Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus 5 Tier Starter Unit 2140x1525x610mm

The Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus is a five-tier plastic shelving starter unit designed for use in commercial food storage environments. Built from a lightweight composite plastic material, it provides a non-corrosive alternative to chrome wire or stainless steel shelving, making it a practical choice for areas where moisture exposure and chemical cleaning are a regular part of the routine — cold rooms, walk-in refrigerators, dry stores, and wash-up areas being the most common applications.

In busy kitchen environments, shelving takes sustained punishment. The composite construction handles the daily knocks of loading and unloading without warping, rusting, or degrading over time. The non-porous surface resists bacterial harbouring, which matters in areas subject to food safety audits. Because shelf plates are dishwasher safe, cleaning down at the end of service is straightforward and does not require the unit to be dismantled entirely.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Non-corrosive material performs reliably in high-humidity and refrigerated environments
• Lightweight construction makes reconfiguring storage layouts manageable without additional labour
• Dishwasher-safe shelf plates reduce cleaning time at the end of service
• No rust risk eliminates a common cause of failed hygiene inspections
• Tool-free post-and-shelf assembly suits kitchens that reconfigure storage seasonally

As a starter unit, this shelving ships as a self-contained configuration with uprights and five shelf levels included. It does not require a wall fixing in standard use, though placement on a level floor is important for stability, particularly when fully loaded. The plastic construction means it is not suited to storing very heavy bulk loads that a reinforced steel unit would handle more comfortably. For sites needing to carry dense stock — catering tins, bulk dry goods at volume — it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty shelving system would be more appropriate.

This unit is well suited to small and medium catering operations, hotel kitchens, school and workplace canteens, and any site where corrosion-resistant, easy-clean storage is a priority. The starter unit format works independently or can be extended with compatible add-on units where additional run length is needed. For higher-volume storage requirements, larger or higher-capacity configurations are available in the same range.
