Widespan Shelving

Widespan Shelving Systems for Canadian Warehouses

Widespan Shelving is a welded cross brace industrial shelving system built for bulk and lightweight items that are too large for standard shelving. Bridging the gap between shelving and pallet racking, it's designed for high-rise applications up to 22 feet. It can also be configured to support catwalks, mezzanines, and storage platforms. NAS Group supplies and installs Widespan Shelving for warehouses across Canada.

  • Welded frames for quick, simple assembly.

Open, Accessible Storage

Without cross bracing in the way, Widespan Shelving can be loaded and picked from any side, making it a practical heavy-duty shelving option for bulky or awkwardly sized items. Beams can be mounted on the side or front of the frame, so bays can be sized to fit your products.

Customizable Materials

Choose particle board, steel, or wood shelves, with wire shelving available for specific applications. Wood shelves sit directly on the beams for added strength, and steel shelves can be fitted with a compression clip option for extra flexibility.
