4m x 1.8m x 0.6m 1600KG Connecting Unit – 200kg Per Shelf, 1600kg Total Capacity
This 4‑metre wide regular‑duty deep longspan add‑on bay is engineered for long blank walls in Australian garages, workshops and light commercial spaces that require both extended continuous storage and extra front‑to‑back depth for bulky items.
It combines two 2m(W) bays with one shared central upright, delivering 1600kg total load capacity — 200kg per evenly‑loaded shelf across 4 tiers per bay. The 0.6m extended depth fully accommodates oversized storage tubs, wide tool chests and large equipment that standard 0.5m deep racks cannot support, while the shared upright design cuts costs and creates a seamless, gap‑free storage run.
This connecting unit must be paired with a matching 0.6m deep starter bay to form a complete freestanding shelving system, and is fully compatible with all 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) regular‑duty shelving in our range.
Note: For industrial warehouse use requiring 2000kg heavy‑load longspan systems, explore our heavy‑duty connecting shelving range for commercial‑grade strength.
Key Features
- 0.6m Extra Deep + 4m Longspan Add‑On Design: Combines extended front‑to‑back depth with seamless continuous storage. The 100mm extra depth fully supports oversized Australian storage tubs and heavy tool chests without overhang, while the shared central upright creates a gap‑free built‑in look and reduces total cost.
- 1600kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 200kg per shelf (evenly distributed per bay), 4 tiers across two bays for 1600kg total load, ideal for medium‑heavy tools, spare parts, large containers and light workshop inventory.
- Independently Adjustable Shelf Layouts: All 8 solid steel shelves can be repositioned separately, so you can customise height configurations on each 2m section to fit boxes, tubs and equipment of varying sizes.
- Reinforced Stable Deep Frame: High‑grade carbon steel uprights and cross bracing deliver solid structural stability. The deeper 0.6m base footprint also improves overall balance and tilt resistance, even when fully loaded.
-
Full Modular Compatibility: 100% compatible with all 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames in our range, so you can keep extending your deep storage system as your needs grow.

Note: This is an add‑on connecting unit. It requires a matching 0.6m deep starter bay to form a complete freestanding shelving run.

Is this the right size for your space?
This 4m × 1.8m × 0.6m deep longspan add‑on bay is the optimal choice if you have a long empty wall and find standard 0.5m deep racks too shallow for your largest storage containers and toolboxes.
It must be paired with a 2m 0.6m deep starter bay to form a full 6m continuous shelving run, or added to an existing Apple Shelving deep storage system to extend its length. The shared central upright lowers overall cost and creates a cleaner, more integrated appearance than using separate standalone bays.
If you only need a single freestanding unit, our 2m wide 0.6m deep single‑bay shelving is the better option. If you do not require extra depth, our 0.5m standard depth connecting longspan range offers a more space‑efficient, budget‑friendly solution.
For industrial‑grade heavy loads, explore our heavy‑duty 2000kg connecting longspan range.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the main difference between this and the 0.5m deep 4m connecting shelving?
This model adds 100mm of front‑to‑back depth per shelf. It is designed to fully hold 100L+ oversized storage tubs and wide tool chests, so items do not hang over the shelf edge and create tipping hazards. - Can I mix this 0.6m deep add‑on bay with my existing 0.5m deep shelving?
No, the depth must match for proper frame alignment and connection. This unit is only compatible with 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames from our range. - Does the extra depth make the longspan system less stable?
On the contrary. The 0.6m deep base widens the overall footprint of the entire run, improving balance and reducing tipping risk, especially when storing heavier items towards the front of the shelves. - How many large 100L storage tubs can fit on one 4m long shelf?
You can fit 6 to 8 standard 100L Australian plastic storage tubs along the full 4m length, with complete front‑to‑back support thanks to the 0.6m extended depth.
