Novameta 1000 mm 4-shelf worktop storage unit

A stainless steel shelving unit provides organised storage above the worktop in a professional kitchen. The open wire shelves allow air to circulate around stored items, keeping ingredients and equipment at a stable temperature and reducing condensation that can lead to corrosion or spoilage. Each shelf acts as a separate level, so heavier items can be placed on lower shelves and lighter or less frequently used items on higher ones, keeping the workspace tidy and accessible.

The unit is assembled from vertical posts and horizontal cross-bars that slot together without tools. Shelves are laid onto the cross-bars and rest flat, distributing the weight evenly across the frame. The open construction means there are no enclosed spaces to trap dirt or moisture, and the entire surface can be wiped down quickly after service.

To use the shelving unit, the operator positions the frame against a wall or between other units, ensuring the feet are level on the floor. Each shelf is then loaded with items up to its stated capacity. The shelves can be adjusted in height by moving the cross-bars up or down the vertical posts, allowing the spacing to be customised for different sizes of containers or equipment. Once loaded, the unit remains static, providing a stable platform that does not require power or maintenance beyond routine cleaning.

The frame and shelves are made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, staining and high temperatures. The material does not absorb odours or harbour bacteria, making it suitable for food-contact areas. The feet are fitted with plastic caps to protect the floor and prevent the unit from sliding.

The overall dimensions of 1000 mm width, 400 mm depth and 1800 mm height create a footprint that fits against a standard worktop or wall, while the 1800 mm height allows storage up to eye level, keeping items visible and within easy reach. The 120 kg load rating per shelf means the unit can hold bulk ingredients, large containers or heavy equipment without risk of deformation.

Cleaning involves wiping the shelves and frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The open wire design means there are no corners or crevices where debris can accumulate, and the stainless steel surface dries quickly, reducing the risk of water spots or corrosion. The unit does not require disassembly for cleaning, and the shelves can be removed individually if a deeper clean is needed.

The shelving unit is supplied as a single article, with no variants or additional components listed.
