When it comes to storing your goods in a warehouse environment, a commercial warehouse shelving systems is one of the best solutions available. Most business owners are non-pulsed in the difference between shelving and racking and know the benefits of each, but the use of shelving can make a huge difference for a storage facility and the staff productivity on a day to day basis.

What is Commercial Shelving?

For a warehouse, many items fly through to varying sizes. Whilst most can take up an entire space within pallet racking bays, smaller more compact items are suited to something smaller and easier to pick from.

Commercial shelving is used for smaller hand-picked items from boxes, drums and larger cartons that are wasted on larger bays. This shelving can be made from steel or other materials in a variety of heights, widths and lengths and don’t have to be stationed on the warehouse floor. The ability to move these into more compact rooms creates a great separation from main warehouse operations and allows for a more productive workflow where smaller items are not being picked in larger aisles and holding up the workflow for forklifts and such.

Storage on Commercial Shelving

With these smaller items, it is much more ideal to store them on their own shelving away from the hustle and bustle of your business. If you have certain products that are an odd shape, are more fragile stock or are bulkier than other stock it is around – commercial shelving is the perfect solution for storage needs.

Products such as batteries, tyres, office supplies and long pipes are among the many stock products that are ideal scenarios for commercial shelving. The ability to have them safely secured and stored in an area more suited to their needs provides your workforce with time spared searching for ambler items in aisles and able to pick them easily.

Versatility

The biggest advantage of commercial shelving is its versatility, allowing you to store multiple items of differing shapes and sizes into one area, although sure not to overload them or store everything in the centre of the shelving without distributing the weight accordingly.

Depending on your specific requirements, more bespoke commercial shelving can be provided and give immediate access to all unit loads. Commercial shelving is a great way of utilising all available storage space and is fast and easy to assemble to get to work.

Specialists

Depending on your requirements, it is always advised to discuss with your supplier exactly how the shelving will be intended for use. This will best determine the kind of shelving system and whether any special reinforcement is required to better protect your shelving.
