Compact Warehouse Transformation

APEX Racking’s Longspan Shelving system builds out from a first bay, and uses boltless assembly should the configuration need to change in the future. We recommended 8x 1800mmL bays and 1x 1500mmL bay (all 600mmW). Each shelf has been rated to a 125 kg max load, with 500 kg of floor capacity, based on the Mezzanine Floor point load per-square-metre.

At a touch over 3-metres tall, with a total bay load capacity of 1800kg (or, 600 kg per level) the racking system uses 18mm particle board shelves for storing larger items. Stock can be easily moved in and out with a clearance of 990mm between three shelves, plus floor storage if required. The shelves were anchored to the concrete floor to meet safety standards. Racking is set back from the wall by 300mm to allow for a margin of error when filling the bay via forklift.

The galvanised steel clamp stanchion system was installed to surround the upper level, including a sliding gate mechanism to allow for delivery or retrieval of pallets to the upper level via forklift.

The sleek powder-coated dark grey matches the mezzanine floor is suited to workers of all heights at 900mm high, with 18mm particle board to sit flush with the top of the beam.

We added 3 x workbench drawers for storing regularly-used tools (single drawer size available 600x600x192mm).
