5.5m*2m*0.6m 3000KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

5.5m Heavy-Duty Symmetric Three-Bay Connecting Shelving 3000kg | Apple Shelving

This 5.5‑metre long‑span heavy‑duty connecting metal shelving unit delivers seamless continuous bulk heavy‑capacity storage with symmetric compartment sizing for 5.5‑metre garage walls, workshop bays and utility spaces across Australia.

It combines two 2m(W) heavy‑duty side bays with one 1.5m(W) central bay, sharing two central uprights to form a gap‑free long‑span system that looks cleaner and costs less than assembling multiple separate single bays. The symmetric wide‑side layout prioritises generous storage for large bulky items in both side bays, with the central bay suited for medium‑sized parts, tools and sorted consumables. With 250kg per evenly distributed shelf and 3000kg total capacity, this 0.6m deep unit handles heavy parts, cartons and large storage containers that standard‑depth regular‑duty shelving cannot support.

Built with the same reinforced steel construction as our single bay units, it maintains full strength and stability across the full 5.5m span. It works as a complete standalone storage run, or can be extended with additional matching bays for longer wall‑to‑wall configurations.

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

This 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, with a medium central compartment for organised smaller parts — a distinct configuration to the narrow‑wide‑narrow 5m mixed‑bay unit.
• 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 2m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty bays to build longer custom storage systems.
  

What's Included

• 4 × Steel upright frames (2.0m 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 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 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 4m dual‑bay connecting unit if you have a narrower wall and want uniform wide compartments. 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 and 0.6m depth.
2. 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.
3. Can I add more bays to extend this 5.5m unit later? 
   Yes. The unit is fully modular and compatible with all other 2m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty shelving bays from our range. You can add 1.2m, 1.5m or 2m wide bays to either end to build a custom‑length system that fits your wall exactly.
4. Is this unit suitable for commercial workshop and small warehouse use? 
   Yes. The reinforced steel frame and powder‑coated corrosion‑resistant finish are designed for both home garage and light commercial workshop environments, with a total 3000kg load rating suited for heavy tools, parts and inventory.
