Which storage rack do you need?
What weight does the shelf need to take?
Light LoadThe bottom line in choosing shelves is - they need to store goods without collapsing. If you're storing lighter items such as books, binders and archive boxes, a shelf with a maximum load of 150 kg per shelf is sufficient. Simpler sheet metal shelves are both flexible and durable and work well in both the office and the warehouse. We recommend LIGHT or TOTAL.
Medium Load
If the storage shelf is intended for slightly heavier items, the weight class 170-190 kg per shelf is a good choice. These shelves are adapted for warehouse environments, but also work in offices where slightly heavier things need to be stored. In this weight class there are POWER and TRANSFORM.
Heavy Load
Storage shelves for tougher environments such as workshops and industry need to withstand up to 700 kg. For extra stability when storing heavy goods, a model with a foot for bolting into the floor is suitable with regard to work environment safety. Here we recommend TOUGH and COMBO.
Where will your shelving be placed?
Should the shelf stand free or against a wall?If you need to access the shelf from two sides, you need stable construction that does not require a back cross. Back plates can be used to separate shelves that stand back to back or to protect visibility.
What are the dimensions of the space for the shelves?
Always make sure you have the best use of the space. Most shelving systems have a large selection of height, width and shelf depth. With careful planning, it's possible to make full use of the surfaces. Are you happy with high shelves that reach the ceiling or do you need to reach the top shelf level without the aid of a stool or ladder?
Do the shelves need to be moved often?
If you need flexibility, it might be a good idea to check the assembly instructions before buying. For example, choose a shelf with pre-assembled ends where the only thing you need to do is hook the shelves you choose at any height.

What needs to be stored?
Small partsIf there are smaller items to be stored, picking trays are a smart solution. They provide a good overview of the range. With trays that are sized for the shelf system, storage is both efficient and compact. Plastic trays are available for both small parts and slightly larger items.
Hidden storage
Shelves with end plate and back plate offer partially hidden storage and separate the shelf sections from each other. Complete with pull-out drawers and doors to prevent visibility. Choose a door with a lock to protect sensitive goods.
Shelves for specific purposes
Some items need custom storage. Examples of this are tyre racks, pallet racks and chemical shelves. Feel free to ask a salesperson for advice if you are not sure which type of shelf is best for your purposes.

Need different types of shelves?
In our wide range of different shelves we have systems that are better suited for use in offices, archives, or retail.
Archive or filing shelves are available in many different variations and designs. If the shelf is intended for storage of lighter files and folders, a simple archive shelf will suffice. An archive shelf can be suitable in many environments - the important thing is that the capacity and construction match what is to be stored.
Lighter office shelves may need to be anchored to the wall, while many stronger shelves can stand freely and allow access from both sides.
Wall-mounted shelf systems are an excellent choice for storing lighter items such as folders. A support strip is screwed onto the chosen wall surface and hanging rails are mounted on the strip. The shelves can be placed at any distance and height. There are wall systems with or without shelf gables. Practical and space-saving storage that can be used advantageously in storage rooms.
Retail shelves are for displaying and storing goods in stores. But store shelves can also be suitable for use in other environments, such as warehouse spaces, workshops, and garages.
Food or kitchen shelving is adapted for storage of food in store or warehouse environments that have higher requirements. The shelves are available in different designs adapted for cooling or freezer rooms. The shelf panels are usually food-approved and are an optimal choice in spaces where hygiene is important. They are easy to clean and designed to collect minimal dust.
