Novameta LSX1-170/50/30 Wall Shelf System for Professional Kitchens

A single-level stainless steel shelf mounted on the wall frees the worktop and keeps ingredients, tools or crockery within arm's reach without cluttering the floor. The LSX1-170/50/30 from Novameta is fixed with three brackets that spread the weight evenly across the wall, so the shelf remains level and secure even when fully loaded.

Wall shelving in a professional kitchen must hold heavy containers, stacked plates or bulk ingredients without sagging or shifting. The LSX system uses a rigid frame of stainless steel profiles and brackets that lock together at precise angles. This construction resists bending and vibration, so items stay in place during busy service. Because the shelf is open underneath, air circulates freely, reducing condensation and making the surface easier to wipe down between shifts.

To install the LSX1-170/50/30, mark the fixing points on the wall, drill and plug the holes, then bolt the three brackets into position. The shelf panel slides onto the brackets and is secured with stainless steel screws. Once mounted, the shelf sits 300 mm deep and 1700 mm long, giving a clear run of storage at a comfortable working height. The 50 kg capacity allows the operator to store heavy items such as stock pots, bulk spices or stacked sheet pans without overloading the structure.

The entire assembly is made from stainless steel, including the shelf, brackets and fasteners. Stainless steel does not corrode, does not absorb odours and can be cleaned with standard kitchen sanitisers, so the shelf meets hygiene regulations in food production and catering environments. The surface is smooth and free of crevices, so spills can be wiped away quickly and the shelf can be disinfected without dismantling.

The controls are the fixing points on the wall: once the brackets are level and securely fastened, the shelf requires no further adjustment. The load capacity of 50 kg is the maximum safe working weight; exceeding it risks permanent deformation of the shelf or failure of the wall fixings.

A shelf 1700 mm long provides a continuous run of storage that can be organised to match the workflow: one side for mise en place, the other for finished dishes, or the full length for bulk storage. The 500 mm depth allows two rows of standard gastronorm trays side by side, or a single row with space for taller containers. The 300 mm height from the wall to the underside of the shelf leaves clearance for cleaning underneath and for air circulation. The weight of the shelf itself is not stated, but the stainless steel construction means it will be substantial; moving it requires at least two people to lift safely.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the shelf and brackets with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry to prevent water spots. Because the shelf is open underneath, there are no hidden corners where dirt can accumulate. The stainless steel surface can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals without risk of damage or discolouration.

The LSX1-170/50/30 is one size in the Novameta LSX modular range. Other lengths and depths are available, and the system can be manufactured to individual drawings for bespoke projects. The manufacturer also offers full project development, from design and planning to installation, for customers who need a custom solution.

This shelf system is listed in the Novameta catalogue under wall-mounted storage for professional kitchens and food production facilities.
