WHAT TYPE OF METAL SHELVING IS THE BEST FOR YOUR SET UP?

POSTED IN: Pallet Racking & Shelving 05/22/2020

No matter what type of business you operate, space is always at a premium. No one wants to waste money for additional square footage when there are solutions that can help them maximize what they have. Metal shelving units are one of the ways a business can maximize its space. These shelving units provide you with solutions that are efficient and mobile.

BENEFITS OF METAL SHELVING UNITS

Metal shelving units provide a business with a plethora of benefits. The primary one is that these shelves are mobile. In most instances, they do not have to be anchored to a wall via brackets, which makes the shelving easy to move to a location where it is more functional. Another perk is that they are easy to assemble. These freestanding units are not difficult to put together or break down. There are also multiple sizes and configurations available to meet your needs, as shelving is not one size fits all.

The material used in these shelving units is another benefit. Standard shelves are made of particle board. This material is made from wood shavings and sawdust, is extremely dense, and sturdy. Should you need to replace the shelves, particle board is also quite low in cost.

If you would prefer something different, or your shelving will be holding heavier products, you have a wide range of choices for your materials—including metal. Consider where the shelving unit will be used while making this selection.

METAL SHELVING UNITS HELP SAVE SPACE

No company wants to pay more money than needed for its business space. Metal shelving helps companies make the most of their existing vertical space by maximizing it via shelving. A business has the option to move shelving units to where they feel they are the most useful. If the location needs changes, your shelving can adapt.

Metal shelving can also be open on all sides. This means you can use both the front and the back of a shelf for storage. With mounted shelves, you lose the ability to use one side of the shelf as it is attached to the wall.

WHERE ARE METAL SHELVING UNITS USEFUL?

Many companies can benefit from using metal shelving units in the business. This kind of shelving is a staple in warehouses and storage rooms. That type of environment needs sturdy shelving, and metal will hold up to the elements in an industrial warehouse. Another location that benefits from metal shelving is file archive rooms. These units can be adjusted to fit file box sizes used by your company.
