Steel Shelving for High-Capacity Commercial Storage

Steel shelving is a durable, high-capacity storage solution, perfect for warehouses and commercial spaces. With adjustable shelves and reinforced steel frames, these units support heavy tools, machinery, and bulk inventory.

As one of the most versatile types of industrial shelving, steel units are designed to increase storage capacity, streamline organization, and optimize floor space. These shelves are especially useful in environments where equipment, inventory, or parts need to be accessed quickly without sacrificing strength or reliability.

Whether used as a standalone setup or combined with add-on bays and modular clips, steel shelving helps maximize efficiency in any storage layout.

Pallet Rack Shelving for Bulk and High-Volume Inventory

For large-scale warehouse storage, industrial pallet rack shelving integrates with pallet racking systems to maximize floor space and streamline inventory management. Designed to support bulk storage and heavy loads, it’s ideal for high-volume distribution centers and storage environments where weight capacity is critical.

These systems help businesses make better use of vertical storage, improving both accessibility and retrieval speed. Whether you're managing pallets of goods or oversized items, pallet rack shelving provides a scalable solution with unmatched durability and performance.

When paired with add-on components like pallet supports or beam reinforcements, they become a customizable backbone for any large storage operation.

Wall-Mounted and Drawer Shelving for Organized, Space-Saving Storage

Maximize vertical space with industrial wall shelves, a great option for lightweight tools, supplies, and commercial storage. Wall-mounted shelving is perfect for garages, workshops, and offices where floor space is limited. These shelves keep essential items off the ground and within easy reach, improving workflow without adding clutter.

For businesses that need better small parts storage, industrial shelving with drawers offers secure compartments for tools, fasteners, and maintenance supplies. These drawer units improve workplace efficiency by organizing high-touch items in a way that’s both accessible and protected.

Together, wall shelves and drawer systems provide a flexible storage solution that supports daily operations while adapting to different facility needs.

Industrial Shelving Units

Industrial shelving units combine adjustable shelf spacing, reinforced uprights, and boltless assembly to deliver fast deployment and reliable strength. Choose open or closed backs, wire or solid decks, and add-on bays to scale storage as your operation grows.

High load capacity shelves with clip or boltless connections
Modular add-ons extend rows without rework
Compatible with bins, drawers, dividers, and label systems
Ideal for MRO, kitting, small parts, and case goods

How to Store Heavy Molds with Die Racks

Die racks are purpose-built industrial shelving for storing heavy dies, molds, and tooling. Roll-out shelves pull forward to provide front access for hoists or cranes, reducing reach and improving changeover time. Gravity-flow configurations stage the next mold so it’s always ready to pick.

Roll-Out Die Racks: Sliding shelves with locking positions for safe loading and unloading
Gravity-Flow Die Racks: Inclined rails keep molds queued for efficient retrieval
Safety & Ergonomics: Front-access handling minimizes strain and improves visibility
Customization: Adjustable shelf centers, deck styles, stops, and end-guards

Placing die racks adjacent to presses or molding cells shortens travel distance, improves uptime, and keeps tooling organized at point-of-use.

High bay shelving storing library collection boxes accessed by overhead lift — Maximize vertical space, improve inventory access, and increase load capacity.

Industrial shelving increases storage capacity, streamlines organization, and optimizes floor space with taller, denser configurations that maintain accessibility.

Built for high weight capacities to hold tools, parts, or full pallets, these systems reduce retrieval times and improve operational flow. Components like compression clips, modular extensions, and pallet supports tailor layouts to evolving requirements.
