Novameta BHS-STL4-120-60-180 metal shelving unit

A metal shelving unit provides organised storage by supporting trays, containers or loose items on horizontal shelves. The shelves rest on vertical posts, creating separate levels that keep supplies visible and accessible without stacking. This arrangement allows kitchen staff to group ingredients, utensils or prepared dishes by type or by service stage, reducing search time and preventing cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat items.

The operator loads each shelf by placing items directly onto the surface or into standardised gastronorm trays that slide into position. The unit stands on adjustable feet that level the frame on uneven floors, ensuring stability even when fully loaded. Once in place, the shelves remain fixed at set heights, so the spacing between levels cannot be altered without repositioning the support brackets.

Construction consists of steel posts and shelves, finished with a protective coating that resists corrosion in humid kitchen environments. The posts slot into base plates and are secured with locking pins, forming a rigid frame that does not sway under load. Shelves clip onto the posts at standardised intervals, allowing the unit to be assembled without tools.

Each shelf supports a distributed load of up to 120 kg, enabling storage of bulk dry goods, stacked crockery or heavy equipment such as food processors. The overall dimensions of 1200 mm width, 600 mm depth and 1800 mm height create a footprint that fits against a wall or between worktops, while the 1800 mm height maximises vertical space in rooms with standard ceiling clearance.

Cleaning involves wiping the coated steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dust or spills. The open frame design prevents dirt from accumulating in corners, and the absence of moving parts eliminates maintenance beyond occasional tightening of the locking pins if the unit is relocated.

The catalogue places this model in the storage and organisation section, under static shelving units for professional catering environments.
