OUR Garage Shelving Solutions SHELVES

Our Garage Shelving Solutions Shelves

At Shelving and Storage NE, we have partnered with Garage Shelving Solutions (GSS) for our shelving systems. As part of this partnership, we share the following disclaimer from GSS:

Garage Shelving Solutions provides recommended weight ratings to guide the appropriate use of their shelving systems.

  • 300kg – General Use Unit
  • 500kg – Industrial Unit

These ratings are recommendations only, intended to help assess the suitability and expected performance of our shelving under ideal conditions. They are not certifications, and actual performance may vary depending on several factors.

Important Safety Note

To ensure continued safety and performance, we strongly recommend that customers engage a qualified racking inspector to conduct annual inspections of all shelving units. This helps verify that the system remains structurally sound and continues to meet its intended weight capacity.

General Guidance

  1. Basis of Ratings
    Our shelving weight ratings are based on standard industry practices and testing methods. While they reflect typical performance, real-world results may vary based on individual use cases and environments.
  2. Ideal Conditions Assumption
    The stated weight capacities assume installation under ideal conditions. Factors such as:
  • Shelf configuration
  • Load distribution
  • Floor surface
  1. User Responsibility
    It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate their unique storage requirements and select appropriate shelving systems accordingly. We recommend conducting a thorough assessment of the intended use and space.
  2. Installation and Compliance
    Proper installation is essential for safe usage. The surface on which the unit is installed, as well as any unforeseen site-specific issues, can compromise stability and capacity.
    Users must also ensure that their shelving installations comply with local safety codes and regulations.
    We cannot be held liable for any accidents, injuries, or damages resulting from:
  • Misuse
  • Overloading
  • Improper installation
  • Misinterpretation of weight capacities
  1. Product and Performance Variability
    Differences in manufacturingmaterial qualitybrand standards, and installation may affect how each unit performs. Our ratings may not account for these variations. Evaluating each shelving unit within its specific context is essential.

About Certification

We understand that questions may arise regarding certification. At this time, our units are not formally certified, and this is due to the following:

  • Installation Variability
    The performance of shelving units is highly dependent on how they are installed. Improper setup or unsuitable surfaces can negatively affect load capacity.
  • Application Suitability
    Each use case is unique. Environmental factors and the nature of the items being stored may influence the system’s effectiveness and safety.

  • You are responsible for ensuring that shelving units are used within the recommended weight limits.
  • Garage Shelving Solutions shall not be liable for any direct or indirect consequences resulting from the misusemisapplication, or overloading of our shelving products.
