Large Span Shelving: Why They Are Popular

Large span shelving or wide span shelving systems are the perfect industrial shelving solution for most storage from small light parts to huge heavy cartons to meet your loading requirements because of the flexibility to adjust the height and configuration with different options of metal shelving. You can easily adjust the height and configuration as needed.

Stronger rack-mounted construction withstands heavier loads than typical shelving. Large Span Bulk RacksLarge Span Bulk Racks consist of frames and beams similar to pallet racking, rather than using steel plates to build vertical supports and racks (closed racking), or vertical columns with interlocking racking levels (open racking). Large-span frames consist of two uprights, supports, and a footboard or base plate.

Specialized Design

The actual load capacity depends on the column and beam size and beam spacing you choose, allowing you to build large span storage to accommodate specific load weights. For example, your beams may be able to support 1,764 pounds at 72 inches wide, but your total capacity depends on how tightly the beams are spaced horizontally. Assuming the beams are spaced every 10 inches on the column - your total capacity is 9,570 pounds, but if the beam spacing increases to 70 inches, the total capacity drops to 5,072 pounds. Even with these factors, the capacity per shelf level is much higher than a typical shelf.

Application Specific

Large Span Bulk Racking One of the major advantages of large span racking is that it is ideal for manual loading environments where small quantities of various products need to be available at all times. This includes case or piece picking via light inventory rotation. Large-span shelving is also ideal for storing tall, wide or bulky items - such as machinery parts, tires, cable reels, etc.

Large-span shelving is easy to install, can be reconfigured as needed, and is easy to move. It can also be installed in mezzanine aisle configurations to save space on the ground floor.

Height flexibility, high load capacity and long life - consider using large-span racking for large, bulky, medium to heavy loads that do not require forklift loading or unloading.
