How many times have we seen on sketch shows on TV where someone has placed something much too heavy on shelving, only to see them collapse? But are you entirely sure that it won’t happen to you?

With cheap imported shelving made from inferior quality steel, this scenario could happen to anyone, anywhere.

If you want shelving that is so strong that it could hold a polar bear, then you need to look no further than British-made heavy duty shelving that is constructed using only 100% British steel. Costing less that you would think, ShelvingDirect®’s heavy duty shelving is built to last. It is safe, robust and can be supplied in an attractive powder coated finish so it will look good wherever you put it.

All too often, imported shelving can be thin and not suitable for purpose. Inferior quality products can twist and bend and collapse with only the smallest amount of items stored on them. So why put your own, and anybody else’s, safety at risk?

We can provide high quality, reliable shelving for both the home and business. Whether you require it for the office, garage, shed, workshop, warehouse, or industrial buildings, there is a shelving solution that is perfect for any location.

Available in a variety of sizes, heavy duty shelving can be designed to fit in any space. If you can’t find exactly what you need from our large selection, custom-made shelving solutions can produced to meet your exact specifications.

ShelvingDirect® manufactures heavy duty shelving, boltless steel shelving, workbenches, racking systems and accessories which are made from only the best quality material, supplied direct to you straight from our factory in Birmingham.

In life, you get what you pay for. Right? Actually, that’s not always true. In the world of budget steel shelving, the word ‘budget’ doesn’t always have to be synonymous with poor quality.

Although buying imported budget steel shelving might seem like a good idea at the time, in the long-run you will end up paying out a lot more than you bargained for because you will soon have to replace it. Shelving made from imported, inferior steel, is nowhere as strong as shelving made from British steel. You will find that you are not able to store anything that is too heavy, and you will notice that the frame will start to twist over time. In some instances, shelving made from steel sourced from the Far East is so flimsy, it is possible to bend it with bare hands!

So can you buy shelving that is ‘budget’ and high quality? The answer is “Yes”.

Budget steel shelving made from 1mm and 2mm British steel is a strong and robust solution to your storage problems. It will last for years and won’t corrode. And as a bonus, you will be helping the British steel industry.

ShelvingDirect® not only supply high quality budget steel shelving, they also make it too. We operate under a strict quality control system and we can guarantee that all of our products are made to an exceptional quality standard and will last for years to come.

Do you find it hard to work when your office space is disorganised? When you have files and equipment lying around the office, not only is it a distraction, it’s often impossible to find that crucial thing you need.

Imagine how much easier it would be for you to be able to lay your hand on an important document kept in a box file that has been stored in an organised office shelving system. Just think of the amount of time you can save because you are not having to hunt through piles of paperwork to find anything.
