PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Longspan shelving is a heavy-duty boltless shelving system designed for hand-loaded storage of cartons, boxes, spare parts, and bulky items that are too large for small-parts shelving but don't need pallet racking. Long beam spans create wide, open shelves with no vertical obstructions — so you can store and retrieve items quickly by hand. CH Racking & Displays supplies and installs longspan shelving across Melbourne and Victoria from our Dandenong South facility.
The boltless clip-in design means shelves assemble in minutes without tools and adjust in height as your storage needs change. Shelf levels can be set at any position along the upright, and a range of decking options — steel panels, chipboard, or wire mesh — suit different load types and environments.
Longspan shelving bridges the gap between light-duty shelving and pallet racking, making it a cost-effective warehouse storage solution for stockrooms, archives, workshops, spare parts stores, and back-of-house retail — anywhere goods are picked by hand rather than by forklift.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is longspan shelving?
Longspan shelving is a heavy-duty boltless shelving system with long beam spans that create wide, open shelves. It's designed for hand-loaded storage of bulky, non-palletised goods — cartons, boxes, spare parts, and archives — that are too large for small-parts shelving but don't require pallet racking.
Is longspan shelving boltless?
Yes. Longspan shelving uses a boltless clip-in design — beams and shelves assemble in minutes without bolts or special tools, and shelf heights can be adjusted at any time as your storage needs change.
How much weight can longspan shelving hold?
Load capacity depends on beam length, upright height, and decking type. Longspan systems are available in a range of duty ratings to suit light through to heavy hand-loaded storage. CH Racking will recommend the right specification for your load — contact us for a tailored quote.
What is the difference between longspan shelving and pallet racking?
Longspan shelving is hand-loaded and designed for cartons, boxes, and loose items picked manually. Pallet racking is built for palletised goods loaded and retrieved by forklift. Longspan sits between light-duty shelving and pallet racking — ideal when goods are bulky but don't sit on pallets.
What decking options are available?
Longspan shelving is available with steel panel decking for heavier and industrial loads, chipboard (particleboard) decking for cartons and general storage, and wire mesh decking that allows air, light, and sprinkler flow through — useful for fire-code compliant environments.
