5m x 2m x 0.5m Tall 3-Bay Longspan Shelving Add-On 2200kg | Apple Shelving
This 5‑metre wide, 2‑metre tall regular‑duty longspan shelving system features a 3‑bay mixed‑width layout, combining two 1.5m(W) bays and one 2m(W) bay with shared central uprights to deliver seamless zoned storage for long, high‑ceiling walls in Australian garages and workshops.
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 tall longspan rack unlocks extra vertical storage space while supporting flexible organisation: narrower bays for heavy tools and sorted parts, wider bays for bulky storage tubs and seasonal items.
This unit stands independently as a complete 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
- Tall 3‑Bay Mixed‑Width Longspan Design: Combines two 1.5m bays and one 2m bay with two shared central uprights, forming a seamless 5m continuous storage run at 2m height. The mixed widths enable targeted zoned organisation, and the extra height unlocks unused upper wall space for more storage volume.
- 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 Shelf Layouts: Every solid steel shelf across all three bays can be repositioned separately. You can customise height configurations for each zone, creating tall gaps for long equipment or compact layers for sorted small items.
- Reinforced Stable Tall Frame: Heavy‑gauge steel uprights and cross bracing deliver solid structural stability at 2m height. The shared upright design and extended overall footprint further reinforce balance across the full 5m length.
-
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.

Is this the right size for your space?
This 5m × 2m 3‑bay longspan shelving system is the optimal choice if you have a roughly 5‑metre long wall with good ceiling height, and want both flexible zoned organisation and extra vertical storage capacity.
The 2m height makes full use of standard Australian garage ceiling space, adding significantly more total storage volume than 1.8m tall models. The mixed‑width layout lets you dedicate narrower bays to heavy tools and parts, and the wider bay to large storage tubs and bulky gear — all in one seamless, gap‑free run.
Choose our 1.8m tall 5m 3‑bay model if you have lower ceilings. Opt for our 0.6m deep longspan range if you need extra depth for oversized containers. For even longer walls, you can add extra matching add‑on bays to extend the system further.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does this 2m tall version differ from the 1.8m tall 5m 3‑bay 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, noticeably increasing total storage volume across the full 5m length.
-
Is a 5m long 2m tall system stable when fully loaded?Yes. The extended 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.
-
How should I organise the mixed‑width bays for best use?A common practical layout is to use the 2m wide bay for large storage tubs, gardening equipment and bulky items, and use the two 1.5m bays for sorted tool kits, spare parts and smaller organised containers.
-
Can I add more bays to this 5m system 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.
