Guide to Heavy Duty Shelving

Rapid 1 is the original boltless shelving introduced to the UK shelving market by Rapid Racking over 30 years ago. This industrial shelving is ideal for use in various environments such as warehouses, factories, and stockrooms.

5 ways to get more out of your Heavy-Duty Shelving

Whether it’s a commercial warehouse, a home garage, or a manufacturing environment, heavy-duty shelving provides the strength, durability, and flexibility needed to handle a wide range of items. But beyond simply using these shelves to store items, there are numerous ways you can optimise your shelving unit.

How to pick the best shelving material

It is important to choose the right shelving material for your storage solutions and environment because different materials have different strength and durability properties, making them suitable for specific uses and environments.

Rapid 1 is the original boltless shelving. Renowned for its durability and strength, it is our strongest boltless shelving system out of all our commercial shelving holding up to 800kg per shelf.

As a hand loaded system designed to withstand frequent daily use, Rapid 1 shelving, amongst our other shelving units, is tested to FEM standards. This is a comprehensive load testing process on shelving bays and racking runs to replicate heavy industrial use in a variety of environments including warehouses, factories and stockrooms.

With adjustable boltless shelves, it means your Rapid 1 shelf heights can be changed according to the size of the items you’re storing, or additional shelves can be fitted if required. Rapid 1 is our bestselling boltless shelving system thanks to its versatility; whether for production areas, archive storage or damp environments, Rapid 1 shelving has a variety of finishes to suit it’s application. From standard powder coated steel, to a galvanised finish.

Our wide selection of shelf materials provide a variety of benefits to suit specific requirements too; from economical chipboard, wipe-clean melamine, and robust galvanised to ventilated wire mesh – Rapid 1 can be completely reconfigured to your business needs.

It doesn’t stop there, we supply a huge range of shelving accessories to fully customise your shelving including cantilever shelves which are ideal for end of aisle temporary storage, and retaining hoops for storage of maintenance products such as ladders, brooms and piping. Finally, if you need to create a run of shelving bays, you can safely join bays together with tie plates or add extra stability to your shelving with any of our floor fixings. Additionally, we offer more versatile shelving as well as light-duty shelving.
