Longspan Shelving Solutions for Businesses in York
Businesses across York often need a storage system that sits between lightweight shelving and heavy pallet racking. When items are too bulky for standard shelves but don’t require palletised storage, longspan shelving offers a practical and efficient solution.
At Mowbray Workspace Solutions, I design and install longspan shelving systems tailored to your space and operations—helping you organise stock, improve accessibility, and make better use of available storage areas.
Longspan shelving is a medium-duty storage system designed for storing bulkier or heavier items that are handled manually rather than by forklift.
Key features include:
Wide spans between uprights
Adjustable shelf levels
Strong steel construction
Open access for easy picking
