Novameta BHS-STL4-140-60-180 metal shelving unit for catering kitchens

A metal shelving unit provides organised storage above the worktop without fixed walls or doors. It holds trays, containers and packaged goods on open shelves so kitchen staff can see and reach every item without opening a cupboard or moving another load. The shelves are level platforms supported by vertical posts; the posts carry the weight down to the floor, leaving the space between shelves clear for storage. This arrangement keeps the footprint small while offering several times the area of a single shelf, and the open construction allows air to circulate so damp items dry instead of moulding. The unit is assembled from separate shelves and posts. Each shelf is placed on brackets that clip into the posts at the chosen height. Once the posts are upright and braced, the operator loads the shelves one by one, starting at the bottom. The load capacity of each shelf is the maximum weight it can carry without bending; the posts must be vertical and the floor level to prevent the unit leaning or swaying under load. The seamless stainless steel frame resists corrosion from steam and cleaning chemicals in a busy catering kitchen. The shelves are flat sheets with turned edges for stiffness; the posts are square tubes with pre-drilled holes for the shelf brackets. No tools are required for assembly or adjustment once the posts are in place. The overall dimensions of 1400 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 1800 mm high set the space the unit occupies on the floor and the height it reaches. A load capacity of 120 kg per shelf means each shelf can hold a full gastronorm tray or several smaller containers without risk of sagging. Cleaning is done in place. Shelves and posts are wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent; no disassembly is needed. The open construction prevents dirt collecting in corners or behind panels, and stainless steel resists corrosion from kitchen moisture and cleaning chemicals.
