5.5m*1.8m*0.5m 1500KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving With Workstation

5.5m x 1.8m x 0.5m Standard‑Height Workstation Longspan Shelving 1500kg | Apple Shelving

This 5.5m-wide connecting shelving workbench combines two 2m(W) shelving units on each end and two 1.5m(W) shelves in the centre, sharing uprights to form a continuous long-span workstation for standard‑ceiling Australian garages, home workshops and light commercial spaces.

With 150kg per evenly distributed shelf and a 1500kg total system capacity, this 1.8m standard‑height configuration delivers a seamless layout with strong load performance and flexible shelf adjustment. It pairs generous bulk storage for tools, parts and equipment on both sides with a wide central flat work surface for assembly, preparation and everyday tasks.

This unit stands independently as a complete 5.5m storage and workstation run, and can be further extended with additional matching add‑on bays to fit the full length of your wall.

Key Features

• 5.5m Longspan Dual‑Storage Wide‑Workstation Design: Two 2m wide storage bays flank a spacious 1.5m central workstation, joined by shared uprights to form a seamless 5.5m continuous system. The standard 1.8m height fits most standard garage ceilings comfortably, while the wider central section delivers a more generous work surface than compact 5.2m models.
• 1500kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 150kg per shelf (evenly distributed) across all 10 tiers, delivering 1500kg total load capacity suitable for bulky tools, spare parts, storage tubs and workshop equipment.
• Fully Adjustable Shelf Layouts: All shelves across every section can be repositioned at various heights to suit your workflow and storage needs, creating tall gaps for long equipment or compact layers for sorted small items.
• Durable Powder‑Coated Steel Frame: High‑grade powder‑coated steel construction for superior strength, corrosion resistance and a clean professional finish, built for long‑term use in garage and workshop environments.
• Modular Expandable Design: 100% compatible with all 1.8m(H) × 0.5m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames in our range. You can add more add‑on bays at any time to extend your system as your needs grow.
  

What's Included

• 4 × steel upright frames (1.8m H)
• 8 × 2m (W) steel shelves
• 2 × 1.5m (W) steel shelves

Note: This is a complete freestanding longspan shelving bench system. It can stand on its own, or be extended with additional add‑on bays for longer runs.

Specifications

Is This the Right Fit for Your Space?

This 5.5m × 1.8m standard‑height shelving bench system is the ideal choice if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall with standard ceiling height, and want a single integrated unit that combines ample vertical storage with a wide central flat work surface.

The dual 2m side bays provide plenty of shelf space for storage tubs, tools and equipment, while the 1.5m wide central section creates a generous flat zone for assembly, repairs or everyday tasks. The 1.8m standard height fits comfortably under typical garage ceilings with clear access to the top shelf. The shared upright design reduces overall cost and creates a seamless, gap‑free appearance compared to separate standalone shelving and work tables.

Choose our 5.5m 2m tall shelving bench if you have higher ceilings and want extra vertical storage capacity. Opt for our 5.2m compact model if your wall is shorter and you need a more compact work zone. Go for our pegboard workbench range if you want vertical tool hanging instead of a flat work surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s the difference between this standard‑height model and the 2m tall 5.5m shelving bench? 
   This model has a 1.8m standard height, which fits comfortably under most standard garage ceilings with easy access to the top shelf. The 2m tall version adds 200mm of extra vertical storage for higher ceilings, increasing total capacity by roughly 11% but requiring more headroom. Both feature the same 1.5m wide central workstation.
2. What is the 1.5m central workstation section used for?
    The 1.5m central section creates a dedicated flat work surface. It is ideal for small assembly tasks, tool preparation, repair work, or as a staging area for items you are actively working with, without taking up space in your main storage bays.
3. Can I adjust the height of the central work surface? 
   Yes. All shelves, including the central workstation shelves, are fully adjustable. You can set the work surface at your preferred working height, and adjust the storage shelves around it to match your workflow and item sizes.
4. Can I add more bays to extend the system later? 
   Yes, the system is fully modular. You can purchase additional matching 1.8m(H) × 0.5m(D) add‑on bays at any time to extend the continuous storage and workstation run to fit the exact length of your wall.
