5.5m x 2m x 0.5m Tall Central 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 high‑ceiling Australian garages, home workshops and light commercial spaces.
With 150kg per evenly distributed shelf and a 1500kg total system capacity, this 2m tall configuration delivers a seamless layout with strong load performance and flexible shelf adjustment. It pairs generous vertical bulk storage for tools, parts and equipment on both sides with a spacious 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 Tall 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 2m extra height unlocks additional vertical storage, 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 2m(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.

Is This the Right Fit for Your Space?
This 5.5m × 2.0m tall shelving bench system is the ideal choice if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall with good ceiling height, and want a single integrated unit that combines high‑capacity vertical storage with a spacious central flat work surface.
The dual 2m side bays provide plenty of tall shelf space for storage tubs, tools and equipment, while the 1.5m wider central section creates a generous flat zone for assembly, repairs or everyday tasks. The 2m height makes full use of high garage ceilings, adding significantly more total storage volume than standard 1.8m tall models. The shared upright design reduces overall cost and creates a seamless, gap‑free appearance compared to separate standalone shelving and work tables.
Choose our 5.2m standard‑height shelving bench if you have lower ceilings and a more compact work space. Opt for our pegboard workbench range if you want vertical tool hanging instead of a flat work surface. For longer walls, you can add extra matching add‑on bays to extend the system further.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the difference between this 2m tall model and the 5.2m standard shelving bench?
This 5.5m model is 200mm taller and has a wider 1.5m central workstation. The extra height adds significant vertical storage volume for taller items or an extra shelf tier, while the wider work surface provides more space for assembly and repair tasks. The 5.2m model has a compact 1.2m central section and 1.8m total height. - What is the benefit of a 2m tall workbench system?
A 2m height makes full use of typical Australian garage ceiling space, unlocking unused upper wall area for seasonal items, bulky equipment and stacked storage tubs. It adds roughly 11% more total storage volume compared to standard 1.8m tall systems. - 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. - Can I add more bays to extend the system later?
Yes, the system is fully modular. You can purchase additional matching 2m(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.
