Expand Your Storage With Our Add-on Bays
Built for demanding commercial environments, the add-on bay delivers the same high-performance strength, adjustability, and reliability as the wider Mecalux longspan shelving range. Each extension bay includes one pre-assembled frame and a complete set of shelf levels. The UK Shelving team can help you install and assemble these units for your business.
Designed to connect directly to an existing longspan starter bay, the add-on shelving bay provides an efficient way to increase storage capacity without requiring additional standalone frames.
The boltless design ensures quick and straightforward installation. The beams can simply be connected to the new and existing uprights. These can then be secured using the supplied safety locking pins.
The shelving system is fully adjustable and adaptable, making it suitable for changing stock profiles and operational requirements.
