Versatile, High-Strength Shelving for Oversized & Heavy Inventory
Integrated Storage Solutions (ISS UAE) designs and supplies heavy-duty Long Span Shelving systems tailored to bridge the gap between light-duty slotted angle shelving and pallet racking. Engineered specifically for manual handling, this system optimizes cubic storage volume for bulky, heavy, or awkwardly shaped inventory without requiring forklift access at every tier.
Manufactured using cold-rolled high-tensile steel, our longspan systems allow wide, unobstructed horizontal spans. With beam lengths up to 2,700 mm and shelf capacities ranging from 300 kg to over 1,000 kg UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) per level, our systems provide supreme rigidity and modular adaptability for warehouses, retail stockrooms, automotive centres, and fulfillment facilities across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the GCC.
Key Engineered Features & Advantages
Every long span installation is designed according to FEM / SEMA international storage guidelines to guarantee occupational durability, seismic resilience, and rapid operational turnaround.
High Load Bearing Capacity
Engineered step-beams and reinforced upright frames deliver heavy load performance up to 1,000 kg per beam level, accommodating heavy machinery parts, industrial dies, and bulk packaging.
50mm Pitch Adjustability
Vertical upright posts feature precision-punched slots at 50mm increments. Shelves can be quickly reconfigured or expanded as product lines and packaging dimensions evolve over time.
Direct Hand-Picked Access
Open horizontal clear spans eliminate awkward central columns, allowing warehouse personnel uninterrupted access from both sides for streamlined manual order picking and rapid stock counts.
Durable Powder-Coated Steel
Constructed with structural cold-rolled steel and finished with epoxy powder coating resistant to corrosion, chipping, and heavy climate variations common across Middle Eastern facilities.
Versatile Decking Options
Select from solid galvanized steel drop-in panels, heavy-duty wire mesh decking (ideal for fire sprinkler compliance), or industrial-grade plywood/chipboard to fit diverse inventory needs.
Turnkey Engineering & Setup
Backed by 36 years of Gulf experience, our in-house certified engineering team handles site measurement, static calculations, layout CAD drafting, and safety-compliant installation.

Engineered For Multi-Sector Operational Demands
Long span shelving serves as the primary manual picking backbone for global supply chains, industrial workshops, and commercial facilities throughout the region.
Manufacturing & Assembly Plants
Organize raw materials, tooling, work-in-progress (WIP) components, and spare parts adjacent to fabrication lines for minimum worker transit time.
Retail Backrooms & FMCG
Optimized for fast-moving consumer cartons, apparel flat-packs, and oversized merchandise where quick manual stock replenishment is vital.
Automotive Workshops & Garages
Wide open horizontal spans accommodate automotive panels, exhausts, heavy battery banks, brake components, and tire sets with high structural safety margins.
eCommerce & 3PL Fulfillment
Facilitates dense multi-tier pick towers and bin-location systems, significantly accelerating piece-picking workflows and carton sortation speed.
Heavy Document & Archive Repositories
Engineered to withstand heavy dead loads from thousands of archival storage boxes, oversized municipal blueprints, and legal records without shelf sagging.
Multi-Tier Raised Walkway Integration
Easily incorporated into multi-level rack-supported mezzanine floors with integral staircases, catwalks, and chutes to double or triple picking footprints.
Structural Rigidity & Warehouse Safety Compliance
Heavy manual storage systems require strict structural anchoring and certified load validation. ISS installations strictly comply with international FEM 10.2.02 and EN 15512 codes. All our frames are bolted directly to floor slabs using heavy chemical or expansion anchor bolts, and our beams incorporate positive locking safety pins to prevent accidental dislodgement during intensive handling.
Our structural engineers execute load capacity simulations for every facility, supplying certified safe working load (SWL) signage and comprehensive operator inspection protocols.
