Multilevel Shelving Unit Construction

Shelving units are essentially designed to be self-supporting structures. The shelving units are prefabricated structures composed of special rolled steel section, support beams, and shelves; they are reinforced with diagonal bracing. The basic shelving design is one upright frame with shelving bays. The shelving unit frame is made from four uprights of the appropriate height that are interconnected by diagonal on depth from front to back. The shelving frame must always retain two shelves, i.e., two storage levels to ensure the stability of the overall construction. It is also possible to equip the shelving unit with any of the accessories provided.

Shelving Support Beams

These are made from cold-formed steel sheeting. They are equipped with brackets on both ends that fit into the perforated frame holes. The section size and the support beam shape differ according to the required load capacity and length. The support beam shape allows the bay to be supplemented with shelves of particle board or sheet metal panels.

Flow Pallet Racking

This system is used to store individual items for crates, boxes, and containers of various sizes. It is possible to divide the roller tier into individual lanes with partition strips; it is also possible to adjust both the roller tracks as well as the partition strips. The rollers are made from highly resistant plastic and are fitted with a metal shaft.

Partitions and Dividers

These are primarily used for separating individual types of materials or goods and for creating individually organized sections on longer shelving units.

Surface Finish

The standard finish is either galvanization or a paint powder coat. The basic colors are RAL 5010 blue and RAL 7035 gray. It is also possible to supply the shelving in other RAL colors.

Frames for Discs and Tires

These are used to store discs or pneumatic tires. They are manufactured from welded hollow structural section. They are vertically adjustable and are attached to the shelving frame using specially shaped hooks.

Mesh and Screens

These are attached to the shelving frame.

It is possible to supply a whole range of accessories according to how the shelving will actually be used:

• Shelves from grating in combination with spill trays for storing chemicals or mineral oils
• Partitions for separating individual shelves
• Special support beams for storing clothing on hangers
• Storage shelving for small-scale material
• Pole brackets for hanging ladders
• Side and back wall panels.
