For years my company was an equipment vendor for grocery chains needing to recycle. This often put me attending store closure auctions where used store fixtures were being sold. The shelves used to display heavy canned goods is called Battleship Shelving and come in both single sided and double sided configurations. Since there are usually thousands of linear feet of the stuff being sold, its usually sold for dirt cheap.
I picked up several sections and used it for parts storage and such. It worked so well that I salvaged several sections for home use when we sold the company. Below is the latest configuration, after I gathered up and sorted all the metal stock I had cubbyholed around the shop. Yeah... it really was getting just a wee bit out of control...LOL
You can usually pick up small quantities of the stuff from those selling "Used Store Fixtures". (Check your local Yellow pages) Since it's rather difficult to store when disassembled, they are quite often happy to sell it for very little money. You almost can't overload these shelves and they take heavy abuse without complaint.
