Novameta Adjustable Shelf Module for Open Kitchens Z-H0-OPEN-40/63/86

An adjustable shelf module built for open-kitchen service lines keeps ingredients, crockery and small equipment within reach while the chef works. The unit stands on four legs whose height can be set individually, so the shelf stays level on uneven floors or slopes. A single shelf is standard; a second shelf can be ordered to double the storage without increasing the footprint.

The module is designed to slot into a run of similar units, forming a continuous worktop and storage line. Its open construction allows air to circulate, preventing condensation and keeping stored items dry. The shelf surface is flat and unobstructed, so trays, bins and containers slide on and off without catching.

To install, place the module where it is needed, extend the legs until the shelf is at the desired height, and lock them in position. The adjustment range of 65 mm lets the operator raise or lower the shelf to match adjacent equipment or to clear a floor obstacle. Once level, the legs are tightened and the shelf is ready for use.

The frame and shelf are made from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and durability in a busy kitchen. The legs are also stainless steel, with non-slip feet to prevent movement once positioned.

Controls are limited to the leg-adjustment mechanism, which uses a simple screw thread. Turning the foot raises or lowers the leg; a locking nut secures the setting.

The footprint of 400 mm by 670 mm fits into most open-kitchen layouts, while the adjustable height of 825-890 mm allows the shelf to align with standard worktops or other modules in the same range. The weight of the unit is kept low enough for one person to move it without mechanical help, yet the construction is rigid enough to support the load without sagging.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the shelf and frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The open design means there are no hidden corners where dirt can collect, and the stainless steel surface resists staining and corrosion.

An optional second shelf can be added at the time of order, increasing storage capacity by 20% without altering the module's external dimensions.

The module is part of the Novameta open-kitchen system and is designed to integrate with other Novameta units in the same range.
