5.5m*1.8m*0.6m 2500KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving Workbench

5.5m x 1.8m x 0.6m Connecting Shelving Workbench

This 5.5‑metre heavy‑duty long‑span metal shelving bench delivers a spacious all‑in‑one storage and workstation solution at a standard 1.8m height, ideal for regular‑ceiling garages, larger workshop bays and utility spaces across Australia.

It pairs two 2‑metre wide heavy‑duty storage bays with an extra‑wide 1.5m central work bay(two 1.5m(W) shelves), sharing uprights to form a seamless continuous long‑span workstation. At 1.8m tall, it sits comfortably under most standard Australian garage, shed and workshop ceilings, with easy everyday access to the top shelf without a step ladder. The dual side bays provide generous heavy‑duty storage for tools, parts and bulk items, while the wider central bay can be fitted with an optional benchtop to create a roomy work surface right alongside your stored gear for efficient workflow. With 250kg per evenly distributed shelf and a 2500kg total system capacity, this 0.6m deep unit handles bulky equipment and large storage containers that standard‑depth regular‑duty shelving cannot support.

Finished in black powder coating for rust and chemical resistance, it delivers long‑lasting performance in both home and light commercial environments.

Key Features

• Extra‑Wide Integrated Shelving + Workstation Design: Two 2m wide side storage bays flank a 1.5m wide central work bay, integrated into one seamless long‑span unit. 300mm wider work area than the 5.2m model, with ample space for larger workpieces, multiple hand tools and project layouts.
• 1.8m Standard Height Profile: Universal 1.8m shelf height fits comfortably under most standard Australian garage, shed and workshop ceilings, with clear access to all shelf levels for everyday use. A practical, versatile height for most residential and small commercial spaces.
• 2500kg Total Heavy‑Duty Load Rating: 250kg per shelf (evenly distributed) across all 10 tiers, delivering 2500kg total system capacity engineered for bulky tools, heavy parts, cartons and equipment that exceed regular‑duty weight limits.
• 0.6m Extra Deep Format: 100mm deeper than standard 0.5m regular‑duty shelving, fully accommodating large storage tubs and wide workshop tool chests without dangerous front overhang.
• Optional Wide Benchtop Upgrade: The central bay can be fitted with a 1.5m wide worktop for a smooth, solid working surface. Note: During the August–December 2026 transition period, benchtops may be supplied in either black MDF or natural timber. Please advise your preference at time of order.
• Independently Adjustable Shelf Layouts: All 10 solid steel shelves can be repositioned separately at different heights, so you can customise storage heights on each side bay and set work surface levels to suit your workflow.
• Reinforced Frame with Specified Steel Thickness: Rigid steel uprights (0.7mm), crossrails (0.8mm) and shelves (0.45mm) deliver robust, stable structure across the full 5.5m span, suitable for both home garage and commercial workshop use.
• Modular Extendable Design: Works as a complete standalone workstation, or extends seamlessly with matching 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty bays to build larger custom storage and work systems.

Specifications

Is This the Right Fit for Your Space?

This 5.5m heavy‑duty metal shelving bench is ideal if you want a combined storage and workstation solution with a more spacious work area for larger projects, tools and workpieces, in a standard‑ceiling space.

The extra‑wide 1.5m central work bay provides significantly more operating room than narrower workbench models, while the integrated design saves floor space by combining storage and work surface in one continuous unit. Heavy tools and parts are stored right beside your work area for efficient workflow. The 0.6m extra depth ensures large items sit fully on shelves with no tipping hazard, unlike standard 0.5m deep regular‑duty units.

Choose our 5.2m shelving bench if you have a narrower wall and don’t need the extra work space. Opt for our 2m tall 5.5m shelving bench if you have higher ceilings and want extra vertical storage. Go for a standard 5.5m heavy‑duty connecting shelving unit if you only need storage and no dedicated work surface.

FAQs

1. What’s the difference between this 5.5m model and the 5.2m shelving bench?
    This model has a 1.5m wide central work bay – 300mm wider than the 5.2m model’s 1.2m work area. The extra width gives you more room for larger workpieces, multiple hand tools and project layouts, making it better suited for bigger workshop tasks. Both share the same heavy‑duty 250kg per shelf load rating, 1.8m height and 0.6m depth.
2. How does this 1.8m model compare to the 2m tall 5.5m shelving bench? 
   This model is 200mm shorter at 1.8m tall, designed for standard ceiling heights where a 2m tall unit would leave minimal clearance or not fit at all. It offers easier access to the top shelf for everyday use. Both share the same 1.5m wide work bay, 0.6m depth and 250kg per shelf heavy‑duty load rating.
3. How much weight can the 1.5m benchtop support? 
   The benchtop is designed for general workshop tasks, light assembly and hand tool use. For heavy hammer work, vice operations or heavy static loads, we recommend reinforcing the work bay or using a dedicated heavy‑duty workbench. Evenly distributed light to medium workshop loads are suitable.
4. Can I extend this unit with additional storage bays later? 
   Yes. The unit is fully modular and compatible with all other 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty shelving bays from our range. You can add bays to either end to expand storage capacity while keeping the central work bay in place.
