Stainless Steel Shelving Unit

Applications & Use Cases

• Storage of samples, reagents, and small equipment in laboratory environments.
• Organisation of tools and components in workshops or light industrial settings.
• Holding ingredients and utensils in food preparation areas.
• Display and storage in cleanroom or sterile environments.
• General purpose storage in environments requiring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by unit; typically designed for loads ranging from 50kg to 200kg per shelf, depending on gauge and construction.

Power supply

This is a passive storage unit and does not require a power supply.

Material

Typically constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, offering good corrosion resistance. Some units may use 316-grade for enhanced chemical resistance.

Number of shelves

Commonly features between 3 and 5 adjustable shelves, though fixed shelf designs are also available.

Footprint

Available in various dimensions; common widths range from 600mm to 1500mm, and depths from 300mm to 600mm. Height is typically between 1500mm and 2000mm.

Assembly

Many units are supplied flat-packed for self-assembly, often utilising bolt-free or simple bolt-together designs. Welded units offer greater rigidity.

Maintenance requirements

Requires routine cleaning with appropriate stainless steel cleaners to maintain hygiene and appearance. No mechanical maintenance is typically required.
