Long Span Racks

Long span racks manufacturer Ralbo EngineeringLong span racks are a medium-duty storage system designed for goods that are loaded by hand rather than by forklift. With wide, beam-supported shelves spanning longer distances than conventional shelving, they store cartons, totes, bins, archives and bulky non-palletised items efficiently and accessibly. As an Indian manufacturer and exporter, Ralbo Engineering supplies long span racking systems as complete bolt-together kits, engineered to your loads and shipped ready for quick on-site assembly.

Long span racking bridges the gap between light-duty shelving and heavy pallet racking. It carries more weight per shelf than slotted-angle shelving, yet remains fully hand-loadable, making it the ideal choice for stockrooms, spare-parts stores, order-picking areas, workshops and document archives.

What Are Long Span Racks?

  • Wide beam-and-upright structure that supports long shelves without intermediate columns.
  • Boltless beam connections that lock into upright frames for fast, tool-light assembly.
  • Shelf panels in steel, chipboard or composite board, selected to suit the goods stored.
  • Adjustable shelf levels on a standard pitch, reconfigurable in minutes.
  • Designed for hand loading — no forklift or mechanical handling required.

Key Benefits

  • Carries medium loads on wide shelves at lower cost than pallet racking.
  • Forklift-free design suits manual loading of cartons, totes, bins and bulky goods.
  • Boltless adjustable beams reconfigure quickly as stock profiles change.
  • Wide spans reduce the number of uprights, improving accessibility and visibility.
  • Choice of shelf material to match weight, hygiene and durability needs.
  • Durable powder-coated finish for long service in busy stockrooms.
  • Modular and expandable — add bays or levels as storage needs grow.

What are long span racks used for?

Long span racks store medium-weight, hand-loaded goods such as cartons, totes, bins, bulky items and archive boxes. They suit stockrooms, spare-parts stores, order-picking areas, workshops and document archives.

What is the difference between long span racks and pallet racking?

Long span racks are designed for medium loads loaded by hand, using wide beam-supported shelves. Pallet racking is built for heavier palletised loads handled by forklift. Long span racking is more accessible and cost-effective for non-palletised stock.

Do you manufacture and export long span racks?

Yes. Ralbo Engineering is an Indian manufacturer and exporter, supplying complete bolt-together long span racking kits with design support, documented load ratings and full export documentation.

What is the difference between long span racks and slotted angle racks?

Both are hand-loaded, but long span racks use boltless beams to span wider shelves and carry heavier medium-duty loads, while slotted angle racks are bolted shelving for lighter, smaller-bay storage.
