Racking / shelving recommendations for shipping container

[6ply]

I need to buy some shelves/racks for a 20' shipping container. Lots of sturdy shelves ideally about 450 mm deep. I don't want anything flimsy nor do I want overly deep (pallet rack) units. Facebook and eBay are flooded with the same knock-together units of dubious quality. Does anyone have first-hand experience of buying shelving that is of reasonable quality at a sensible price? I will of course consider used shelving if I can find some locally.

Thanks.

You can alter the depth of pallet racking, that's what I'd use if it were me

As above reduce in width proper industrial racking, I would reduce it down to accommodate half sheets of ply to reduce wastage.

I got mine from here https://www.shopfittingwarehouse.co.uk/ Not too far from you in Wimborne, might worth a ride out to have a look in person.

I’ve got some of this, https://www.shopfittingwarehouse.co...o-250kg-udl-per-shelf-h1800-x-w900-x-d400-mm/ it’s been up for five years now without a problem, only comment is the chipboard shelves are thin will absorb any humidity.

We’ve also got a lot of their chrome shelving in the kitchen which is very good.

Ok, seen it many times but never looked at reducing the depth. I'll put it back on the list.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, wimborne is very local.

I bought a couple of these from screwfix, they seem fairly sturdy for hobby use.

3 bays of 5 shelves each. Commercial quality.

Paid £30 for the lot

I will continue to be on the lookout.
