5m x 1.8m x 0.5m 3-Bay metal Longspan Shelving Add-On 2200kg | Apple Shelving
This 5‑metre regular‑duty longspan shelving system features a 3‑bay mixed‑width design, combining two 1.5m(W) bays and one 2m(W) bay with shared central uprights to create a seamless continuous storage solution for long walls in Australian garages, workshops and light commercial spaces.
With 2200kg total load capacity across all three bays — 200kg per evenly‑loaded shelf in the 1.5m bays, and 150kg per shelf in the 2m bay — this add‑on compatible longspan rack supports flexible zoned storage: narrower bays for heavy tools and parts, wider bays for bulky storage tubs and equipment.
This unit stands independently as a complete 5m storage run, and can be further extended with additional matching add‑on bays to fit the exact 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
- 3‑Bay Mixed‑Width Longspan Design: Combines two 1.5m bays and one 2m bay with two shared central uprights, delivering a seamless 5m continuous storage run. The mixed widths support flexible zoned organisation, with narrower sections for heavy tools and wider sections for large bulky items.
- 2200kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 200kg per shelf in 1.5m bays and 150kg per shelf in the 2m bay (all evenly distributed), 4 tiers per bay for 2200kg total load, ideal for household tools, storage tubs, spare parts and light workshop inventory.
- Independently Adjustable Shelves: Every solid steel shelf across all three bays can be repositioned separately, so you can customise height layouts for each zone to match boxes, tubs and equipment of different sizes.
- Durable Powder‑Coated Steel Construction: 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.

Is this the right size for your space?
This 5m 3‑bay mixed‑width longspan shelving system is ideal if you have a roughly 5‑metre long blank wall in your garage or workshop, and want flexible zoned storage with different width sections for different item types.
The mixed‑width layout lets you dedicate narrower bays to heavy tools, parts and small equipment, and the wider bay to large storage tubs and bulky gardening gear — all in one seamless run. The shared central uprights reduce overall cost and create a cleaner, gap‑free appearance compared to separate standalone units.
If your wall is shorter, our 4m 2‑bay longspan systems are a better fit. If you need extra depth for oversized containers, explore our 0.6m deep longspan shelving range. For even longer walls, you can add extra matching add‑on bays to extend the system further.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the advantage of a mixed‑width 3‑bay design?A mixed‑width layout lets you organise different item types in dedicated zones. Narrower 1.5m bays work well for heavy tools and sorted parts, while the wider 2m bay fits large storage tubs and bulky equipment that needs more horizontal space.
-
Do all bays have the same weight capacity per shelf?No. The 1.5m bays support 200kg per shelf, while the 2m bay supports 150kg per shelf. All capacity ratings apply only when weight is evenly distributed across the full shelf surface.
-
Is this a complete standalone system, or do I need a separate starter bay?This is a full freestanding 3‑bay system with 4 upright frames. It is ready to use on its own, and you can also add more add‑on bays later if you want to extend the storage run further.
-
Can I rearrange the order of the 1.5m and 2m bays during assembly?Yes, the modular design lets you arrange the bays in any order you prefer during assembly, so you can place the wider bay on either end or in the middle to match your storage layout.
