Warehouse Shelves & Shelving Systems

Most companies realize they need new warehouse shelves when they run out of space and are facing an imminent move. In many cases the move is not necessary because plenty of space still exists within the facility. Poorly organized supplies, materials, and products can quickly fill a room with clutter, creating the perception that space is limited when it really is not. Both floor space and vertical cube space often go wasted, unnoticed as to the potential they represent.

Warehouse shelving will convert this horizontal and vertical space accordingly into highly organized compartments of efficiency. Products and supplies can then be sorted and stored by category, type, size, or material build, making it easier to maintain track of inventory in the process. Knowing exact counts of crates, boxes, parts, products, and raw materials is the best way to avoid over purchasing, and accurate inventory records also play a very big role in tax valuation at the end of each quarter.

Sometimes sensitive materials like certain chemicals need their own special storage area for safety reasons. They require certain temperatures and a certain level of ventilation to remain stable indoors. Smaller warehouse shelves can be placed in these areas and used to store these substances with minimal hazard to employees and the environment.

Warehouses that see a lot of shipping and receiving activity perhaps benefit the most from shelving units. When trucks and forklifts are rapidly loading and unloading supplies it is vital to stay on top of process flow. The organization that warehouse shelving offers such an operation can mean the difference between staying on schedule or falling behind and having to make up the difference during costly overtime.

The type of warehouse shelving used in a specific environment depends a great deal on the weight of the load it is supporting and the method of retrieval workers used to access materials on the shelf. Different sized industrial shelving units are used in specific environments. The strength of the shelf will to a certain extent determine what can be stored on it.

Workers who need to quickly retrieve small parts or boxes will have a much easier time working with open backed warehouse shelves because they can access these units from the back and the sides as well as the front. Smaller open backed shelves are also used by office managers to store office supplies and documents.

Parts storage is commonly done by adding plates to the shelves inside closed back units. This creates bins that small components can be stored in. 18 gauge and 20 gauge closed back warehouse shelves that can easily support 400-450 lbs in weight are routinely used for storing boxes in stockrooms. They can also be connected together to create box shelving systems that can hold up to 2,000 pounds in weight.

For storage of loads totaling over 2,000 pounds in weight, we recommend long span warehouse shelving. Long span systems, or wide span as they are also known, can convert entire walls into storage areas and can support loads of up to 35,000 pounds. Wide span units are designed with a unique two-piece steel beam support that increases the unitʼs center of gravity and more evenly distributes heavy loads over the surface of the shelves.

Industrial Shelving

Almost any balanced container, product, or item can be stored on an industrial shelf. Just as long as the object has a flat bottom, it will safely balance on the supporting shelf. Round containers can also be stored on industrial shelves provided they have a sufficient diameter on both ends that will allow the cylinder to rest securely on its end.

Used industrial shelves are available in all sizes, designs, and weight capacities. Light weight shelves are often used in offices. Medium duty and heavy duty models are used in warehousing, shipping/receiving, and automotive service industries. Industrial shelves tend to pay for themselves in a relatively short amount of time. By converting unused space into storage areas, they reduce the likelihood that an organization will have to spend money on relocation or an expansion. They also make it much easier for workers to access products and supplies and expedite process flow safely and efficiently.

Different industrial shelf systems are used for different types of environments. 18 gauge and 20 gauge closed back industrial shelves will easily support 400-450 lbs in weight and are commonly used for storing boxes in stockrooms. Smaller, open-backed shelves and other used commercial shelving are utilized used by office managers to store important documents, tax work, and office supplies. Larger industrial shelves can hold up to 2,000 pounds in weight and are used for medium level storage of heavier crates and machine parts.

When choosing industrial shelving units, keep three things in mind:
  1. The first thing to keep in mind is safety. When storing extremely heavy items and large containers, always invest in shelving whose weight capacity exceeds the total weight of items. Maxing out a brand new shelving system is never a good idea. A worker probably will not be aware of that a shelf already contains all it can handle and inadvertently add additional weight beyond safe limits.
  2. The second thing to keep in mind is accessibility. If workers need to retrieve items from the front of the shelf only, closed back industrial shelving offer a sturdy, cabinet like design build for stability and security (the units can be shut and locked at night if necessary). If the materials that are stored are not that sensitive, or if workers need to access them from any angle at will, open ended systems work well for this task.
  3. Keep perspective in mind as well. The dimensions of a shelf are not true indicators of the actual interior, usable storage space. To make certain every square cubic inch pays you back for your investment, talk to your material handling specialist about usable storage space, weight capacity, accessibility, and methods of ensuring the unit remains stable and secure in every conceivable scenario.
Easy Rack sells a full selection of small, mid-sized, and heavy duty steel industrial warehouse shelving systems. We sell both new equipment and used equipment, including long span units that can run along an entire warehouse wall. If cost is an issue, we recommend investing in used equipment.

Steel Shelving

Used commercial steel shelves transform interior walls and vertical air space into organized, safe, efficient storage space. The improvement this consolidation brings to organizations facing an imminent move is often leads to the move being canceled and a large amount of money being saved. Additional savings come soon afterwards as employees find materials and supplies faster and finish their jobs in less time. Keeping accurate tabs on inventory becomes easier, which in turn averts over purchasing and often uncovers opportunities for tax breaks.

Easy rack steel shelves are manufactured from the highest commercial grade steel and can be ordered in either new or used condition. Steel shelves of this caliber will withstand extreme temperatures and sudden climatic changes in any region of the country. Commercial grade metal protectors further ensure that shelving systems withstand the elements any time the bay doors to warehouses are open and units become exposed to the outside air.

Industrial clients can obtain steel shelving systems in a number of different strengths, sizes, and design builds to accommodate any factory, warehouse, storage room, office, or even retail facility.

Open-backed shelving
As the name indicates, there an open-backed shelf is either open to the air or an adjacent wall. It is made from a steel frame that supports the individual shelves. The strength of an open-backed system is determined by the gauge of steel from which it is constructed. Larger, industrial strength units are used to store boxes and crates that require immediate access from the front, back, or sides of the shelf. Smaller shelving units are often used in to store bins containing office supplies or files of paperwork for inventory and tax purposes.

Closed-backed shelving
These steel shelves are closed on both sides and the back by steel plates. The entire unit can be closed shut and locked together for security purposes, or it can be opened and pushed against a wall. Closed back steel shelves units companies the stability of a design very similar to a cabinet but with much greater resistance to wear and tear and a much greater capacity to support heavy loads.

Both open-backed systems and closed-back systems are powder-coated with iron phosphate and painted with baked on enamel that prevents corrosion and buffers them against occasional collisions. These shelving units can also be used to build industrial shelving systems by bolting the bottom of one unit to the top of another with adjustable clips. This form of customization is known as “box shelving” and can create storage systems that can support up to 2,000 pounds in weight.

Long-Span & Wide-Span Shelving
These are the heaviest duty steel shelving systems found in the industrial world. They are designed extra long and can be connected together end-to-end to transform an entire factory or warehouse wall into storage space.

Wide span and long span shelves are made from 24-gauge steel and are designed to support up to 35,000 lbs. in weight. Surprisingly, though, they are not always used for heavy-duty storage. Many auto parts stores, tire an lube service centers, and hardware stores often use wide span units to store products, paperwork, reference materials, and product manuals behind the front counter.

Wide span shelves are supported by steel beams built around a two-piece design that increases the unit’s center of gravity and enables it to support a greater amount of weight without tipping or buckling from normal use or even the occasional accidental impact.

Steel Warehouse Shelving, Long Span Shelf Units, Warehouse Pallet Storage Racking and Widespan Shelving at Discount Prices.

Steel Warehouse Shelving can transform areas along interior walls and portions of your facility’s vertical cube from wasted space to highly organized, reliable storage space. Both Industrial steel warehouse shelves and long-span/ wide-span units can be interconnected to create steel shelving systems specific to the dimensions of your individual facility.

Easy Rack offers you two major advantages over competing vendors in this arena. We supply both used and new steel shelves, and we will both install and assemble a custom steel shelving system in any facility, anywhere in the United States.

Two of our most popular and highly effective shelving options are as follows:

Industrial Metal Warehouse Shelving:
Steel warehouse shelves can be bolted from bottom to top with adjustable clips that create shelving units and shelving systems capable of supporting up to 2,000 pounds of material. This is often called “box shelving” and allows you to customize (or have Easy Rack customize for you) your industrial metal steel shelving storage system specific to your floor space and warehouse interior ceiling height.

All Easy Rack steel used shelves for warehousing are coated with two protective substances to ensure corrosion free longevity and maximized impact resistance. Warehouse units are treated with iron phosphate and painted with baked on enamel. These layers of protection see to it that your steel shelves last for years and maintain optimal strength and support capabilities in spite of normal wear and tear.

Warehouse industrial shelves can be ordered in either open-backed versions or close-back versions. Open-back models offer more rapid access to materials, whereas close-backed models offer more stability, support, and security for sensitive supplies.

Long-Span & Wide-Span Steel Warehouse Shelving (Rivet Rack Shelves)
These long span steel shelving units are build extra long and are designed to support up to 35,000 pounds of weight. Like warehouse shelves, they can be connected together using self-locking connector clips that make the assembly of your shelving system easy and time-efficient.

Widespan steel shelving units are built from 24-gauge steel shelving that is finished in baked enamel to preserve structural integrity and unit longevity. The beams feature high strength steel construction that utilizes a two-piece design that increases the unit’s center of gravity, enables it to hold enormous amounts of weight, and helps make it more impact resistant to collision.

Tax codes classify multi-tier mezzanine shelving systems as equipment, not real estate.

Are you running out of room? Are you considering moving your business?

Many companies are facing the same shortages of storage space and are considering the possibility of either relocating or building a new facility. Have you considered the benefits that mezzanine shelving systems offer as a cost-effective and highly efficient alternative to relocating?


Mezzanine system shelving allow for conversion of unused vertical air space into safe, efficient storage areas for a fraction of the cost of the move. Mezzanine shelves also offer a number of direct and indirect economic perks to facilities owners. Mezzanine shelving systems provide an incredible level of safety fully compliant with regulatory codes and offer a high level of adaptability to any number of industrial and warehousing environments.

Just as time is money, space is overhead. Floor space limitations not only limit the amount of equipment and materials owners can house within the facility, but they can also create safety issues such as trip and fall hazards when things become too closely packed together. Owners often immediately consider a move when space becomes limited not only to accommodate inventory and operations, but also to ensure a safe working environment. The cost of moving, however, is enormous for industrial facilities. On the other hand, investing in mezzanine system shelving requires only a fraction of the cost of moving and increases available storage space 100-150 percent on the average. Adding mezzanine shelving to existing floor space eliminates months, and in some cases, years, of waiting for a new building to be finished. By expanding upward, the mezzanine shelving converts the unused vertical airspace above the facility floor into solid, safe, quickly accessible storage areas. Expanded and new facilities will naturally consume more energy to light, heat, and cool. Mezzanine shelving prevents this increased overhead by utilizing existing heat, light, and cooling systems. Operations managers responsible for eliminated cost of operations should especially consider the energy-savings benefits when calculating quarterly and annual operations budgets.

Tax codes classify multi-tier mezzanine shelving systems as equipment, not real estate. As expanding a facility or building a larger plant will obviously place you in a higher property tax bracket, converting vertical space with a mezzanine system minimizes property tax increase and offers depreciation tax breaks associated with equipment. This again further reduces overhead and allows operations to increase profits through lowered expenditures. The versatility offered by these systems offers a variety of options in almost any facility. Mezzanine shelving assemble as easily as standard shelving and provide storage, staging, workspace, and even office space. All steel components of the system, including heavy-duty columns designed for industrial loading capacity, come pre-fabricated from the manufacturer and require no drilling or welding. Owners can choose from a number of stairs, steel or concrete decks, and handrails to ensure full code compliance for particular geographic areas and specific industries. The mezzanine railing system combines the guidance of a handrail with the protective barrier of a wire partition. It fully complies with all OSHA and BOCA safety regulations and offers the very best protection against slip and fall hazards. Prevention of accidents further reduces cost of liability or workman's compensation and insurance premium hikes resulting from mishaps.

Because of the way mezzanine systems assemble, they offer a flexibility that allows for change in size and location as your industry evolves and your facility adapts in response. They can be moved or enlarged at will, allowing for multiple upgrades and minimizing any need for replacement. As customized and highly reliable pieces of equipment, we can design them specifically for you current needs and any future changes you foresee. Call us today and let us help you design the very best safe, reliable, and cost-effective shelving system for you.

Contact us today at 713-553-1122 and let us help you find exactly what you need to make your organization grow. We offer many commercial and industrial supplies including new and used pallet racks, material handling equipment and commercial warehouse and industrial lighting.
