Novameta Modular Shelving Unit 1900-6 for Professional Kitchens

A modular shelving unit organises dry goods, crockery and utensils in a professional kitchen by providing open, accessible storage at worktop height. The shelves are fixed at set intervals, so every item has a designated place and can be reached without bending or climbing. The open construction allows air to circulate, keeping stored items visible and reducing the risk of trapped moisture that can damage packaging or encourage mould.

The Novameta 1900-6 unit is a welded stainless-steel frame with horizontal shelves. Each shelf is a flat, rigid surface that supports evenly distributed loads without sagging. The frame is assembled from vertical posts and horizontal beams, creating a stable structure that stands on adjustable feet to level the unit on uneven floors. Shelves can be added or removed to match the height of stored items, and multiple units can be joined side by side to form a continuous run of storage along a wall or island.

To use the unit, position it against a wall or in an island configuration, adjust the feet until the frame is level, and slide the shelves into the slots on the posts. Load each shelf evenly, keeping heavier items on the lower shelves to maintain stability. The shelves are open, so there is no door to open or close; items are always visible and accessible.

The frame and shelves are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy that withstands frequent cleaning and exposure to moisture. The welded joints eliminate sharp edges and crevices where dirt could collect, making the unit easier to sanitise. The posts and beams are reinforced to prevent flexing under load.

The unit measures 1900 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 1800 mm high, providing a large storage footprint without occupying excessive floor space. The 600 mm depth matches standard worktop depths, so the unit can be placed against a wall without protruding into walkways. The 1800 mm height allows shelves to be positioned at comfortable reach heights for most operators, reducing the need to stretch or bend.

Each shelf supports up to 120 kg when the load is evenly distributed. This capacity allows the storage of heavy items such as bulk ingredients, large pots or stacked plates without risk of deformation. The load rating also determines how the unit is moved; a fully loaded unit is heavy and must be lifted with appropriate equipment or disassembled before relocation.

The unit is cleaned by wiping the shelves and frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The open construction means there are no hidden surfaces that require special tools or disassembly. The stainless steel surface resists staining and does not absorb odours, so the unit remains hygienic with routine cleaning.

Variants include a lowered version at 1600 mm height, which can be specified at the time of order. The unit can also be customised in size and design by consulting Novameta specialists, allowing the shelving to fit non-standard spaces or match specific storage requirements.
