Guide to Shelving

The Basics

Shelving types include stand-alone, track-mounted, wall-mounted, utility carts and more.

Quick Fact

Choosing the appropriate storage can play a role in improving staff productivity by making it easier for them to find what they need to execute the tasks at hand.

Cleaning and Maintaining

Maintaining shelving is important from a safety standpoint since corrosion can compromise the stability of these systems. Here’s how to properly maintain shelving units.

Did You Know…

NSF-listed epoxy-coated wire shelves and units made of composite materials are recommended for use in walk-in coolers and freezers, while some NSF shelving should only be used in dry environments.

Choosing Shelving

Space is a primary consideration when choosing shelving units for storage. For instance, those with smaller footprints might look to high-density or active-aisle type systems.

Employees forced to bend to the floor or reach overhead to pick up big, weighty items are more apt to get injured. For this reason, make sure shelf space between the chest and knees follows proper ergonomic standards.
