Use Heavy Duty Shelving To Store Weighty Items 

At the office or at home, there are often heavy items that need to be stored out of sight. Plastic and some cheap wooden shelf units will not support the weight, so an alternative solution must be found. If it seems like there is no way to solve this problem other than building some reinforced shelving units yourself, think again. The answer comes in the form of heavy duty shelving and it can be purchased online or in home improvement stores.  

The edsal Workforce 5-shelf steel shelving is the perfect inexpensive solution for either the work supply closet or the residential attic or basement. It features steel construction and 4 shelves made from particle board. The rivet lock system used in assembly provides the unit with rigidity and strength. The shelves are adjustable and the unit holds 4,000 pounds of evenly distributed weight. This easy to assemble item retails for approximately $75 online and in several retail stores. 

If unused space is at a premium, a spacesaver shelf may be just the answer because these models fit neatly into unused corner space. Some are heavy duty shelving units made from steel that will not buckle under the weight of heavy boxes. These hold up to 100 pounds per shelf and feature wedge-lock connectors for shelf adjustment. These units come in either 3 or 5 tier models perfect for any room. Some models come with wheels, making them easy to push from one area to the next.  

A commercial heavy duty shelving unit is usually wider than the available residential models. There are 60 inch wide units that feature adjustable shelves, require no tools for assembly, and utilize a slip-sleeve locking system. The unit can be made stationary using adjustable feet levelers, or mobile via swivel casters available for purchase. These retail for the reasonable price of approximately $150 and some Web sites offer free shipping. 

Businesses that have a surplus of inventory to store should consider bulk storage heavy duty shelving. The shelf capacities range from 2,150 to 4,150 pounds per shelf, depending on shelf size. The unit has reinforcement beams that lock into the upright supports. There are multiple widths, depths, and heights available, making this a very flexible solution for various storage needs.  

It is not difficult to find heavy duty shelving for residential or commercial purposes online or in stores. There are spacesaver, economy priced, and excess weight systems available to accommodate items of various sizes and heaviness. Purchasing one of these items will provide sturdy storage space for even the most unwieldy items.
