Novameta BHS-STL4-120-50-180 metal shelving unit for catering kitchens

A metal shelving unit provides rigid, open storage that lets kitchen staff see and reach every item without opening doors or moving trays. Shelves are fixed at set heights, so the space between each shelf is constant and predictable. This design eliminates the need for drawers or cupboards, allowing air to circulate freely around stored goods and reducing the risk of condensation or stale odours in a busy kitchen environment.

The unit stands on four vertical posts connected by horizontal beams. Each shelf is a flat panel laid across the beams, creating a stable platform that supports the full load without sagging. The open construction means there are no hidden corners or hard-to-clean recesses, so wiping down each shelf is quick and thorough.

To use the shelving unit, position it on a level worktop or floor where it will not obstruct walkways or fire exits. Load each shelf evenly, distributing weight from front to back and side to side. The maximum load per shelf is set by the manufacturer, ensuring the unit remains stable and the shelves do not bow under the weight of heavy containers or bulk ingredients.

Construction is entirely in metal, giving strength and resistance to moisture, heat and frequent cleaning. The unit measures 1200 mm wide, 500 mm deep and 1800 mm high, providing a footprint that fits neatly against a wall or between other kitchen fixtures. Each shelf can carry up to 120 kg, allowing storage of large stockpots, sacks of flour or multiple trays of prepared food without risk of collapse.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove all items, wipe each shelf with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly before reloading. The open design means there are no enclosed spaces where dirt or pests can accumulate, and the metal surface resists staining and corrosion from kitchen spills.

The unit is supplied as a single configuration with four shelves, fixed at standard intervals to suit typical catering storage needs.
