IronStor

IronStor, shelving and storage made to order in Stoke on Trent

IronStor is an online store for shelving, racking and storage equipment aimed at both commercial and domestic buyers. The company presents itself as more than a stockist: through its parent business Rackline, established in 1984, it states that it manufactures its own-brand storage solutions to order at a facility in Stoke on Trent. Rackline is described as certified to ISO9001 and ISO14001, and the company says it does not sell value-engineered imported systems.

The catalogue is organised around a broad product family rather than a single line, with shelving and racking broken down by setting, height and shelf material, alongside lockers, workbenches and handling equipment.

Shelving and racking ranges

Shelving is grouped by the environment it is intended for: garage, book, industrial, catering, office, workshop, library, archive, retail and general storage. The same logic applies to racking, which is offered for garage, book, industrial, catering, office, workshop, library, archive and retail uses, plus a boltless option. Buyers can also filter by height (up to 2m, and 2m and above) and by shelf material, choosing between chipboard and steel.

Among the named systems are the Speedrax shelving and racking systems, available in 2080mm and 2400mm heights and in standard and heavy-duty versions, with either steel or chipboard shelves. These are sold as three-bay bundles. The Profile line covers braced open steel shelving at 1875mm and 2175mm tall, also offered as three-bay bundles, and Profile racking bundles in the same two heights. Lloyd George shelving appears as a separate line.

Lockers, cabinets and workplace equipment

Beyond shelves, the range includes cube lockers, locker accessories, COSHH cabinets, Pure Lockers steel lockers in a range of styles and materials, and staffroom and employee lockers. Security cages are also listed, including a lockable mobile chrome wire version. For handling and workshop tasks the store lists industrial workbenches, warehouse steps, sack trucks and warehouse trolleys.

Storage for specific sectors

IronStor organises part of its offer by industry, naming catering and foodservice, warehousing and logistics, manufacturing, hotels and hospitality, electronics manufacture and ESD, retail, and healthcare and medical records. Within filing and organisation it lists Euro containers and tote boxes, files and stationery, Gratnell's trays and units, and accessories. The warehousing and logistics ranges are described as manufactured in the UK.

Delivery, pricing and customer feedback

The store advertises free standard delivery on selected products and states that price matching is available on certain items. Product listings show starting prices, for example the EZC bright chrome wire shelving from £82.80, the Speedrax 2400mm shelving system from £122.04 and the lockable mobile security cage from £549.60. The site displays a rating drawn from seven reviews, and quotes testimonials attributed to clients including County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, University of Dundee Museum Services, Cornwall Council Adult Social Services, the MOD, North Tyneside Council and P & A Shopfitting.
