Widespan Bulk Shelving
Widespan or bulk shelving commonly referred to as bulk rackis the perfect solution for products that are too small for a pallet rack but too large for traditional shelving. This type of storage shelving system is best-suited for inventory that is individually handled and not on pallets.
Some businesses prefer this type of shelving because of its modular design and adjustable shelves which allows greater flexibility for expansions in the future. Companies with unique products that require piece-picking or that have a low turnover rate are ideallysuited for widespan shelving.

Many companies add this shelving after a pallet rack installation or assemble as a stand-alone unit.This type of shelving cannot be loaded with a fork truck only hand loaded.
