Advanced Warehouse Structures offers two exceptional shelving options: long span shelving and R.E.T. shelving.

Longspan Shelving: Perfect for Storing Light-Duty Small Goods
When it comes to light-duty goods, small items and stock, longspan shelving is a go-to choice. These shelves are versatile in height and length, meaning you can find the perfect layout for your warehouse. It’s an ideal choice for efficient stock picking, especially for small- to medium-sized products. Well-designed longspan shelving made from high-quality materials is a versatile and indispensable asset for a variety of warehousing businesses.

These shelving systems can improve the workflow and productivity of warehouses, factories, stores and a number of similar businesses. R.E.T. shelving systems are also made from durable materials, such as robust metal or steel.

Choosing the Right Shelving Solution
Are you still wondering what shelving system best suits your warehouse layout? When it comes to the choice between longspan shelving and R.E.T. shelving, it all depends on your specific warehousing needs and warehouse space. If you’re dealing with light-duty small goods and need versatility in your storage options, longspan shelving is the way to go. On the other hand, if you’re primarily storing small items and require an efficient pick-face system, R.E.T. shelving is the ideal solution.
To choose the best storage addition, it’s crucial to assess your inventory and equipment, understand your daily operational requirements, and consider your available space. Advanced Warehouse Structures is here to provide you with tailored advice and shelving solutions that best suit your needs.
