What is Widespan shelving?

What is Widespan shelving – is it the same as Longspan shelving?
Widespan (aka Longspan) is a hand loaded steel shelving system where the shelf size (left to right width) is normally between 1200mm and 2700mm.   Normal frame height is between 2000 – 3000mm and the shelf medium is usually chipboard or steel panels.

So why is Widespan so popular?  
Its because its such a versatile shelving system.  Todays widespan systems uses fully adjustable shelf beams  (clip-on design with no nuts & bolts) so shelf  levels can be change within minutes.    It comes in a wide range of shelf sizes and frame heights and because each shelf can carry higher weight loads over a greater span,  the system uses less components and therefore costs less per sq.metre of shelf space

Widespan can be used to store anything from small cartons to large boxes or components ….in fact anything a person can lift.
Its ideal for wholesalers, cash & carries, factories, archive file storage, clothes & garment traders….etc etc
