What are Static Shelving Systems?
Static shelving systems are, as the name suggests, shelving units designed to stay in place. Static shelving systems take many forms, from lightweight garage shelving through library shelving, to warehouse pallet racking and everything in-between. Static shelving systems consist of double-sided gondolas, single-sided static shelving units and wall units. These units in turn consist of either fixed or adjustable shelves to adapt to your changing needs.

Static Shelving Systems for Libraries
The design and fit-out of libraries is a particular specialism of Rackline. Anywhere there is a large collection of literature, there needs to be logistical planning in how each can be found and viewed. Within these environments, accessibility is the priority, for both visitors and staff.
Rackline library projects combine static shelving systems with specialised storage solutions to optimise public facing, and back of house spaces. Shelving is designed to the dimensions of the book stock the library holds, and designed for easy categorisation and labelling. This final step ensures that records are easier to maintain, and books are kept in a highly organised manner.

Shelving Systems Gallery
Below are a selection of examples of installations using our Static Shelving Systems. From light weight Archives. to heavy duty, high density stores.
Profile – Single Skin
Profile metal Shelving Systems are designed as a closed modular construction where the intermediate uprights support the shelves in the adjoining bays. This design ensures there are no sharp edges to the upright, no possibility of stock migrating from bay to bay or becoming trapped behind upright posts.
The appearance is intended to meet the needs of your storage environment and the high grade steel with modified epoxy powder coated paint provides an extremely hard wearing and attractive finish.
Proform – Double Skin Shelving
The Proform metal shelving systems are designed with a double panel upright to provide total protection to the contents of the shelf.
With no protrusions, edges, or raised seams, even precious manuscripts and rare books are well cared for. It also means that when shelves are pitched asymmetrically, the shelf clips will not protrude into the adjoining aperture.
Prospan – Post Systems
Quite simply, Prospan metal shelving systems are designed to extend beyond the sizes of Profile and Proform and yet retain the aesthetics that are sometimes lost with traditional long span shelving systems.
The Prospan system can be specified in lengths between 340mm and 1600mm wide and up to 4500mm in height with a capacity spread load per shelf of 125kgs. Normally for these performance parameters Long span shelving is specified resulting in higher cost. Also most Long span installations up to 2000mm long need supporting beams. These reduce the aperture of the shelf thus reducing capacity.
Pro-Libero Library Shelving
Pro-Libero metal library shelving systems are equipped with a double skin upright that conceals all fixings that support the structure of the system. The shelving is designed as a ‘braceless system’, so the back to back bays have no bracing or solid back for support, instead of this a hidden framework adds the required structure to the unit. This provides a clean, seamless look.
The overall look of the system is clean and flush, as well as offering maximum storage options and through- bay storage capabilities.
Widespan Shelving Systems
Widespan is a longspan metal shelving system which offers the facility of either steel or chipboard shelves on spans up to 2.7 metres. Supported by either open or closed end frames, Widespan can be easily adapted to two-tier or high bay installations.
With a wide range of beam profiles, easily adjustable shelf levels and a smooth front face Widespan is both attractive and fully versatile and suitable for use in archives, museums, industry, health and retail.
