Good shelving and storage isn’t just a nice-to-have – it keeps things ticking, whether you’re at work or sorting out the chaos in your shed. Without decent shelving, you’re looking at wasted space, tripping hazards and constant frustration. The right setup, whether it’s pallet racking for heavy palletised loads, garage shelving for tools and gear or heavy-duty shelving for industrial materials, gets rid of the mess and keeps everything where it should be.
What Problems Can Shelving Systems Solve?
Storage and shelving systems tackle common storage headaches by making the most of both vertical and horizontal space. Pallet racking handles big, heavy items in warehouses, while garage shelving is perfect for keeping tools and boxes off the floor and within reach. For serious weight, heavy-duty shelving locks it all down securely. These systems cut clutter, improve safety and protect your gear from damage. Whether you’re running a business or organising at home, good shelving gets the job done right.
What is Pallet Racking and Why is it Useful?
Pallet racking is a tough, robust and practical shelving system built for storing materials on pallets. It’s a go-to for warehouses and businesses dealing with big loads or handling large quantities or bulk inventory. This setup makes the most of your space by stacking vertically, using that overhead room you’d otherwise waste while creating neat, organised rows horizontally for easy access. You’ll store more in less space, keep things tidy and free up the floor for other work. Plus, it helps reduce accidents, keeps your products safe from damage and adapts easily as your storage needs shift.
If you’re after reliable pallet racking for your warehouse, workshop or outdoor storage, our APEX Selective Pallet Racking is the way to go. Designed and engineered in Australia, it’s tough, durable and fully compliant with the latest Australian racking code AS4084-2023. This racking is built to handle everything from bulk stock to heavy pallets, making it perfect for businesses looking to maximise space and streamline operations. With a range of sizes, beams and frame grades, it’s easy to tailor the setup to suit your needs.
What is Garage Shelving and How Can It Help?
Garage shelving is made for home garages and workshops, keeping your tools, gear and supplies tidy and easy to grab. It keeps your workspace safer, more organised and a whole lot easier to work in.
Garage shelving is available in heavy-duty racking or longspan shelving versions. Similar to pallet racking but more compact, they’re built for tighter spaces and are perfect for storing storage boxes, smaller parts and tools – anything that’s easy to lift on and off by hand.
Our workbenches are tough, quick to set up and fit neatly into tight areas. The Global Rack 4-tier workbench pairs perfectly with pallet racking, using the same posts and beams but in smaller sizes and thicknesses. Built strong with pre-galvanised frames, powder-coated beams and 18mm particle board shelves, it gives you solid upper levels for storing tools and gear, plus a strong work surface below.
Easy to assemble and customisable with extras like louvre panels or parts bins, it’s a practical, reliable choice for any garage or workshop.
The 2-tier and 4-tier longspan workbenches are just as practical, offering space-saving just like the rack workbenches. Powder-coated in dark grey and designed in shorter lengths, they’re great for compact areas. Easy to assemble and customisable with louvre panels or parts bins, they’re a solid addition to any garage or workshop.
What is Heavy-Duty Shelving and When is it Necessary?
If you’re dealing with heavy gear like tools, equipment or industrial materials, heavy-duty shelving is a no-brainer. Built tough with solid steel frames and load capacities to handle serious weight, it’s made to keep everything safe, organised and easy to grab when you need it. Look for shelves with adjustable heights, so you can fit all kinds of bulky items, and check the weight limits to make sure it’ll handle everything you need to store.
Apex Longspan Shelving is a great option for heavy-duty, adaptable storage. With load capacities reaching 450kg per shelf and options for chipboard, mesh decks or galvanised panels, it’s built to easily handle heavy, awkward and bulky materials. You can find a fit to suit your space, with standard heights ranging from 900mm to 4,000mm and depths up to 1,200mm. Need something specific? We can tailor a setup to fit your needs.
Conclusion
When it comes to keeping your space safe, organised and running smoothly, the right shelving makes all the difference. Pallet racking is a powerhouse for heavy loads and bulk inventory, garage shelving keeps tools and gear tidy in tight spaces, and heavy-duty shelving handles industrial materials with ease.
