5m*1.8m*0.6m 3000KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

5m x 1.8m x 0.6m Heavy-Duty Mixed-Bay Connecting Shelving 3000kg | 250kg Per Shelf, 3000kg Total Capacity

This 5‑metre long‑span heavy‑duty connecting metal shelving unit delivers seamless continuous heavy‑capacity storage with mixed compartment sizes at a standard 1.8m height, ideal for standard‑ceiling garages, workshop bays and utility spaces across Australia.

It combines two 1.5m(W) bays and one 2m(W) bay, sharing two central uprights to form a continuous long-span shelving system. At 1.8m tall, it is the universal standard height that fits comfortably under most standard Australian garage and workshop ceilings, with easy access to the top shelf for everyday items. 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 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.

Key Features

• 5m Seamless Mixed‑Bay Three‑Bay Design: Two 1.5m side bays flank one 2m central bay, joined by shared central uprights to create a continuous gap‑free 5m storage run. The mixed‑width layout offers versatile compartment sizes for both small heavy parts and large bulky items, more flexible than uniform‑bay designs.
• 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.
• Heavy‑Duty Load Rating: 250kg per shelf (evenly distributed) across all 12 tiers, 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 5m span, suitable for both home garage and commercial workshop use.
• Modular Extendable Design: Works as a complete standalone 5m storage run, or extends seamlessly with matching 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) heavy‑duty bays to build longer custom storage systems.

Specifications

Is This the Right Fit for Your Space?

This 5m long‑span heavy‑duty connecting shelving unit is ideal if you have a roughly 5‑metre long wall with standard ceiling height, and want a seamless continuous heavy‑storage solution with mixed compartment sizes for different item types.

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 mixed‑width layout is more versatile than uniform‑bay designs: narrower side bays work for sorted parts, tools and smaller containers, while the wider central bay accommodates large tool chests, bulky equipment and full‑size storage tubs. 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 2m tall 5m connecting unit if you have higher ceilings and want extra vertical storage capacity. Opt for the 4m dual‑bay connecting unit if you have a narrower wall and prefer 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 1.8m unit and the 2m tall 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 mixed 1.5m + 2m + 1.5m bay layout, 0.6m depth and 250kg per shelf heavy‑duty load rating.
2. What’s the advantage of a mixed‑bay layout? 
   A mixed‑width layout lets you organise different sized items efficiently in one continuous run. Narrower side bays keep small parts, tools and sorted items organised, while the wider central bay handles large bulky equipment that won’t fit in narrower compartments. It avoids wasted space from using all‑wide bays for small items.
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.
