Novameta Metal Shelving Unit for Professional Kitchens, 1000x500x1800 mm

A metal shelving unit provides fixed horizontal surfaces at set heights, creating organised storage tiers in professional kitchens. The rigid frame bears the weight of ingredients, crockery, small appliances and bulk supplies without sagging, while the open design allows air to circulate freely around stored items. This prevents condensation and keeps foodstuffs at a stable temperature, an essential factor in food safety and shelf life. Shelving units also speed up workflow by placing frequently used items within easy reach and grouping related goods together, reducing the time staff spend searching for equipment or ingredients.

The operator assembles the unit by joining the vertical posts to the horizontal beams, then sliding each shelf into the pre-drilled slots. Once the unit is level and secure, items are loaded directly onto the shelves, starting with heavier goods at the bottom and lighter or less frequently used items higher up. The open construction means every shelf is visible and accessible from the front or sides, so nothing is hidden at the back of a cupboard. When the kitchen layout changes, the shelves can be repositioned or the entire unit relocated without dismantling.

The frame and shelves are constructed from metal, chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion in humid kitchen environments. Metal surfaces are easy to wipe down and do not absorb odours or stains, making them suitable for both dry and refrigerated storage areas.

The unit measures 1000 mm wide, 500 mm deep and 1800 mm high, providing a footprint that fits against walls or between worktops without obstructing walkways. Each shelf supports up to 120 kg, allowing bulk ingredients, heavy pots or stacked crates to be stored safely. The height of 1800 mm utilises vertical space in kitchens with high ceilings, while the 500 mm depth keeps stored items within arm's reach without overloading the shelves.

Cleaning involves wiping the metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying them to prevent water spots. The open design means there are no hidden corners where dirt can accumulate, and the absence of moving parts reduces maintenance to occasional checks that the frame remains level and secure.

The catalogue places this shelving unit in the storage and organisation section, alongside workstations and trolleys designed to streamline kitchen workflows.
