Vertical Height
Fixed-height levels create large gaps, wasting 30% of your cubic space.
✅ 50mm pitch adjustment pitchComplex Installation
Traditional racking takes hours per bay and needs certified installers.
✅ 15-min clip-in assembly by anyoneStatic Rigid Layouts
Most systems are hard to reconfigure as your inventory sizes evolve.
✅ Tool-free beam height repositioningLimited Decking Options
Systems with only one shelf type force compromises on airflow or safety.

Trusted Across High-Volume Industries
Medium-duty racking is an ideal storage solution for storing medium-weight products that require both manual storage and high accessibility.
Healthcare
Organise medical supplies, consumables, and equipment with precision. Smooth powder-coated finishes are easy to wipe down, supporting hygiene compliance across clinical, hospital, and pharmaceutical storage environments.
Food & Beverage
Store ambient dry goods, packaged foods, and beverages in compliance with food-safety standards. Open-frame construction promotes air circulation while wire-mesh decking ensures effective sprinkler system penetration.
3PL & Logistics
Ideal for pick-and-pack zones requiring fast access to a wide range of SKUs. Medium duty racking maximises vertical space while keeping every product within easy reach for order fulfilment teams working at high throughput.
Office & Archive
Manage document boxes, binders, and media archives efficiently across multiple shelf tiers. The boltless design allows quick reconfiguration as filing needs grow or departmental requirements evolve over time.
Manufacturing
Support lean production with line-side component buffers that place raw materials and sub-assemblies exactly where workers need them, reducing walking distances and improving assembly line throughput.
Automotive Parts
Handle sequenced parts storage for dealerships, repair centres, and assembly plants. Long-span beams accommodate bulky items such as bumpers and exhaust systems without sacrificing accessibility or picking speed.
Retail & Wholesale
Keep back-of-house storage organised and efficient. Adjustable shelf heights accommodate seasonal product changes, allowing retail staff to replenish shop floors rapidly without disrupting daily operations.
Workshop & Garage
Store tools, spare parts, and maintenance supplies in a structured, easy-to-audit system. Robust shelf panels handle uneven loads while keeping the workspace clutter-free, organised, and safe for daily use.
15-Min Assembly
Frames
Position the two upright frames.
Beams
Clip beams into upright slots.
Pins
Insert safety clips into beam ends.
Bracing
Install back bracing if required.
Decking
Drop panels onto beam supports.
