Grooved Shelving
Grooved shelving uses posts with continuous grooves down the face, letting shelf supports lock anywhere along the upright instead of at fixed hole positions. That means truly stepless height adjustment — useful when you store awkward, mixed-height goods.

Built for mixed-height and awkward stock
The point of a grooved post is stepless adjustment. Instead of being locked to fixed hole positions, shelf supports lock anywhere down the face of the upright, so each level can be set to the exact height the goods need — useful for mixed pallet heights, tall cartons and anything that will not fit a standard pitch. Supports clip in without bolts, the post-to-shelf joint is designed to tighten under load, and corner or L-shaped runs are available for rooms where a straight bank will not fit.
Packing and container loading
Units ship knocked down. Uprights, beams and shelf panels are bundled and flat-packed, so a 40 ft container carries far more bays than it would with assembled units — which is where most of the freight saving comes from. Before dispatch we photograph the loaded container and send the loading record, so what leaves our floor is what you can check against your own receiving documents.
- Uprights, beams and panels bundled separately and labelled per bay
- Flat-packed to maximise container fill and cut freight cost per unit
- Container loading photos and inspection record sent before the ship sails
- Mixed sizes consolidated into one shipment against a combined MOQ
Frequently asked questions
What loads does the grooved system carry?
The range runs 200–500 kg (440–1,100 lb) per shelf level depending on shelf width and post gauge. As with every bay we sell, ratings are uniformly distributed loads with the bay level and anchored. Tell us the span and the load and we will confirm which post and support combination covers it.
How fine is the height adjustment?
Adjustment is stepless — a support can be locked at any point along the groove rather than at fixed increments. That lets you set level heights around the goods instead of designing the goods around the shelving.
Can I build a corner or L-shaped run?
Yes. Corner and L-shaped configurations use the same grooved posts and clip-in supports, so odd-shaped rooms can be fitted out without losing usable shelf area.
What is the minimum order quantity, and can I mix sizes?
1,000 sets per order (one set = one complete bay), trial orders from 500 sets on request, and mixed sizes count towards the same total. That lets you test several configurations in one shipment instead of committing the whole order to a single size.
Can you match our colour?
Blue, orange, black and grey are held in stock. Any RAL colour is available on request, matched either to your own brand or to racking already standing in the building.
Can I get a sample before placing a full order?
Yes. Samples are supplied against a small deposit, and that deposit is refundable against your first production order.
What warranty do you offer?
Warranty runs from the bill of lading date and is tiered at 1, 2 or 3 years depending on the product line. It covers manufacturing defects only; overload, misuse, and damage caused by the site or floor are excluded.
Can I arrange a third-party inspection?
Yes, and we welcome it. Inspection can be arranged at the factory before dispatch or at the port; the inspection fee is payable by the buyer.
What do you send me before the goods ship?
We send the inspection record and container loading photos proactively. Mill certificates, dimensional reports, coating thickness readings and load test reports are available on request.
What happens if the goods arrive damaged?
Send us photos or the inspection report and you will have a written resolution proposal within 48 hours of us receiving them.
