5.5m*1.8m*0.6m 2400KG (W*H*D) Connecting Shelving

5.5m x 1.8m x 0.6m Wide-Dominant Deep Longspan Shelving 2400kg | Apple Shelving

This 5.5‑metre regular‑duty wide‑dominant deep longspan shelving system combines two 2m(W) bays and one 1.5m(W) bay with shared central uprights, delivering seamless zoned deep storage for extra‑long blank walls in Australian double garages, large workshops and light commercial spaces.

With 2400kg total load capacity across all three bays — 200kg per evenly‑loaded shelf on every tier — this deep longspan rack features an extended 0.6m front‑to‑back depth that fully supports oversized Australian storage tubs, wide tool chests and bulky equipment. The dual wide‑bay layout prioritises space for large bulky items, with a narrower bay for sorted parts and smaller accessories.

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 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

• 5.5m Extra Long Wide‑Dominant Deep Design: Combines 100mm additional front‑to‑back depth with a 3‑bay layout led by two 2m wide bays, forming a seamless 5.5m continuous storage run. The dual wide bays offer more space for large bulky items than mixed‑narrow layouts, while the extended depth eliminates shelf overhang for big containers.
• 2400kg Total Regular‑Duty Capacity: 200kg per shelf (evenly distributed) across all 12 tiers, delivering 2400kg total load capacity suitable for medium‑heavy tools, spare parts, large containers 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 equipment or compact layers for sorted small hardware.
• Reinforced Stable Deep Frame: Heavy‑gauge steel uprights and cross bracing deliver solid structural stability across the full 5.5m length. The 0.6m deep base widens the overall footprint, improving balance and tilt resistance even with fully loaded front‑heavy shelves.
• Full Modular Expandability: 100% compatible with all 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames in our range. You can add more add‑on bays at any time to extend your deep storage system as your needs grow.

Note: This is a complete freestanding 3‑bay longspan system. It can stand on its own, or be extended with additional add‑on bays for longer storage runs.

Specifications

Is this the right size for your space?

This 5.5m × 1.8m × 0.6m deep wide‑dominant longspan shelving system is the best choice if you have a roughly 5.5‑metre long wall and find standard 0.5m deep racks too shallow for your largest storage containers and toolboxes.

The dual 2m wide bays give you more continuous wide shelf space for oversized storage containers and big equipment, while the 0.6m extended depth ensures large items sit fully on the shelf with no dangerous overhang. The shared central uprights reduce overall cost and create a seamless, gap‑free appearance compared to separate standalone units.

Choose our 0.5m deep 5.5m wide‑dominant model if walkway space is very limited and you do not need extra depth. Opt for our 5m deep 3‑bay systems if your wall is slightly shorter. For even longer walls, you can add extra matching add‑on bays to extend the system further.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s the main difference between this and the 5.5m 0.5m deep wide‑dominant shelving?
    This model adds 100mm of front‑to‑back depth to every shelf. It is built to fully hold oversized 100L+ storage tubs and wide heavy tool chests, so items do not hang over the front edge and create tipping hazards.
2. Is 5.5m a good fit for a standard Australian double garage back wall? 
   Most standard Australian double garages have an internal width of 5.5–6m. This unit fits neatly along the full back wall, creating a complete wall‑to‑wall deep storage solution with minimal side clearance.
3. Do all three bays have the same 200kg per‑shelf weight limit? 
   Yes. Every shelf across both 2m bays and the 1.5m bay supports a 200kg evenly distributed load, giving consistent weight capacity across the entire 5.5m run.
4. Can I connect this deep system with my existing 0.5m deep shelving? 
   No, the depth must match for proper frame alignment and secure connection. This unit is only compatible with 1.8m(H) × 0.6m(D) regular‑duty shelving frames from our range.
