Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Shelving

For those exploring the world of commercial restaurant shelving, it's natural to have questions. Let's delve into some of the most common inquiries to give you a better understanding of restaurant shelves.

How much weight does commercial restaurant shelving hold?

Commercial shelves are often designed to handle significant weight. The exact capacity will depend on the specific model and its dimensions, but on average, commercial shelving can handle anywhere from 150 to 900 lbs per shelf. It's crucial to always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended weight limit to ensure safety and longevity.

What's the best material for restaurant shelving?

The ideal material for restaurant shelving depends on your specific needs and the nature of your operation. Stainless steel is highly recommended due to its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. However, for cold storage, plastic or epoxy-coated shelves are often preferred as they withstand cold temperatures and moisture well.

How to maintain commercial shelving in a commercial kitchen?

Maintaining commercial kitchen shelving involves routine cleaning to remove dust and food debris. For stainless steel shelves, use a mild detergent and warm water, while plastic or epoxy-coated shelves can be cleaned with a commercial cleaning solution. Regular inspections for signs of wear and tear are also necessary to ensure the longevity of your shelving.
