Tufferman

Tufferman, industrial and garage storage from Chelmsford

Tufferman Ltd operates as a supplier of industrial and garage storage equipment in the United Kingdom, trading online from its base at Boyton Hall Farm in Roxwell, near Chelmsford. Its catalogue is organised around five large families: shelving and racking, storage boxes and containers, workbenches and workstations, mats and flooring, and ladders, steps and platforms, complemented by sack trucks, trolleys and handling equipment.

The company presents itself as the exclusive UK distributor of Storalex, a brand under which it sells shelving systems with a five-year guarantee. It also states that its products are made with high-grade materials and tested to strict FEM standards in line with ISO 9001 quality standards, and it maintains a price promise: if an identical Storalex product is found at a lower price, Tufferman matches it and deducts a further 5%.

Shelving and racking for workshops, warehouses and garages

Shelving is the core of the range. The catalogue distinguishes garage, industrial, warehouse, stockroom, shed and workshop shelving, and adds specialised lines such as heavy-duty shelving, chrome wire shelving, melamine shelving, metal shelving, plastic shelving and twin slot shelving. Within racking, it lists pallet racking and longspan shelving alongside the Storalex SX200, SX340, SX400 and SX800 industrial shelving series.

The site also groups products into bundles, including shelving and box bundles and shelving and workbench bundles. Among the best sellers shown at the time of writing were the Storalex HRX industrial shelving unit (1,770 mm high, up to 600 kg, grey), the CRW industrial shelving unit (1,800 mm high, 500 kg, blue and orange), a three-unit VRS garage shelving set (1,600 mm high, 200/280 kg, blue) and the SX400 industrial shelving unit (1,980 mm high, 400 kg, chipboard, blue and orange).

Containers, workbenches and workshop equipment

Beyond shelving, Tufferman stocks plastic storage boxes, including Really Useful Boxes and Wham boxes, as well as Euro containers, tote boxes, pick bins, K-bins, studio boxes, recycling and waste bins, archive boxes, flexi tubs and outdoor storage boxes. Tool racks, roof boxes, cupboards and cabinets complete this section.

The workbench range covers garage, industrial and warehouse models, with chipboard or melamine worktops, plus workbench and shelf bundles and industrial workstations. For floors, the catalogue offers garage floor tiles, interlocking floor tiles, anti-fatigue mats, gym matting and wet area matting. Access equipment includes step ladders, fibreglass step ladders, warehouse steps, extension, roof, loft, telescopic and platform ladders, steps and stools, ladder accessories and work platforms. Handling equipment is limited to sack trucks, dollies, trolleys and sack barrows.

Design, quote and installation service

The website includes a service line labelled design, quote and install, aimed at customers who need support in planning and fitting their storage installations rather than purchasing individual units. Prices are displayed with the option to include or exclude VAT, and the company advertises next-day delivery availability and same-day dispatch on stocked items.

The site reported an "Excellent" rating on Trustpilot, with review counts of 16,356 and 15,213 shown in different places on the page, alongside individual product review counts. It also mentions a money-back guarantee and a price promise among its commercial conditions, and states that its industrial shelving has appeared in various magazines.
