Metal, Rivet, Widespan, and Boltless Shelving

Unlock Space in Your Warehouse with Quality Shelving

Warehouses today face a universal challenge: maximizing storage within limited space. As your inventory grows, effective organization becomes essential. Our industrial shelving systems can transform cramped areas into efficient storage zones.

Understanding Industrial Shelving Options

When regular storage isn’t enough, industrial shelving provides the organizational boost your warehouse needs. Our systems handle everything from small components to medium-sized inventory that doesn’t require palletization.

At Massey Rack, we specialize in two distinct shelving categories:

Metal Shelving – Perfect for organized, professional-looking storage with a sleek appearance. Rivet/Widespan/Boltless Shelving – Ideal for heavier loads and wider spans where standard shelving falls short.

Each system solves specific warehouse challenges and can be tailored to your exact specifications.

Shelving Solutions for Every Industry

Since opening our doors in 2010, Massey Rack has transformed storage spaces across Houston and surrounding regions. We don’t just sell shelving – we create custom storage solutions based on your specific requirements.

Heavy-Duty Metal Shelving

Our premium metal shelving undergoes a sophisticated manufacturing process that starts with carefully selected high-strength steel. Unlike typical shelving, ours features cold-rolled steel components, offering:

  • Superior surface finish compared to hot-rolled alternatives
  • Enhanced structural integrity through precise forming
  • Professional appearance for front-of-house applications

The production process includes multiple quality-control stages. After fabrication, components are thoroughly cleaned, dried to exact specifications, and finished with a durable powder coat. This electrostatically applied finish creates a surface that:

  • Resists scratching during daily use
  • Maintains appearance despite frequent contact
  • Prevents corrosion in varied environments
  • Stands up to cleaning agents without degradation

Space-Maximizing Rivet Systems

When standard shelving dimensions won’t work, our rivet shelving (also called widespan or boltless shelving) steps in. This robust system handles loads beyond typical shelving capacity while offering:

  • Tool-free assembly in most configurations
  • Unobstructed access from both sides
  • No cross-bracing to navigate around
  • Quick installation with minimal equipment

Our exclusive Low Profile series creates multi-level storage at remarkably competitive prices, often saving 20-30% over comparable systems.

Customer Success Stories

Our shelving solutions have helped businesses across diverse industries optimize their operations:

“We had a chaotic storage situation before working with Massey Rack. After assessing our inventory profile, they recommended a combination of closed metal shelving for our customer-facing areas and heavy-duty rivet shelving in the warehouse. The transformation was immediate – we gained about 40% more usable storage without expanding our footprint. Their installation team worked around our schedule and finished ahead of the projected timeline.” – Robert K., Operations Director, Gulf Coast Supply Co.

Common Questions About Industrial Shelving

What makes metal shelving different from rivet shelving?

Metal shelving typically features a more refined finish and standardized dimensions, making it ideal for organized storage of smaller items or customer-visible areas. Rivet shelving excels with heavier loads and wider spans, providing exceptional strength-to-cost ratio for bulkier inventory.

Will industrial shelving work in my retail space?

Absolutely. Many of our customers use our shelving in retail environments. Metal shelving works exceptionally well in stockrooms and can even be used on sales floors for industrial-chic displays. We can recommend specific finishes and configurations that complement your retail aesthetic.

What weight can your shelving safely support?

Our industrial shelving comes in various weight capacities:

  • Standard metal shelving: 350-800 lbs per shelf (evenly distributed)
  • Heavy-duty metal shelving: Up to 1,200 lbs per shelf
  • Rivet/widespan shelving: 1,500-2,500 lbs per level

We’ll help determine the right capacity based on your specific inventory profile.

Can I install the shelving myself?

Many of our systems are designed for straightforward assembly. However, proper installation ensures safety and longevity. For larger installations or multi-level systems, our professional installation service eliminates risk and saves time. We provide detailed assembly guides for customers preferring self-installation.

How easily can I expand my system later?

Our modular design philosophy ensures future compatibility. Add-on units integrate seamlessly with existing installations, and components can be reconfigured as your needs evolve. We maintain consistent product lines specifically to support long-term expansion.
