Built to be cut and fitted on site
Slotted angle is the most flexible family we make. Angle uprights and beams are punched with slots and bolted together, so the frame can be cut to size on site and built around pillars, corners and awkward rooms — no waiting on a bespoke factory frame. It is also the lowest cost per metre in the range, and because it is bolted rather than clipped, levels can be moved or extended later with hand tools. Sections run from 30×30 mm to 40×40 mm in 1.5–3.0 mm steel.
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
How much does slotted angle carry?
300–800 kg (660–1,760 lb) per shelf level, depending on the angle section and the span. The heavier 40×40 mm section at 3.0 mm carries the top of the range. Ratings are uniformly distributed loads with the bay level and anchored.
Can the angles be cut on site?
Yes — that is the main reason buyers choose this system. Lengths are supplied for on-site cutting, so a frame can be built around pillars, corners and irregular walls without a bespoke factory order.
Can I reconfigure a run after it is built?
Yes. Bolted assemblies can be unbolted, extended or re-levelled with hand tools, and extra angles and spare parts are always available to keep a growing run consistent.
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.
