Medium-Duty Longspan Warehouse Racking – A Flexible Storage Solution for Industrial Warehouses
Medium-duty longspan racking is a storage system carrying 300–500 kg per level, with 1.2–2.7 m beams that need no intermediate support. Long Quyen designs and installs this racking for logistics, e-commerce and manufacturing warehouses that need to maximize space while keeping manual picking fast.
Overview of the Medium-Duty Longspan Racking Solution
Longspan racking sits between light medium-duty shelving and pallet racking, suitable for loose goods, cartons and irregularly shaped products.
Client
Logistics, e-commerce and manufacturing companies that need to optimize industrial warehouse space.
Scope
Medium-duty longspan racking with long beams that need no support in the middle of the span.
Requirements
Storing medium to heavy goods, with manual picking on the person-to-goods principle.
Long Quyen’s scope
Site survey, load calculation, choice of decking material, manufacturing and turnkey installation.
The Storage Challenge Before Installing Longspan Racking
Warehouse operating costs account for 30–40% of a company’s total logistics costs, mostly due to poorly optimized layouts.
High warehouse operating costs
An unscientific layout drives up storage costs while the overhead space remains unused.
Pallet racking does not fit narrow spaces
Pallet racking is fixed to standard pallet sizes and is hard to install in narrow or irregular warehouse bays.
Loose goods are hard to put on racks
Cartons, loose items and irregularly shaped products cannot be placed directly on beams without solid decking.
Slow manual picking
Without safe decking and proper access, staff waste time finding and picking each item.

The Long Quyen Solution for Medium-Duty Longspan Racking
Long Quyen selects beam configuration, depth and decking material to match the characteristics of the goods in each warehouse.
Dimensions customized to the site
1.2–2.7m beams and 300–1000mm depths fit even narrow warehouse bays where pallet racking cannot go.
Fully decked levels
Wood, steel, tempered glass or wire mesh decking creates a safe working surface for loose goods and cartons.
Person-to-goods layout
Staff walk to the goods and pick by hand, with no dependence on forklifts, keeping operations simple and low-cost.
Load calculation and turnkey installation
Uprights carrying vertical loads are calculated for the actual number of levels, then installed and accepted at the client’s warehouse.
Results After Installing Medium-Duty Longspan Racking
The warehouse makes use of its height, goods have clear addresses and picking is much faster.
Maximum use of warehouse space
Racking rising 3–8 levels turns the overhead space into useful storage locations.
Shorter picking time
Solid decking and route-based layouts help staff find and pick goods quickly without lifting equipment.
Stores many types of goods
From loose goods and cartons to irregularly shaped products, everything is stored neatly on the same racking system.
Safer operations
Standard perforated steel uprights with bolted connections keep the racking stable throughout its service life.
