Anyone know of a good source of second hand "Britsh Standard Shelving" - the sort with pressed angle uprights with holes every 2", and folded steel shelves. All the stuff I'm being offered, and the stuff on ebay has tacky chipboard shelves and clips together 'boltlessly'.
I need ten bays each 3 foot wide, 18" deep, five shelves and about 6 foot high overall. I used to have a firm in the Midlands who had masses of the stuff in good used condition but I've lost the contact details.

Do a google for "dexion shelving" or "dexion racking" Mark.
I'll bet Andrew means this stuff

Nope - that's 'Spur Shelving' or a copy thereof that projects from a wall.
Stuff I want is free standing industrial rather than shop / domestic

Do you really need to store that many kippers?

This any good my son?

There is a local firm to me "WS Supplies", during time with my old firm I organised 2nd Dexion type shelving from them, mostly the size you are looking for. Their details are,
WS Supplies Oxford
01865 881541Give them a try - only issue may be transport.

Good company that WS Supplies.Bought a lot of mezzanine flooring from them in days gone by.
Hi Andrew, seeing all the racking shown in the various replies I am surprised that the shelving I have been using for the last 45 years is no longer sold by anyone. I just dived into the workshop & took a couple of pictures. Sorry about the mess.8^) See
Googling Steel Shelving gets loads of hits.

Or just order a pile of angle iron and practice your welding.....
well for 45 years.
That's the sort of stuff !!!

You don't store Kippers, you consume them in a Kipper Orgy

Thanks John, I'll give 'em a call

There's a nasty and persistent pop-up ad page associated with those pictures Dave. Martin
That looks like standard lightweight Dexion. Don't try standing on it!. The clip together sections with chipboard shelves can be significantly stronger:-

Hi Martin, I am afraid that is because Webshots has started to add this to people who are not paying their charges. I agree with you that it is far too much & this will trigger me to get my finger out & give them the good B8llocking I have been thinking about.
The rapid racking stuff is virtually unbreakable, and not to easy to dismantle even though it's a fastener free system.
Not cheap, but I'm sure 2nd hand crops up. They are at the old RAF Kemble nr Stroud.

Ooops sent that to you direct in error mark
Actually, their prices seem very reasonable for commercial stuff.
I might stretch to using some myself. We have used their stuff in a few places at work for lighter racks (not the main steel stores, that'd be asking too much :-)
