Long Span Shelving—Heavy-Duty Storage Without Pallets

Strong, adjustable shelving for boxes, cartons, bins and parts where a forklift isn’t needed. Quick to reconfigure, built to last, and installed around your operation. Owner-led delivery from consultation through installation.

Why Long Span Shelving Works

  • Handles real warehouse loads — steel frames and beams rated for heavier items than retail shop shelving.

  • Adjustable and modular — change shelf heights in minutes; add bays as you grow.

  • Three deck options — steel, mesh, or timber to suit stock, sprinkler performance, and budget.

  • Faster picking, better organisation — clear access for hand-picking with tidy labelling and easy rotation.

  • NZ compliant — designed and installed to AS 4084:2023 with load ratings signed and documented.

Typical Specs 

  • Heights up to 3m

  • Depths from 450–1200mm

  • Beam spans from 900–2400mm

  • Decking: steel panels, wire mesh, or timber boards

  • Add-ons: dividers, bin fronts, anti-spill lips, back stops where needed

We’ll confirm exact capacities per level and bay once we know your loads and preferred spans.

  • Parts and spares (MRO) rooms

  • We were in the market for a vertical storage rack. After contacting and discussing our needs, Elite Racking made a site visit to ensure their solution would meet our needs. After viewing the location and needs a couple of additional suggestions were made, which we adopted. Order placed, and delivery was earlier than expected which was great allowing us to complete the workshop setup. Very pleased with solution and delivery. Will be using Elite Racking again.

From the offset, they listened to our needs, designed a solution tailored to our specific freight profile, and managed the whole installation process, allowing us to remain focused on our day to day business. The quality of the racking is excellent, the installation laser perfect and the project came in on budget – I highly recommend Gavin, Zach and the team at Elite Racking.
