Dexion Longspan Shelving Upright Frame

Dexion Longspan Shelving Upright Frame Element – build wide-span storage that fits the goods you actually handle

When your storage includes bulky cartons, wide packages, timber and mould components, standard small-parts shelves quickly become a bottleneck. You need open, wide shelf levels, clear access, and a frame that stays straight and stable even when the bay is extended over time. The Dexion longspan shelving upright frame element is the basic building block that makes that possible.

This upright frame element forms the vertical side of the bay in a Dexion longspan shelving system. Depending on the market, the same type of solution is also referred to as longspan racking or wide span shelving. Once installed, you attach the horizontal longspan beams to create shelf levels, and you can continue the run by adding another upright pair in line.

Designed for large items

Longspan shelving is often chosen when you need wide, continuous shelf levels without intermediate uprights getting in the way. That makes handling easier for items that are large, deep or simply awkward to grip and place. With an open bay and clear shelf level, you can store and pick oversized cartons and irregular packages more smoothly and keep the storage area neater.

The same layout also works well for timber lengths and mould parts, where a clear, uninterrupted level makes it easier to position the goods and take them out without constant re-stacking. In many warehouses, that saves time every day because the goods are accessible and easy to see.

Modular storage that grows with your needs

Warehouses change. Product lines expand, packaging sizes vary and seasonal stock comes in. The advantage of a modular upright frame element is that you are not locked into a fixed-length shelving run. When you need more storage, you add a new upright frame element, continue the beam line and build new bays with the same system.

The beam connection is boltless. Beams lock into the upright slots and are secured with a quick locking method, so assembly is fast and the bay can be adjusted without complex work. This reduces installation time and helps keep downtime low when you expand or reconfigure storage in an active warehouse.

Dark grey RAL 7016 finish for a professional look

The frame is finished in dark grey RAL 7016, a colour that suits most industrial interiors and gives the racking a tidy, professional appearance. In practical terms, a durable powder-coated finish helps the shelving stand up to everyday wear and minor knocks in busy storage areas. The darker shade also helps hide small marks, so the installation keeps a clean look for longer.

Choose a size that matches your layout

The upright frame element is available in several standard depths and heights. This lets you plan bay depth according to the products you store and the aisle space you need for handling. Height is chosen based on building height, the number of shelf levels required and how you want to organise the goods.

Standard sizes for this upright frame element:

• Depths: 607 mm, 1007 mm, 1287 mm
• Heights: 2000 mm, 2250 mm, 2500 mm, 3000 mm

If you need a non-standard depth or height, special sizes are available on request.
