INDUSTRIAL SHELVING
SUPPLY & INSTALLATION UK
UM Storage Systems supplies and installs industrial shelving systems for warehouses, stockrooms, workshops, offices, and retail environments across the United Kingdom. From lightweight boltless shelving for a stockroom to heavy-duty longspan systems for a busy distribution centre, we provide the right shelving solution at the right price.
WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL SHELVING?
Industrial shelving refers to robust, commercial-grade storage systems designed for hand-loading rather than pallet-loading. Unlike pallet racking (which stores goods on pallets accessed by forklifts), shelving systems are designed for manual picking, parts storage, archive filing, and retail display.
Industrial shelving is essential for businesses that need to organise large volumes of smaller items efficiently. It is commonly used in warehouses, workshops, retail stockrooms, garages, offices, schools, hospitals, and government buildings. The right shelving system can dramatically improve workflow, reduce picking times, and create a safer, more organised working environment.
At UM Storage Systems, we work with businesses across Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, London, Leeds, and every other major UK city to design and install shelving solutions that maximise storage capacity within your available floor space.
TYPES OF INDUSTRIAL SHELVING WE SUPPLY
We stock and install a complete range of shelving systems to suit every application and budget.
Longspan Shelving
The workhorse of warehouse storage. Longspan shelving bridges the gap between light-duty shelving and pallet racking, offering wide bays (up to 2700mm) with chipboard, steel, or mesh decking. Perfect for bulky items, boxed goods, and hand-picked stock. Load capacities up to 500kg per shelf level.
Heavy-Duty Boltless Shelving
Quick-assembly shelving that requires no nuts, bolts, or specialist tools. Ideal for stockrooms, garages, and workshops. Available in galvanised or powder-coated finishes with load ratings from 150kg to 400kg per shelf.
Stockroom & Retail Shelving
Clean, professional shelving for retail backrooms, shops, and commercial premises. Available in a range of colours and configurations including wall-mounted, gondola, and freestanding units.
Archive & Document Shelving
Designed for storing files, boxes, and documents in offices, legal practices, and government buildings. Available in standard and mobile configurations to maximise floor space in archive rooms.
Hazardous Material (COSHH) Shelving
Specialist shelving with sump trays for storing chemicals, oils, paints, and other hazardous materials in compliance with COSHH regulations. Essential for workshops and manufacturing facilities.
