Wire Mesh Longspan Shelving
Fire-compliant, ventilated mesh deck shelving designed for maximum safety, light, and airflow.
When warehouse safety regulations require overhead fire sprinkler penetration, Wire Mesh Longspan Shelving is the industry standard. Built with heavy-duty steel wire mesh drop-in decks that sit flush inside powder-coated step beams, this system allows water to pass through in an emergency while preventing dust accumulation. The open-mesh design also improves overhead lighting on lower shelves and promotes continuous air circulation.

How to Configure Your Longspan Run
Starter Bay
The standalone base unit. Includes 2 end upright frames and beam levels. Every continuous run of shelving requires exactly one Starter Bay to begin.
Add-on Bay
Connects directly into your Starter Bay to extend the row. Includes only 1 end frame, sharing the common upright to save cost and floor footprint.
Extra Shelf Levels
Standard bays include set levels. Add supplementary beams, wire mesh decks, and locking pins here to maximise density for smaller stock.
