Rapid 1 heavy duty shelving—the original and still the best

Our Rapid 1 heavy duty shelving transformed the UK storage market when it launched in the 1980s as the first boltless shelving system of its kind. Forty years on, and still true to the original design, Rapid 1 remains the first-choice heavy duty shelving storage unit for stockrooms, warehouses, factories and depots across the UK.

What does Rapid 1 mean?

Rapid 1 stands for serious strength and durability. The strongest boltless shelving in our commercial range, its interlocking rivet design makes each bay quick and easy to assemble while delivering per-shelf UDL capacities of up to 800kg. That’s the weight of a polar bear. (No bears in your inventory? If you’re interested in medium duty shelving, take a look at our Rapid 2 system, or Rapid 3 for lighter duties.)

Heavy duty shelving you can trust

Tried, tested and trusted over decades, Rapid 1 provides the support you need to keep your workplace running smoothly. As a hand-loaded system designed for daily high-volume use, it’s independently tested to FEM industry standards—testing which replicates the demands of real-world environments like busy warehouses and storerooms.

The right storage for your business

It’s the combination of strength and exceptional versatility that makes Rapid 1 our top bestseller. The whole system is highly configurable. Start by selecting the shelf material that works best in your storage setting—choose from cost-effective chipboard, wipe-clean melamine and heavy duty metal shelving including galvanised steel and wire mesh (ideal for cold rooms, sterile areas or damp conditions). Then use the online configurator tool to view multiple dimensions and layouts. Don’t forget to view our multi-bay deals too.

Added storage and safety protection

Customise your setup further with our range of accessories including post protectors, floor fixings, tie plates for joining bays together securely, and handy end-of-aisle retaining hoops giving ladders, brooms and maintenance equipment a safe place to go.

Storing palletised goods?
