Note: For industrial warehouse use requiring 2000kg heavy‑load longspan systems, explore our heavy‑duty connecting shelving range with 0.6m depth.
Key Features
- Add‑On Longspan Design: 4m wide connecting unit engineered to join with a starter bay, sharing one central upright to build a gap‑free continuous storage wall. Saves cost compared to buying two separate standalone bays and delivers a seamless built‑in appearance.
- 1200kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 150kg per shelf (evenly distributed per bay), 4 tiers across two bays for 1200kg total load, ideal for household tools, storage tubs, cartons and light workshop inventory.
- Independently Adjustable Shelves: All 8 solid steel shelves can be repositioned separately, so you can customise height layouts on each 2m section to fit boxes, tubs and equipment of different sizes.
- Durable Powder‑Coated Steel Build: High‑grade carbon steel frame with black powder‑coated finish, resistant to scratches, dust and minor stains, built for long‑term indoor use in garages and workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an add‑on bay, and do I need a starter bay first?An add‑on (connecting) bay shares one upright with an existing starter bay to extend your shelving run. You will need at least one starter bay first to build a complete freestanding system; add‑on bays cannot stand on their own.
-
Is this compatible with my existing Apple Shelving 1.8m high 0.5m deep racks?Yes, this connecting unit is fully compatible with all 1.8m(H) × 0.5m(D) regular‑duty steel shelving in our range, so you can extend your existing system seamlessly.
-
How is this better than buying two separate 2m standalone bays?This 4m connecting unit shares one central upright instead of using two separate end uprights. This lowers total cost, reduces installation time and creates a gap‑free continuous shelf surface with a cleaner appearance.
-
Can I set different shelf heights on each 2m section?Yes. Every shelf can be adjusted independently, so you can configure different height layouts on each side to match the exact size of your stored items.
