Why High Density Cabinets and Heavy Duty Shelving Matter
Efficient storage solutions are about more than just putting things on a shelf or locking them away. For busy operations they must:
- Maximise use of floor and vertical space.
- Withstand industrial-level wear, load and usage.
- Offer flexibility and organisation so your team can access tools and parts quickly.
- Maintain safety and security when storing high-value or hazardous items.
By investing in the right combination of cabinets and shelving you gain smarter workflows, accurate picking, fewer lost items and better floor-space use.
High Density Cabinets — Key Features & Benefits
Our high density cabinets collection delivers storage that is compact, secure and robust. Features include:
- Heavy-duty construction with robust steel frames and drawer runners rated up to 120kg per drawer in some models.
- Full-extension drawers or configurable compartments to suit tools, parts, maintenance items or PPE.
- Smart space footprint: by going vertical and dense you reduce floor space required.
- Secure locking options and controlled access to reduce theft, loss or unauthorised use.
Typical use-cases:
- Workshops needing easy access to tools and parts in one unit.
- Maintenance stores where equipment must be locked securely but accessed easily.
- Warehouses aiming to store non-palletised items in a compact footprint.

Heavy Duty Shelving — Built for Real-World Load and Versatility
When you need shelving that can take the knocks, the load and the long hours, our Longspan shelving range is designed for the task. Features include:
- High bay load-rating: models able to support up to 4 tonnes (4000 kg) per bay and 600kg per shelf level in standard configurations.
- Zinc-plated steel construction prevents rust, corrosion and wear, suitable for harsh or varied environments.
- Modular design with adjustable shelves (holes every 50mm) for customised layouts and future re-configuration.
- Fast assembly and add-on bay support for growth or changing workflow.
Recommended environments:
- Warehouse picking aisles storing mixed large items or cartons.
- Industrial storerooms where equipment or heavy parts must be stored safely.
- Maintenance zones or garages where strong shelving is required for durability and longevity.
How to Choose the Right Combination for Your Facility
Selecting the correct cabinet or shelving system involves more than picking the largest or strongest unit. Consider these factors:
- Nature of items: Are you storing tools, parts, PPE, boxed stock or heavy components?
- Footprint and layout: How much floor space do you have? Do you need to go vertical to free floor space?
- Access frequency: Will items be accessed often, or are they long-term stock?
- Loading conditions: What weight, size and shape are the loads? Do you need fixed shelf positions or adjustable?
- Growth and flexibility: Will your storage needs change over time? Can you add bays or modify shelving/compartments?
- Safety and security: Do you need lockable cabinets for tools or high value items? Are loads heavy enough to require load-rated shelving?
By answering these questions you align the storage solution to your workflow, not the other way around.
