What is Static Shelving?
Static shelves are, as the name suggests, shelving units designed to stay in place. Static shelving takes many forms, from light weight garage shelves through library shelving, to warehouse pallet racking and everything in-between. Static shelving consists 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.

Advantages Of Rackline Static Storage
High Strength
Unlike many other types of shelving, Rackline’s static shelves are manufactured from Steel, are exceptionally strong and can support heavy loads.
Adjustable
You or your staff can easily use and adjust our static shelves, they don’t require experts to help with their relocation or fitting.
Flexible Setup
Rackline’s static shelves can be arranged to suit your needs, from long and short aisles to U-shaped to fit your needs.
Eye-Catching
Our static shelving systems are powder coated with robust coatings. This means they are available in colours to suit your home or brand. Why not choose vibrant colours and combinations to show off the contents and attract people to them?
Depths to Suit your Needs
Choose shelves with depths to suit your items. The depths of our fixed metal shelving solutions vary considerably, we have supplied systems with up to two feet of depth. As we’re the manufacturer we can adapt shelving dimensions to suit any larger items you may want to store.
Using Static Metal Shelving in Libraries
Wherever there is a large collection of books, there needs to be logistical planning in how each can be viewed and found easily by anyone who visits. If a reader comes into a public library to find a book, accessibility must be considered and prioritised.
In projects we’ve worked on, using static shelving combines storage solutions in a manner which optimises space perfectly. Each book easily fits into a specified slot and can be used as and when needed. The nature of static storage means that categorising books and proper labelling systems are possible. As the books are well distributed in slots and categories, records are easier to maintain and you can keep the books in a highly organised manner. Static shelving in libraries help to make stocking and finding more convenient.

Profile – Single Skin
Profile metal shelving has been 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
Proform metal shelving has been 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 is designed to extend beyond the sizes of Profile and Proform and yet retain the aesthetic looks 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 has a double skin upright that conceals all fixings which 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 System
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.

With a wide range of size options available, Speedrax is a low cost option for all your storage needs. Shelves can be easily adjusted to accommodate changing requirements and offer unrestricted access from all sides.
