Industrial Shelving

Open shelving lets you see and reach stored items from more than one side, which makes it ideal for busy picking areas where speed matters. Closed industrial shelving encloses items behind panels or doors for added security and dust protection, so it suits confidential files or specialized tools you would rather keep out of sight. Many warehouses use both styles together, placing open units in high-traffic zones and closed units where security is the priority.

Weight capacity varies by shelving type, ranging from lighter chrome wire units built for moderate loads up to heavy-duty bulk storage shelving rated for several thousand pounds per bay. E-Z-Rect and bin shelving systems are designed for dense, evenly distributed storage, while multi-level shelving spreads heavier loads across additional tiers to make better use of vertical space. Since the right rating depends on what you are storing and how it is loaded, our team can review your inventory and match you with shelving built for your specific weight requirements.

Mobile shelving sits on tracks so entire rows slide together, meaning you only need to keep one aisle open instead of an aisle in front of every row. This makes it a good fit for facilities where floor space is limited, such as archive rooms or dense storage areas that do not need constant access to every shelf. We carry manual, mechanical, and powered mobile shelving, so the level of automation can match your budget and how often you need to access stored items.

Archive shelving units are built specifically for boxed files and documents, with shelf spacing designed around standard file box dimensions rather than general warehouse goods. For facilities with growing volumes of records, mobile shelving or multi-level shelving can add capacity within the same footprint by making use of vertical space or reducing aisle requirements. If your records need to stay secure as well as organized, closed industrial shelving or locking storage cabinets can be paired with your archive units.

Yes. Systems such as E-Z-Rect Type 1 and E-Z-Rect Trimline shelving are built around starter and add-on units, so a run of shelving can be extended or reconfigured as your storage needs change. Shelf heights and depths can also be adjusted within most of our shelving lines, along with accessories such as wire mesh shelves or modular drawer systems. Because layouts differ from one facility to the next, our team can help design a configuration around your existing floor plan rather than asking you to work around a fixed size.

We offer professional installation services for customers who want their shelving set up and ready to use without dedicating internal labour to the project. Self-assembly is also an option for warehouses that prefer to install shelving with their own crews, and our team can walk through the process with you either way. Either route includes access to the same design guidance, so the shelving is configured correctly before it goes into use.

The right shelving depends on factors like item size, weight, how often you need access, and the floor space available in your facility. We offer a free consultation and a shelving selection flowchart to help narrow down the right fit before you commit to a system. Call us at 604-980-8511 to talk through your storage layout with a member of our team, and we can recommend a shelving solution suited to how your warehouse actually operates.
