If you want to create a more productive work environment, you have to have the right workspaces. That’s where longspan shelving comes into play. Check out the five ways our multi-functional longspan work benches and shelving will help make your business more efficient. Also, take a look at our longspan clothing rails – the latest warehouse storage rack solution.
The unparalleled flexibility of longspan shelving
With various height, length and depth options, you can customise our longspan work benches to create the exact workspace you need. Whether you’re looking for a compact workstation or a spacious assembly area, longspan work benches can be easily adapted to meet your requirements, providing a flexibility that every growing business should be looking for.
Longspan shelving provides adaptability and ease of movement
The mobility of longspan work benches is a game-changer. Designed for effortless and adaptable movement, these work benches can be easily transported around the shop floor or to any other area within your working environment. This feature ensures that your employees have access to all the tools and resources they need, wherever they are, without any disruptions to workflow.
No more tangled cords and limited access to power sources
Longspan work benches make it simple to install power sources in aisles without sacrificing any valuable workspace. This means you can easily integrate technology and equipment – such as computers or machinery – into your work environment. With power readily available at all workspaces, your employees will be able to work efficiently, without hassle.
Longspan shelving provides improved organisation and safety
Our work benches provide ample storage space for tools and supplies, allowing employees to keep their work area clutter-free. By reducing this clutter, staff can quickly find the tools they need, eliminating time wasted searching through piles and piles of items. Additionally, the open and accessible design of longspan work benches improves safety by minimising trip hazards. A perfect example of which can be seen above, with the eliminating of tangled power cords. This ensures that employees have sufficient space to move around freely.
Easily able to integrate with other longspan products
Our brand new longspan clothing rails are sleek, powder-coated and provide an unmatched warehouse storage rack solution for your workplace. Designed to integrate with existing longspan shelving systems, this versatile storage solution can be easily expanded as your business grows and come in two lengths – 1200mm and 1800mm. With all components sold separately, you have the freedom to design a storage solution that precisely fits your business needs, allowing you to build racking with the desired number of shelf levels.
These rails not only enhance front-line retail display, but also offer storage ‘behind-the-scenes’ for merchandise. With this in mind, you can mix and match longspan work benches with clothing rails that allow for a working environment that is spacious and multi-functional. One of our valued customers recently reported a boost in sales, attributing it to their new retail display. If you’re crying out for a warehouse storage rack solution – this is the one for you!
How have our longspan work benches helped other customers of ours?
We successfully introduced one of our valued customers, Father Rabbit, to longspan work benches. The challenge they faced was the limited workspace available and the need for quick and easy access to a wide range of products.
We proposed a combination of fixed and movable longspan benches with Melteca tops to address these challenges. To optimise the limited space, the benches were equipped with wheels, enabling staff to move them around effortlessly. The design of the frames also took into account the height of the staff members. For the non-movable benches, the tops were overlapped, providing oversized surfaces and creating more room for products.
Throughout the entire project, PRS ensured minimal disruption to the store, resulting in increased storage capacity, but most importantly, a highly satisfied client.

“Longspan work benches are versatile, heavy‑duty benches designed for warehouse and workshop operations where large workspace, storage flexibility, and durability are essential.
They help warehouses improve productivity by centralising tools and materials, reducing walking and wasted motion, supporting ergonomic working heights, and providing integrated storage solutions like drawers and shelves. Customisable configurations allow long benches to suit multiple tasks — from packing and assembly to sorting or quality checks — and can be mobile with castor wheels for workflow flexibility.
By using longspan work benches strategically across warehouse zones, businesses can maximise efficiency, reduce downtime, streamline operations, and improve staff comfort — all contributing to safer, faster and more accurate workflow.”
