Product Description
The Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus Starter Unit is a five-tier open shelving system built from a composite plastic material that resists corrosion, moisture and the general punishment that comes with busy kitchen and storage environments. As a starter unit, it comes ready to stand independently and forms the foundation of a modular system that can be extended with add-on units as storage requirements grow.
In commercial kitchens, the main advantage of plastic shelving over wire or chrome-plated alternatives is straightforward: there is no metal to rust. In walk-in chiller rooms, pot wash areas, dry stores, and anywhere with regular wash-down routines, this matters. The material is robust enough to handle the daily loading and unloading that service demands without warping or surface degradation over time.
From an operational standpoint, this shelving earns its place through low maintenance and practical hygiene compliance:
- Non-corrosive composite material tolerates damp and humid environments without deteriorating
- Shelf plates are dishwasher safe, supporting efficient cleaning turnarounds
- Smooth surfaces wipe down quickly between services
- Modular design allows the unit to be extended as storage needs change
- Lightweight construction makes reconfiguration straightforward without specialist tools
At over two metres tall and more than 1.5 metres wide, this is a substantial unit suited to larger storage areas. It is worth confirming ceiling clearance and door access before delivery, particularly in basement stores or older kitchen buildings where access can be restricted. The unit is designed for indoor use in commercial environments and should be positioned on a level surface.
This unit is well suited to catering operations that need reliable, hygienic shelving in wet or humid storage areas — including walk-in refrigeration, pot wash zones, and dry stores. Smaller operations or those with tighter storage footprints may find a narrower or shorter configuration more appropriate, while high-volume sites with extensive storage demands may want to consider heavier-duty shelving designed for greater load capacity.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your storage layout or want to discuss extending it into a larger system, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the non-corrosive composite material makes it well suited to cold and humid environments such as walk-in chillers and refrigerated stores, where metal shelving is prone to surface rust. It is designed for indoor commercial use and handles the condensation and wash-down conditions common in refrigerated storage areas.
- The Camshelving Basics Plus range is designed as a modular system, so add-on units can be connected to this starter unit to extend the run along a wall. This makes it a practical choice if your storage requirements are likely to grow, as you are not committed to replacing the entire system.
- At over two metres tall and 1.5 metres wide, the key things to confirm are ceiling height, door or hatch access for delivery and installation, and available floor space with enough clearance for safe loading. In older kitchen buildings or basement stores, access routes can be a limiting factor, so it is worth measuring before ordering.
