Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus 5 Tier Starter Unit 2140x1525x460mm

The Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus is a five-tier freestanding shelving starter unit built from a lightweight composite plastic material. Unlike metal shelving, the non-corrosive construction means there is no risk of rust or corrosion, which makes it a practical choice for areas where moisture, cleaning chemicals, and temperature fluctuations are part of daily life — walk-in refrigerators, dry stores, pot wash areas, and general back-of-house storage.

In a working kitchen, shelving takes a great deal of punishment. Camshelving Basics Plus is engineered to hold up under regular loading and repeated cleaning without deteriorating. The shelf surface wipes down easily, and the shelf plates themselves are dishwasher safe, which removes the friction that comes with cleaning fixed metal shelving at the end of service. For operations running tight turnarounds, that straightforward maintenance routine has real value.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Non-corrosive plastic construction — no rust, suitable for refrigerated and wet environments
• Dishwasher-safe shelf plates — reduces cleaning time between services
• Lightweight build — easier to reposition or reconfigure than stainless steel alternatives
• Five-tier layout — maximises vertical storage in stockrooms and walk-in fridges
• Starter unit format — can be extended with add-on units to grow with your storage needs

This unit does not require any electrical or plumbing connection and is straightforward to assemble on site. At 1525mm wide and 460mm deep across five shelves, it occupies a reasonable footprint, so it is worth confirming clearances in your storage area before ordering — particularly in walk-in fridges where door swing and airflow circulation should both be considered. The plastic construction, while durable, is not intended for extreme point-load applications; for very heavy storage of bulk canned goods or dense equipment, a heavier-duty shelving system may be more appropriate.

This shelving unit is well suited to cafés, hotel kitchens, care homes, school catering operations, and food prep facilities where reliable, hygienic, easy-to-clean storage is the priority. It works particularly well in refrigerated environments where metal shelving would be a corrosion risk. Operations with significantly larger storage demands may find that extending with additional bays, or stepping up to a heavier-duty shelving range, better meets their requirements.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your storage layout or environment, we are happy to talk it through — it is worth getting right before anything arrives on site.
