0203 764 9380Keeping your warehouse organised and in tip-top shape is one of the biggest challenges warehouse managers face. And for those with a small distribution centre, storage space can often be almost non-existent. You need something that can handle a heavy load while offering more storage and maximising your warehouse space. So what’s the solution? Industrial heavy duty shelving, of course!
Tufferman supplies a range of shelving that has been specially designed for warehousing and industrial storage. Most of our metal shelving is made from high-grade European steel and thick chipboard, while others are crafted from melamine. Melamine is a smooth finish that can easily be wiped clean, making it suitable for warehouses that stock products that can leak or spill. Chipboard on the other hand has a rough finish, suitable for stock that won’t damage shelves with messy leaks. Although, chipboard is perfectly suitable for products or stock that won’t leave a mess.
All heavy duty shelving also has multiple support beams. The result? A shelving solution that offers superior rigidity and strength - as well as a prolonged life. Browse our range of shelving options here.
Looking for some shelving options for your warehouse, but not sure where to start? We can help. Read on to discover new warehouse organisation ideas with heavy duty shelving.
Does your warehouse need heavy duty shelving?
If your workplace is experiencing a high number of accidents, despite implementing safety guidelines, you might want to consider shelving to get your warehouse in order. Lack of space or lack of organisation in your warehouse can cause accidents. Packaging, boxes and supplies quickly accumulate becoming a potential tripping hazard for staff and/or machinery.
If your warehouse team is having trouble labelling and identifying the products you’re storing, it might be time to install some more shelving. Storing your products and supplies in an orderly manner will improve operational efficiency as people are able to locate exactly what they need when they need it.
What to look for in heavy duty shelving
Weight capacity
Your warehouse is busy - hauling in stock, dragging it back out again, and everything in between. You need shelving that can withstand the pressure.
Our Storalex SX range of metal shelving offers load per shelf (UDL) from 200kg up to 800kg. How can they hold so much? Because of the way they’re made - from high grade, powder-coated, European steel and single upright construction. This makes them very strong, long-lasting and durable.
Product guarantees
What’s worse than not having the proper storage solution for your warehouse? Installing shelving that breaks within a few days. That’s why you need shelving that will cover you in case of any unseen accidents.
For extra peace of mind, our heavy duty shelving units are covered by the Storalex 5 Year Guarantee - a British brand that's synonymous with quality.
Compliance with safety standards
Check if your new shelving meets safety and quality standards to ensure that your warehouse remains a safe place to work.
All of Tufferman’s shelving has been rigorously tested to strict European Federation of Material Handling (FEM) standards, as well as the ISO 9001 quality requirements.
