Anti-static shelving is important for preventing damage to computers, data storage, and electronic devices. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can build up over time and damage sensitive equipment when placed on regular metal shelving. Our ESD-safe chrome wire shelving lets electric charge safely discharge into the ground, protecting static-sensitive devices such as computers, laptops, disk drives, monitors, and more. With high weight capacity shelves that are fully adjustable, our anti-static chrome wire shelving can be customised to suit the dimensions of your space and the objects to be stored.
We can supply parts to upgrade your chrome wire shelving to be ESD safe. Metal collars and feet let electricity pass from the shelves into the ground, preventing the build-up of static and sudden discharges. Adjustable height conductive feet and metal plates are available, with foot plates that can be screwed to the floor to prevent shelving racks tipping over. We also have a range of conductive anti-static castors and wheels for use with our chrome wire shelves. This allows the creation of ESD-safe trolleys for storing electronic components, parts, and static-sensitive tools.
Our antistatic chrome wire storage is perfect as ESD shelving for electronics workshops and ESD lab shelving. These static safe shelving units and trolleys can help factories, computer repair shops, IT departments, data archives, and offices protect their digital equipment and storage media. Made for professional use by a long-established UK company, our anti-static ESD-safe chrome wire shelving is built to last and will provide many years of reliable service. A 5-year warranty is provided with all our grounded chrome wire shelving.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ESD-safe shelving and why is it important?
ESD stands for electrostatic discharge, which is a sudden flow of electric current between objects. The high levels of heat produced by electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electrical devices and equipment. ESD-safe or anti-static shelving lets the current dissipate and prevents sudden sparks and discharge, which is essential when storing computers, monitors, and other equipment on metal shelving and racks.
What is the difference between anti-static chrome wire shelving and standard units?
Our ESD-safe chrome wire shelving has some simple modifications to make it safe for storing electronic components and devices. Conductive metal collars allow charge to pass from the shelves to the upright poles, while metal feet and conductive castors let current pass from the shelving unit into the ground. It is easy to convert our standard chrome wire shelving into anti-static shelving simply by replacing the collars and feet/wheels.
What types of equipment needs ESD-safe chrome wire shelving?
The types of equipment that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge include computers, monitors, disk drives, media drives, and more. Any device or equipment that uses microchips can be sensitive to static. This makes it essential to store this type of equipment on ESD-safe shelving.
What base options are there for ESD-safe chrome wire shelving?
To make sure shelves are properly grounded, they must have conductive feet or castors. We can supply metal screw-in feet for use with all our chrome wire shelving units. Triangular metal base plates conduct static and can be screwed to the floor to prevent storage racks from tipping over. Different sized conductive anti-static castors can be used to create ESD-safe and anti-static trolleys.
Where can these ESD wire shelving units be used?
Anti-static metal racks can be used to store electronic components and tools in production facilities, factories, repair workshops, and computer shops. They are great for IT departments and computer repair shops. ESD-safe chrome wire trolleys are handy for storing electronic components at soldering stations and in electronics repair areas.
Can you adjust the height of the shelves with these ESD-safe shelving units?
The upright poles of our grounded chrome wire shelving have height markings that allow accurate setting of the shelf height. The metal collars clip on by hand for easy adjustment of the height and position of each individual shelf.
How long will delivery take for our anti-static chrome rack shelving?
