Novameta 1200 mm 4-tier professional shelving unit BHS-STL4-120-40-180

A four-tier metal shelving unit provides organised vertical storage in a professional kitchen. Each shelf holds ingredients, crockery or small equipment off the worktop, freeing floor space and keeping items within easy reach. The open construction allows air to circulate, preventing condensation and maintaining hygiene between deep cleans.

The unit stands on four vertical posts connected by horizontal beams. Shelves rest on these beams, creating separate levels that can be adjusted in height if the design permits. The load is transferred directly through the posts to the floor, so the weight limit per shelf is determined by the strength of the beams and the stability of the base.

To assemble, the operator slides each shelf onto the beams at the desired height and secures it with the supplied clips. Once assembled, the unit is positioned against a wall or between other fixtures. Items are loaded from the front, and the open sides allow access from either end for longer trays or baking trays.

The frame and shelves are made of metal, chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion in a humid kitchen environment. The surface is finished to prevent rust and to make cleaning easier.

The unit measures 1200 mm wide, 400 mm deep and 1800 mm high. The width allows it to fit between standard worktops or under most wall cupboards. The depth is sufficient for gastronorm trays or large containers without overhanging. The height provides four usable shelves while keeping the top shelf within reach of most operators.

Each shelf supports up to 120 kg, so the unit can store heavy items such as sacks of flour, bulk liquids or stacked crockery without bending. The total weight capacity is four times the shelf rating, but the unit should be loaded evenly to maintain stability.

Cleaning involves wiping the shelves and frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The open construction means there are no hidden corners where dirt can accumulate. The metal surface can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals without damaging the finish.

The catalogue places this unit in the storage section, alongside other shelving and racking for professional kitchens.
