About this product
These SONGMICS heavy-duty shelving units are a robust solution for organising your garage, shed, warehouse or any space where you need substantial storage. The set of two units offers a large capacity, capable of holding up to 875 kilograms – perfect for storing tools, equipment, and other bulky items. Constructed from steel with a galvanised finish, these shelving units are built to last and provide a stable platform for your belongings.
Each unit features five tiers, offering plenty of space, and the shelves themselves can be adjusted every 5cm thanks to their joint design, allowing you to adapt to different storage needs. They’ve been designed with boltless assembly in mind, making setup quick and straightforward following the included instructions. The large dimensions – 40 x 90 x 180 cm – make them suitable for wider spaces, and the L-shaped shelf brackets provide a secure fixing.
For added safety, an anti-tipping kit is included to secure the units to the wall, especially important when loaded with heavy items. These shelving units are ideal for those needing serious storage capacity, particularly in workshops or industrial environments.
Consider the footprint of these large units – they require a dedicated wall run to maximise their space and stability. They’re designed for floor mounting and can be used indoors, offering a practical solution for organising your tools and equipment effectively.
