Corner Shelf Units for 30% More Storage Without Expanding Floor Space
The Problem with Corner Shelving in Traditional Shelving Systems
After decades working businesses across various industries — — one issue keeps showing up:
Corners are not being fully utilized.
In most conventional shelving layouts, the corner shelving is the least accessible and least efficient part of the system. That section becomes a dead-zone. A vertical support post usually sits right in the corner, restricting access and cutting into the space utilization.
In tight office or warehouse layouts, that lost corner access means more than just inconvenience — It wastes valuable space, or creates awkward picking movements.
Why We Designed the ShelvingMate Corner Solution
At ShelvingMate, we’ve spent decades designing, installing, and optimizing high-quality shelving systems across North America.
We saw firsthand how the traditional corner-post design was holding clients back — especially in small storage rooms.
So we engineered the ShelvingMate Corner Solution — a structural redesign that removes the need for a vertical post at the corner joint. We created a clean corner with no obstruction.
This gives you full access to the corner shelving space — with no compromise on stability, load limits, or safety compliance.
This isn’t a shortcut or a patch.
It’s a solution for how corner shelving should work in real-world applications.
The Result: Up to 30% More Storage Access — Without Expanding Your Space
By removing the corner post and opening up the layout, it made improvements in daily operations:
- Easier hand-picking from corner bays — no post blocking reach or movement
- Faster visual checks and restocking, thanks to an open line of sight
- and most importantly, no wasted space or dead-zones
We recently upgraded a storage room for an office-based operations team in Ontario. Their existing shelving layout had multiple corner sections that were awkward to access and slowed down daily workflows. After we installed our Corner Solution, those hard-to-reach spots became fully usable, improving both access and overall storage efficiency — all without changing their floor plan.
