Office shelving

Office shelving units are storage space systems specially designed for the office area, which are used in particular as file shelving for the structured storage of files, books and documents. The shelves and dimensions are designed so that classic files, for example in A4 format with approx. 318 × 285 × 80 mm, can be stored securely, clearly and in a space-saving manner. This is why office shelving is also known as file shelving.

Office shelving for files in particular ensures efficiency in everyday working life thanks to its well thought-out dimensions and load capacity. Whether as an open model or a closed system, a solid shelving unit in the office offers lasting order, protection and clarity.
