Quick Ship Steel Shelving

At AK Material Handling Systems, we stock three varieties of Tennsco metal shelving. Each Z-Line steel shelving application is designed to serve a unique purpose. They range in capacity from lighter to heavier duty, but all of them encompass the reputation for quality and performance that has come to be associated with Tennsco. Not only does the shelving we have display impressive strength and staying power, but its lack of hardware means assembly, disassembly, and adjustment are quick and easy. The only tools you’ll need are a rubber mallet and a little elbow grease.

Heavy Duty Z-Line Shelving

Heavy Duty Z-Line Shelving is made to hold up to the most demanding industrial steel shelving loads and uses 2 3/4″ profile shelves to provide the extra strength needed. The heavy-duty steel shelving beams can also accommodate wire decking for ultra-heavy storage applications.

Low Profile Z-Line Shelving

Low Profile Z-Line Shelving allows you to make the absolute most of your space by minimizing the vertical space used by shelves. Tennsco low-profile shelves are a measly 1 1/8″ tall, maximizing the clear space between steel shelving levels. Despite being short, these shelves are strong, maintaining an impressive capacity of 500-800 pounds per level.

Bulk Storage Shelving

Bulk Storage Shelving is another heavy-duty shelving solution for applications that require higher weight capacities. With an innovative Z-Beam design specifically engineered to store heavy loads, Tennsco’s Bulk Shelving can hold up to 10,000 lbs. per unit.
