5.5m*1.8m*0.6m 3000KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

5.5m x 1.8m x 0.6m 3000KG Connecting Unit – 250kg Per Shelf, 3000kg Total Capacity

This 5.5‑metre long‑span heavy‑duty connecting metal shelving unit delivers seamless continuous bulk heavy‑capacity storage with symmetric compartment sizing at a standard 1.8m height, ideal for standard‑ceiling garages, workshop bays and utility spaces across Australia.

It 5.5m-wide connecting unit combines two 2m(W) bays and one 1.5m(W) bay, sharing two central uprights to form a continuous long-span shelving system.

Built for garages, workshops, and warehouses, it features the same heavy-duty steel construction and adjustable 4-tier design as the single bay, allowing you to create extended storage runs without sacrificing strength or stability.

Key Features

• 5.5m Seamless Symmetric Three‑Bay Design: Two 2m wide side bays flank one 1.5m central bay, joined by shared central uprights to create a continuous gap‑free 5.5m storage run. The symmetric wide‑side layout prioritises bulk storage for large items across both sides, with a medium central compartment for organised smaller parts — a distinct configuration to the narrow‑wide‑narrow 5m mixed‑bay unit.
• 1.8m Standard Height Profile: Universal 1.8m shelf height fits comfortably under most standard Australian garage and workshop ceilings, with clear access to the top shelf without step ladders for everyday items. A practical, versatile height for most residential and light commercial spaces.
• 3000kg Total Heavy‑Duty Load Rating: 250kg per shelf (evenly distributed) across all 12 tiers, delivering 3000kg 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.
• Independently Adjustable Shelf Layouts: All 12 solid steel shelves can be repositioned separately at different heights, so you can customise height configurations per bay to fit boxes, tubs and equipment of varying sizes.
• 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 5.5m storage run, or extends seamlessly with matching 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty bays to build longer custom storage systems.
  

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 3‑bay connecting shelving unit. It can be used standalone, or extended with additional matching bays to create longer continuous storage runs.

Specifications

Is This the Right Fit for Your Space?

This 5.5m long‑span heavy‑duty connecting shelving unit is ideal if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall with standard ceiling height, and want a seamless continuous heavy‑storage solution optimised for bulkier items, with a smaller central bay for organised parts and tools.

The symmetric wide‑side layout provides two full‑width compartments for large storage tubs, bulky equipment and tool chests, with a medium central bay for smaller sorted items. This makes it better suited for bulk‑heavy storage than the 5m mixed‑bay unit, which prioritises a single wide central bay. The 1.8m standard height is the most practical choice for most residential garages and small workshops, offering easy access to all shelves without excessive reach. The shared central uprights create a clean gap‑free look and reduce overall cost compared to buying three separate single bays, while delivering the same full 250kg per shelf load rating across the entire span.

Choose our 5m mixed‑bay connecting unit if you prefer a single wide central bay for large items with narrower side bays for small parts. Opt for the 2m tall 5.5m connecting unit if you have higher ceilings and want extra vertical storage capacity. Go for our 0.5m standard depth regular‑duty connecting shelving if you only need lighter everyday storage.

FAQs

1. What’s the difference between this 5.5m unit and the 5m mixed‑bay connecting shelving? 
   This 5.5m unit uses a symmetric 2m + 1.5m + 2m layout with two wide side bays, optimised for bulk storage of large items across both sides. The 5m mixed‑bay unit uses a 1.5m + 2m + 1.5m layout with one single wide central bay, better for mixed item sizes with one large central compartment. 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 connecting shelving? 
   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 symmetric 2m + 1.5m + 2m bay layout, 0.6m depth and 250kg per shelf heavy‑duty load rating.
3. Do the shared central uprights reduce the load capacity? 
   No. Each shared central upright is engineered to carry the full load from both adjacent bays. Every shelf still supports its full 250kg rated capacity (evenly distributed) right up to the upright, with no reduction in strength across any join.
4. What ceiling height do I need for this 1.8m unit? 
   We recommend a minimum clear ceiling height of 2.0m for straightforward assembly and safe access to the top shelf. This makes it suitable for most standard Australian residential garages and small commercial workshops.
