Following on from the announcement of a partnership agreement between Linpac Storage Systems and the META company of Germany, Linpac Storage Systems ha launched a versatile new range of META shelving which is now available in the UK.

With its simple, boltless construction, the comprehensive META range of adjustable shelving is suitable for multiple applications across a wide range of business sectors from retail to automotive and from offices to general industry.

David Sheppard, general manager of Linpac Storage Systems comments: “Our customers are looking for safe, fully integrated shelving systems that can be delivered in short lead times and are competitively priced, we now have the answer with this boltless range from META.

“It’s an industrial strength shelving range that specialises in the storage of small and medium sized parts. Shelf load requirements can be optimised as we can offer a diverse range of shelves, from 80kg loading up to a high rating of 400kg.

“There is no need to paint the shelving as the range is pre galvanised, guaranteeing complete corrosion protection. In addition, there is a pre galvanised, powder coated option in a light grey finish. ”To future proof the META shelving system, it can be built as a multi-tier structure with a high bay loading of up to 3,700kg. It is also compatible for use with an automated mini load system.

Assembly is a fast build, boltless exercise as the META shelves clip securely into the uprights, with adjustability at 25mm vertical centres.
