Differences exist even among shelves, and they are significant, in order to choose the model that best suits your needs, and to design a warehouse that is perfectly safe and legal.
So here is a simple and basic differentiation between the main categories of shelving; light, heavy and very heavy.
LIGHT SHELVING: light shelving are designed for commercial use, in archives or storage areas, in different types: cantilever shelves, single-level shelving, shelving with longitudinal or transverse shelves.
HEAVY AND INDUSTRIAL SHELVING: designed for industrial use, this type of shelving includes cantilevers, drive in, drive through and pallet racking.
VERY HEAVY SHELVING: designed for use in warehouses that store sheet metal or metal coils, with a load capacity between 5 t and 20 t per shelf.
