Novameta Metal Shelving Unit for Catering Workspaces

A static shelving unit provides unpressurised, open storage above the worktop. It holds ingredients, crockery, utensils and small appliances without moving parts or power. The shelves rest on vertical posts, creating horizontal tiers that keep items visible and accessible. This arrangement maximises vertical space in a kitchen where floor area is limited, allowing staff to reach supplies without bending or climbing. Because the unit is freestanding, it can be positioned against a wall or in the centre of the workspace, adapting to the kitchen's layout.

The operator loads each shelf by placing items directly onto the metal surface. There are no doors, drawers or dividers, so everything remains in view and can be retrieved without opening or searching. The shelves are fixed at equal intervals, preventing taller items from blocking access to those below. Once loaded, the unit requires no further adjustment or maintenance beyond routine cleaning.

Constructed from metal, the unit withstands the weight and humidity of a professional kitchen. The material does not absorb moisture, odours or stains, and resists corrosion from spills and cleaning chemicals. The shelves and posts are assembled with bolts, allowing the unit to be dismantled for relocation or storage.

The unit measures 900 mm in width, 500 mm in depth and 1800 mm in height. These dimensions create a footprint that fits between standard worktops and under most ceiling heights, while the 500 mm depth allows items to be placed at the back without overhanging the edge. Each shelf supports up to 120 kg, accommodating bulk ingredients, stacked plates or small appliances without sagging. The height of 1800 mm provides four usable tiers, doubling the storage capacity of a single worktop.

Cleaning involves wiping the metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The open design prevents dust and debris from accumulating in corners or behind doors. The unit can be dismantled for thorough cleaning or to move through narrow doorways.

The Novameta BHS-STL4-90-50-180 is a single model without variants. It is categorised under static shelving in the catalogue.
