5.5m*2m*0.5m 2000KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

This 5.5‑metre tall regular‑duty longspan shelving system features a wide‑dominant 3‑bay layout, combining two 2m bays and one 1.5m bay with shared central uprights, engineered for extra‑long high‑ceiling walls in Australian double garages, large workshops and light commercial spaces.

With 2000kg total load capacity across all three bays — 150kg per evenly‑loaded shelf in the 2m bays, and 200kg per shelf in the 1.5m bay — this tall longspan rack prioritises wide storage space for oversized plastic tubs and bulky equipment, while the 2m extra height unlocks upper wall space for seasonal and infrequently used items.

This unit stands independently as a complete 5.5m storage run, and can be further extended with additional matching add‑on bays to fit the full length of your wall.

Note: For industrial warehouse use requiring higher heavy‑load longspan systems, explore our heavy‑duty connecting shelving range for commercial‑grade strength.

Key Features

• 2m Tall + 5.5m Extra Long Wide‑Dominant Design: Combines 200mm of extra vertical height with a 3‑bay layout led by two 2m wide bays, forming a seamless 5.5m continuous storage run. The dual wide bays offer generous space for large bulky items, while the added height maximises total storage volume in high‑ceiling spaces.
• 2000kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 150kg per shelf in 2m bays and 200kg per shelf in the 1.5m bay (all evenly distributed), 4 tiers per bay for 2000kg total load, suitable for household tools, storage tubs, spare parts and light workshop inventory.
• Independently Adjustable Shelf Layouts: Every solid steel shelf across all three bays can be repositioned separately. You can customise height configurations for each bay, creating tall gaps for long‑handled equipment or compact layers for sorted small hardware.
• Reinforced Stable Tall Frame: Heavy‑gauge steel uprights and cross bracing deliver solid structural stability across the full 5.5m length, even at 2m height. The extended base footprint and shared upright design further reinforce overall balance and tilt resistance.
• Full Modular Expandability: 100% compatible with all 2m(H) × 0.5m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames in our range. You can add more add‑on bays at any time to extend your storage system as your needs grow.

Specifications

Is this the right size for your space?

This 5.5m × 2m 3‑bay tall longspan shelving system is the optimal choice if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall with good ceiling height, and your storage needs are focused on large tubs and bulky items with extra vertical capacity.

The dual 2m wide bays give you more continuous wide shelf space for oversized storage containers and big equipment, while the 2m height makes full use of standard Australian double garage ceiling space, adding significantly more total storage volume than 1.8m tall models.

Choose our 1.8m tall 5.5m wide‑dominant model if you have lower ceilings. Opt for our 5m 3‑bay tall model if your wall is slightly shorter. For extra front‑to‑back depth for oversized containers, explore our 0.6m deep longspan range.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does this 2m tall version differ from the 1.8m tall 5.5m wide‑dominant shelving?
   This model adds 200mm of vertical height per bay. It creates taller compartment gaps for bulky equipment, or allows you to add an extra shelf tier for lighter items, significantly increasing total storage volume across the full 5.5m length.
2. Will this 5.5m tall unit fit along the back wall of a standard Australian double garage?
   Most standard Australian double garages have an internal width of 5.5–6m and a ceiling height of 2.4m+. This unit fits neatly along the full back wall with side clearance, and the 2m height leaves comfortable space above for safe access to the top shelf.
3. Is the long 5.5m frame stable at 2m height when fully loaded?
   Yes. The extended 5.5m base footprint and reinforced cross bracing are engineered for stability at this height. For maximum safety, always place heavier items on lower shelves and lighter, less frequently used goods on upper tiers.
4. Can I add more bays to make the system even longer later?
   Yes, the system is fully modular. You can purchase additional matching 2m(H) × 0.5m(D) add‑on bays at any time to extend the continuous storage run to fit the exact length of your wall.
