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.

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.
