Shelving is a term used to describe more than one shelf. Shelving used in an industrial application is referred to as industrial shelving. Industrial shelving is generally composed of metal components which create a multi-level shelf system that can support a wide range of materials both in weight and in size.
Industrial shelving allows warehouse inventory to be stored more efficiently by providing organization and increased warehouse storage density.
