Novameta 1500 mm four-shelf worktop storage unit

A stainless steel shelving unit provides fixed, open storage that keeps ingredients, utensils and small equipment visible and within reach. Shelves are rigid horizontal surfaces mounted at regular intervals on vertical supports. The open construction allows air to circulate freely, preventing condensation and keeping stored items dry. Because each shelf is fixed, the spacing cannot be adjusted, so the unit is best suited to items of consistent height such as trays, boxes or stacked containers. The absence of doors or drawers speeds access and eliminates hinges or runners that could trap food debris or require maintenance in a busy kitchen environment.

The operator loads each shelf from the front, placing items directly on the shelf surface. There is no need to slide or tilt trays, so heavy or awkward loads can be positioned safely. The 1500 mm width gives a long, continuous run that can hold multiple containers side by side without overhang. The 600 mm depth keeps everything within arm's reach, while the 850 mm overall height places the top shelf at a comfortable working level for most staff. Four shelves offer four distinct storage zones, allowing different categories of items to be grouped vertically and retrieved without bending or stretching.

The unit is constructed from stainless steel, a material that resists corrosion, does not absorb odours and can be cleaned with standard kitchen sanitisers. The load rating of 120 kg per shelf means the shelves will support bulk ingredients, stacked crockery or small appliances without sagging or buckling. The 1500 mm length and 600 mm depth determine the footprint on the floor, so the unit fits against a wall or between existing worktops without crowding the aisle. The 850 mm height allows it to slide beneath most standard worktops when not in use, freeing floor space during service.

Cleaning is straightforward: shelves are wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitiser, and the open frame can be reached with a brush or hose to remove dust or spills. Because there are no moving parts, no lubrication or adjustment is required. The unit is supplied as a single configuration with four shelves spaced evenly along the 1500 mm frame, and no variants or accessories are listed for this article.

In the Novameta catalogue, this model is placed in the storage and organisation section alongside other fixed shelving units for professional catering use.
