Archive Shelving Starter Bay 300 x 1000 mm

Dexion steel archive shelving starter bay with solid end panels

This Dexion steel archive shelving starter bay is made for simple, orderly A4 storage in offices, archive rooms and document stores. The bay is built from powder-coated steel and fitted with solid end panels. These closed sides are the key difference compared with open industrial shelving. They support binder rows at both ends, help files stand straight and reduce the risk of loose papers or slim folders slipping out at the side.

Starter bay for an expandable archive shelving run

This product is the starter bay, or basic unit, of the shelving line. It can stand as its own section, and it also forms the first bay of a longer row. When more capacity is needed, matching extension bays can be added to the same run. That makes the system practical for archive rooms where the amount of stored material grows year by year. Using extension bays is also a sensible way to build a long, clean shelving line. The starter bay gives the run its first complete frame. After that, each extension bay continues the row without requiring a full separate shelving unit at every joint. The required cross braces are included with this archive shelving.

Steel shelving with a durable powder-coated finish

The structure is intended for regular working use in offices and archive areas. The steel shelves and solid end panels give the bay a firm feel, while the powder-coated surface provides a durable finish for everyday handling. The light grey RAL 7035 colour is a practical choice for professional spaces. It fits easily into archive rooms, back offices, stores and shared work areas without drawing too much attention. Powder-coated steel is simple to keep clean in normal indoor use. Dust can be wiped from the shelf surfaces, and the finish is suitable for spaces where shelving must look presentable as well as function properly.

Load capacity for dense rows of paper files

Paper is heavier than it looks. A shelf filled with binders can put real strain on a light storage unit. This Dexion steel archive shelving has a shelf load capacity of 80 kg and a bay load capacity of 560 kg. Those figures make it suitable for dense rows of A4 binders, files and document material, provided the load is kept within the stated limits. The 80 kg shelf load capacity is useful when each shelf is filled across most of its width. The 560 kg bay load capacity gives the full section the strength needed for heavier archive use. As with all shelving, loads should be placed sensibly.
