Industrial Shelving

Industrial shelving consists of a framework of supports and shelves used to hold and display goods. Industrial shelving units optimize space by stacking goods horizontally, over the length of a shelf, or on a number of vertically arranged shelves. These various configurations of industrial shelving units allow inventory to be displayed in an organized manner. Industrial shelving units can hold an endless assortment of objects and are used in many different settings.

Industrial shelving comes in a variety of designs; these designs differ most significantly by the material of which they are made and the dimensions of the unit. Industrial shelving is generally constructed of hard metals like steel or aluminum, but it can also be made of plastic or wood. Relevant dimensions of industrial shelving units include the height, length, and depth of the unit, as well as its weight capacity.

Industrial shelving is available with many special features. If specified, industrial shelving units can be fireproof, heavy-duty, mobile, or chemical resistant.
