Light-Duty Warehouse Shelving — Rust-Resistant Storage Rack (Versatile Model for Home & Warehouse Use)

Custom made

Core Advantages

    Weight and assembly – Empty shelf weight per unit ranges from 12 to 25 kg, depending on dimensions. Shelves connect to uprights using clip-on or plug-in fittings, installable with a rubber mallet or by hand. No welding equipment or power tools required.

    Cost structure – Materials use cold-rolled steel sheet or tubing with a thickness of 0.5 to 0.8 mm. Each unit contains 8 to 12 connection points. Storage cost per unit volume is lower than that of heavy-duty shelving, suitable for budget-limited applications with lower load requirements.

    Vertical space utilization – Overall height ranges from 1200 to 2000 mm with 3 to 5 tiers. Storage capacity is increased by adding tiers rather than expanding the floor footprint.

    Access efficiency – Open front design provides unobstructed access. Shelf depth ranges from 300 to 500 mm. Operators can retrieve target items without moving other goods. Suitable for small items, case-packed lightweight goods, and miscellaneous product categorization.

Product Features

    Frame material – Cold-rolled steel sheet or tubing. Upright material thickness from 0.8 to 1.2 mm, shelf panel thickness from 0.5 to 0.8 mm.

    Surface finish – Electrostatic powder coating or hot-dip galvanizing. Coating thickness from 40 to 60 microns. Suitable for indoor environments with relative humidity not exceeding 80%.

    Rust treatment – Powder coating covers all exposed metal surfaces. Cut edges and bolt holes are pre-treated with anti-rust primer before shipment.

    Shelf panel types – Flat steel panels (perforated or solid), wire grid panels, or MDF laminated panels.

    Connection method – Uprights feature pre-punched slotted or round holes. Shelves attach via clip hooks or bolts. No on-site drilling required.

    Dimension range – Width from 600 to 1200 mm, depth from 300 to 500 mm, height from 1200 to 2000 mm.

    Number of tiers – 3 to 5 tiers, customized based on total height.

    Load per tier – 30 to 60 kg, evenly distributed.

    Adjustment increment – Shelf height is adjustable at 50 mm or 75 mm intervals.

    Floor requirement – Flat rigid surfaces (tile, concrete, wood flooring, laminate). No anchor bolts required.

    Accessory options – Dust covers, label holders, side panels, dividers.

Application Scenarios

    Waiting for shipment and packaging material storage in e-commerce fulfillment areas.

    Backroom reserve storage in convenience stores or small supermarkets.

    Toolboxes, household goods, and seasonal item storage in home garages, basements, or storage rooms.

    Document storage or office supply categorization in office environments.

    Lightweight component, mold, and spare part storage in small workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions and Precautions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the shelving require wall or floor anchoring?
A: For heights below 1800 mm with the center of gravity within the geometric center under full load, anchoring is not required. For heights exceeding 1800 mm or for use in seismic zones, wall attachment brackets are recommended to secure the top of the shelving to the wall.

Q: Does rust-resistant treatment mean the shelving can be used outdoors?
A: Standard electrostatic powder coating is intended for dry indoor environments. Hot-dip galvanized shelving can be used in sheltered outdoor settings (e.g., under a canopy) but should not be exposed to direct rain or high-salt atmospheres for extended periods.

Q: Can shelves withstand uneven load distribution?
A: The rated load assumes even distribution. When heavy items are concentrated at the center of the shelf panel, the actual safe load should be reduced to within 60% of the rated value.

Precautions

    Before assembly, inspect all shelf-to-upright clips for deformation. Deformed clips reduce connection strength.

    Do not exceed the rated load per tier. Overloading causes permanent sagging at the center of the shelf panel.

    When moving the shelving, remove all items from each tier or secure loose items with strapping to prevent falling during movement.

    Clean powder-coated surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid cleaners containing chlorine or abrasive particles.

    Inspect all bolted connections (for bolt-assembled types) or clip engagement (for clip-assembled types) every 3 months.

    For storage of acidic or alkaline items (e.g., detergents, fertilizers), place corrosion-resistant trays on shelf panels to prevent leakage damage to coatings.

    This shelving is not intended for bottled liquids or glassware, as it lacks anti-topple edge guards.
