  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A type of industrial shelving or racking system designed to store bulky, heavy, or irregularly shaped items that do not fit on standard pallet racking. It features long, unobstructed shelf levels supported by upright frames and horizontal beams, providing clear access for manual loading and unloading. Unlike pallet racking, which is serviced by forklifts, widespan systems are typically hand-loaded and are specified by their beam length, frame depth, and load capacity per level.",
