What is shelving?
Shelving is a general means to store cartons, totes, or individual pieces of products. It consists of shelves and vertical posts that are designed exclusively to hold a few hundred pounds on each shelf. Shelving created with a warehouse in mind is built to keep up with every heavy-duty and high-density storage requirement of the warehouse. Warehouse shelving helps to get things off the floor, take full advantage of space, and make things convenient to store, see, trace, and finally, take away for delivery.
