Novameta Welded Perforated Shelving Unit 1800 × 700 mm

Perforated shelving units organise ingredients, utensils and prepared dishes in a professional kitchen by allowing air to circulate freely around stored items. The open design prevents moisture from collecting on surfaces, reducing the risk of spoilage and bacterial growth. Each shelf is a rigid platform that supports weight evenly, so heavy containers or bulk supplies do not sag or tip. The perforations also make the shelves lighter than solid ones, which eases handling when the unit is moved or reconfigured.

The operator assembles the unit by placing the shelves at the desired heights on the vertical supports, then secures them with the supplied clips or brackets. Once assembled, the shelves are loaded from the front or sides, with heavier items placed on the lower shelves for stability. The perforations allow spills to drain through rather than pooling on the shelf, which simplifies cleaning and keeps stored items dry.

Construction is welded stainless steel, giving a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that withstands frequent washing and exposure to kitchen humidity. The perforations are punched in a uniform pattern, ensuring consistent strength across the entire shelf area. The unit's footprint of 1800 mm length and 700 mm width fits standard worktop depths and walk-in storage layouts, while the 1800 mm height allows multiple shelves to be installed within a typical kitchen ceiling height.

Each shelf supports up to 120 kg, which means it can hold bulk ingredients in large containers, stacks of trays or heavy equipment without bending. The load rating also determines how the unit is positioned: it must stand on a level, rigid floor that can bear the combined weight of the shelves and their contents. The perforated design does not alter the load capacity but reduces the overall weight of the shelving, making it easier to move or adjust without compromising strength.

Cleaning involves wiping the shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allowing them to air-dry. The perforations prevent water from pooling, so drying is faster than with solid shelves. The welded joints eliminate crevices where dirt or grease could accumulate, reducing the time needed for deep cleaning. The stainless steel surface resists staining and corrosion, so the shelves maintain their appearance and hygiene over prolonged use.

The unit is supplied as a set of shelves and vertical supports, allowing the operator to configure the number and spacing of shelves to suit the storage needs of the kitchen. No additional tools or fittings are required for assembly beyond those included with the unit.
