Wire Mesh Longspan Shelving Starter Bay
The standalone foundation of your heavy-duty storage system.
When you are building out a warehouse, workshop, or garage, you don't start with a "shelf" - you start with a Starter Bay. Engineered for high-density, heavy-duty hand-loading where standard retail shelving fails, this standalone unit includes two pre-assembled upright frames, recessed step beams, safety locking pins, and flush-fitting particle board timber decks. Built to support its own weight and your heaviest gear without needing wall anchorage.- Categories: Wire Mesh Longspan Shelving

The Foundation of Your Storage Setup
The Particle Board Longspan Starter Bay is Step 1 of any modular longspan configuration. Unlike Add-on Bays (which share an upright frame and must attach to an existing run), a Starter Bay is completely freestanding. Featuring two heavy-duty welded end-frames, it provides the structural backbone needed to store heavy tools, equipment, archive cartons, and bulk inventory safely.
Flush Step Beams & High-Density Timber Decks
Our step beams feature a precision recessed inner ledge. When you lay down the included high-density particle board timber boards, they sit completely flush with the top of the steel beam. This creates a smooth, flat surface that allows you to slide cardboard boxes and heavy tubs on and off without catching on raw timber or steel edges.
Complete Safety & Modular Expandability
- Pre-Assembled Welded Frames: High-grade structural steel uprights, powder-coated in gunmetal grey for maximum scratch and corrosion resistance in industrial environments.
- Safety Beam Locking Pins: Every beam includes heavy-duty steel safety pins that prevent accidental dislodgement from upward forklift bumps or hand-loading impacts.
- Easy Modular Growth: Need to extend your storage run down the track? Simply attach one or more Particle Board Add-on Bays to this Starter Bay to double or triple your storage footprint.
