Novameta Modular Shelving Unit 1100 for Professional Kitchens

A modular shelving unit organises dry goods, crockery and kitchen tools in a way that keeps them visible, accessible and off the worktop. Each shelf acts as a separate platform, so items do not stack on top of each other and crush or topple. The open construction allows air to circulate, reducing condensation and keeping stored foodstuffs drier than they would be in a closed cupboard. Because the shelves are fixed only at the corners, the unit can be dismantled quickly for deep cleaning or for reconfiguration when the kitchen layout changes.

The operator assembles the unit by slotting vertical posts into base feet, then clipping horizontal beams into the posts at the desired height. Shelves are laid across the beams and secured with plastic clips. Once the unit is upright, each shelf is loaded with up to 120 kg of evenly distributed weight. Items are placed directly on the shelf surface; no additional tray or container is required. When the kitchen needs to reconfigure storage, the shelves are unclipped, the beams are unhooked and the posts are lifted out of the feet, allowing the entire unit to be moved or stored flat.

The Novameta BHS-SRL4-110-40-180 is built from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitisation in a professional kitchen. The 1100 mm width provides a long, continuous shelf that can hold large trays or multiple smaller containers side by side. The 400 mm depth keeps stored items within easy reach, while the 1800 mm height allows the unit to rise close to the ceiling, maximising vertical space in a commercial kitchen where floor area is limited. Each shelf's 120 kg load rating means it can support bulk ingredients, stacked plates or heavy equipment without bending.

Cleaning is carried out by removing all items, wiping the shelves and posts with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then allowing the unit to air-dry. Because the construction is open and there are no enclosed spaces, no moisture is trapped and no mould can develop. The plastic clips that secure the shelves can be washed separately and replaced if they become worn.

The unit is supplied as a single article, BHS-SRL4-110-40-180, and is classified in the catalogue under modular storage systems for professional catering.
