Warehouse Shelving
Warehouse Shelving Solutions for the Trade
QTS supplies warehouse shelving systems for storage projects where goods are manually loaded, picked and handled. Our range includes longspan and shortspan shelving for cartons, tools, parts, components, consumables and picking stock across warehouses, stockrooms, workshops and mezzanine spaces.
Whether you are specifying shelving for a new storage area, extending an existing system or sourcing additional components, our trade team can help identify a suitable solution for the project.
Warehouse Shelving Systems for Hand-Loaded Storage
Warehouse shelving is designed for goods that are manually loaded and picked rather than stored on pallets and handled using forklift equipment.
The right shelving system will depend on the size and weight of the products, available space, picking frequency, access requirements and how stock needs to be organised. QTS supports distributors, integrators and storage professionals with shelving systems for picking areas, stockrooms, workshops, maintenance stores and mezzanine spaces.
Shelving can be supplied as a standalone storage solution or used alongside pallet racking where a warehouse contains both palletised goods and smaller hand-picked stock.

Choosing the Right Warehouse Shelving System
The most suitable warehouse shelving system will depend on the goods being stored and how the storage area needs to operate.
Longspan shelving is generally used for wider, bulkier or irregular hand-loaded products that require larger shelf spans.
Shortspan shelving is better suited to smaller parts, tools, consumables and boxed goods that need to be clearly organised within a more compact space.
Some warehouse projects may require a combination of both systems. QTS can help trade customers assess product sizes, loads, available space and picking requirements before selecting an appropriate shelving configuration.
