Long span shelving is shelving that can span a great length or have the capacity to be extended to great lengths, being an excellent storage solution. The shelving is predominantly designed for warehouses where goods are deposited and removed manually from the shelves. However, robotic options are also available.
The modular shelving design provides fast and easy assembly, and you can achieve the maximum possible storage capacity regardless of your available space. In addition, the shelving system allows for the easy configuration and adjustment of storage heights to meet your changing requirements, providing a system that moves and changes with you.
The long span system optimises warehouse height and can create two-tier high-rise and mobile shelving installations. To access the higher levels, devices that can lift the operator to the required height, such as stacker cranes or order-picking forklift trucks, can be utilised and gangways between shelves.
