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.
