5.5m*1.8m*0.5m 2000KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

5.5m Storage Rack 3-Bay Longspan Shelving 2000kg | Apple Shelving

This 5.5‑metre regular‑duty longspan shelving system features a wide‑dominant 3‑bay layout, combining two 2m bays and one 1.5m bay with shared central uprights, built for extra‑long blank walls in Australian double garages, large workshops and light commercial spaces.

With 2000kg total load capacity across all three bays — 150kg per evenly‑loaded shelf in the 2m bays, and 200kg per shelf in the 1.5m bay — this longspan rack prioritises wide storage space for oversized plastic tubs, bulky gardening equipment and large tool chests, with a narrower bay for sorted parts and smaller items.

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

Note: For industrial warehouse use requiring higher heavy‑load longspan systems, explore our heavy‑duty connecting shelving range for commercial‑grade strength.

Key Features

• 5.5m Extra Long 3‑Bay Wide‑Dominant Design: Combines two 2m wide bays and one 1.5m bay with two shared central uprights, forming a seamless 5.5m continuous storage run. The dual wide bays offer more space for large bulky items than mixed‑narrow layouts, ideal for users prioritising big tub and equipment storage.
• 2000kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 150kg per shelf in 2m bays and 200kg per shelf in the 1.5m bay (all evenly distributed), 4 tiers per bay for 2000kg total load, suitable for household tools, storage tubs, spare parts and light workshop inventory.
• Independently Adjustable Shelf Layouts: Every solid steel shelf across all three bays can be repositioned separately. You can customise height configurations for each bay, creating tall gaps for long equipment or compact layers for sorted small hardware.
• Reinforced Stable Frame Structure: Heavy‑gauge steel uprights and cross bracing deliver solid structural stability across the full 5.5m length. The shared upright design and extended base footprint further reinforce overall balance.
• Full Modular Expandability: 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 storage system as your needs grow.

What's Included

• 4 × steel upright frames (1.8m H)
• 8 × 2m (W) steel shelves
• 4 × 1.5m (W) steel shelves
• All required nuts, bolts and assembly hardware

Note: This is a complete freestanding 3‑bay longspan system. It can stand on its own, or be extended with additional add‑on bays for longer storage runs.

Specifications

Is this the right size for your space?

This 5.5m × 1.8m 3‑bay longspan shelving system is the ideal choice if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall, and your storage needs are focused on large tubs and bulky items rather than small sorted parts.

The dual 2m wide bays give you more continuous wide shelf space for oversized storage containers and big equipment, while the single 1.5m bay works well for smaller organised items. The shared central uprights reduce overall cost and create a seamless, gap‑free appearance compared to separate standalone units.

Choose our 5m 3‑bay mixed‑width model if you have a slightly shorter wall and want more balanced zoned storage. Opt for our 0.6m deep longspan range if you need extra front‑to‑back depth for oversized containers. For even longer walls, you can add extra matching add‑on bays to extend the system further.

Is this the right size for your space?

1. How is this different from the 5m 3‑bay mixed‑width shelving?
   This 5.5m model has two 2m wide bays and one 1.5m bay, prioritising wide storage space for large tubs and bulky items. The 5m model has two 1.5m bays and one 2m bay, with more balanced zoned storage for mixed item sizes.
2. Is 5.5m a good fit for a standard Australian double garage?
   Most standard Australian double garages have an internal width of 5.5–6m. This unit fits neatly along the full back wall of a typical double garage, creating a complete wall‑to‑wall storage solution.
3. Which bay should I use for heavier items?
   For maximum stability, we recommend placing heavier items in the 1.5m bay (200kg per shelf capacity) on lower shelves, and using the two 2m bays for lighter bulky goods and large storage tubs.
4. Can I add more bays to make the system even longer?
   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 run to fit the exact length of your wall.
