Heavy Duty Racking System for Garages and Workshops

A heavy duty racking system needs to do more than hold a few boxes. In a working garage or workshop, storage has to cope with tools, equipment and regular use while keeping everything accessible and properly organised.

SQUIREL modular racking is made in the UK from precision-machined plywood, combining substantial load capacity with a clean finish and a modular structure that can be expanded as your storage requirements change.

With a recommended load of up to 100kg per shelf when evenly distributed, it is built for garages and workshops that get used.

Heavy duty garage racking that fits your space

Garage storage requirements rarely stay the same for long. Tools accumulate, projects change and new equipment needs somewhere to go.

SQUIREL takes a modular approach to heavy duty garage racking. You can start with the storage you need now, then add height or extend the system along the wall later using compatible modules.

For anyone looking for heavy duty racking for garage storage, this means the layout can develop around the available space rather than being fixed from the outset.

Strength matters, but load capacity is only part of what makes garage or workshop storage suitable for regular use.

SQUIREL modules are made from precision-machined plywood for a strong, stable structure. Shelves feature a hard-wearing phenolic resin surface with an anti-slip texture, helping tools, boxes and equipment stay securely in place while protecting the shelving from everyday wear.

Each shelf has a recommended load capacity of up to 100kg when the weight is evenly distributed. The coated surface is also resistant to moisture and common workshop chemicals.

For anyone looking for heavy duty garage shelving in the UK, the system offers substantial storage without the industrial appearance of conventional metal racking.

Build your heavy duty racking system

SQUIREL modules work together, giving you different ways to build a heavy duty racking system around your garage or workshop.

The Starter Kit

The Starter Kit forms the foundation of the system, with a base unit, adjustable feet and two static shelves.

Use it as a standalone storage module or as the starting point for a larger setup.

The Shelves

The Shelves provides a larger open shelving configuration for tools, equipment, storage boxes and supplies that need to remain visible and easy to reach.

Depending on the configuration, it includes four or five static shelves and remains part of the wider modular system.


The One Up

The One Up adds another level vertically without taking up additional floor space.

It is particularly useful where wall height is available and you want to increase storage capacity within the same footprint.

The One Out

The One Out extends the system horizontally, allowing you to continue your storage along the available wall space.

It gives you a practical way to build heavy duty racking for a garage without being restricted to the width of a single unit.

Storage needs change as the garage changes. A simple setup may eventually need to accommodate more tools, heavier equipment or a larger working area.

SQUIREL is designed so you can add further modules vertically or horizontally without making your original setup redundant. That gives you more flexibility to increase capacity while keeping the system consistent across the space.

For customers looking for a heavy duty racking system in the UK, designed for real garage and workshop use, the modular approach keeps storage practical over the longer term.


A workshop racking system designed for real use

SQUIREL was developed from experience in automotive development workshops, where good storage needs to support the way the space is actually used.

Open shelving keeps frequently used equipment accessible, while drawers and doors can be added where smaller items or enclosed storage make more sense. Because each element belongs to the same modular system, the finished setup can be planned as one coherent workspace rather than a collection of separate storage units.

The same approach works across home garages, enthusiast spaces and working workshops, whether you need a compact section of shelving or a larger workshop racking system.
