Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus Add-On Unit 4 Tier Vented 1830x1023x540mm

The Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus Add-On Unit is a four-tier plastic shelving unit designed to extend an existing Camshelving Basics Plus stationary installation. It is not a standalone unit — it connects directly to an adjoining stationary unit, sharing one post kit to create a continuous shelving run without reducing load-bearing capacity across the assembly. Each add-on ships complete with the post kit, traverses, and shelf plates needed to complete the connection.

The vented shelf design promotes air circulation throughout the unit, which is particularly useful in dry stores and walk-in cold rooms where airflow around stored goods matters for both food safety and stock rotation. The plastic construction makes it genuinely resistant to the damp, temperature-variable conditions found in cold rooms and prep areas — conditions that cause conventional steel shelving to corrode over time.

From an operational standpoint, the shelving offers several practical advantages for busy kitchen environments:

• Shelf plates are removable and dishwasher-safe, making thorough cleaning straightforward without dismantling the whole unit
• Shelf heights are adjustable, so the configuration can be changed as storage requirements shift
• Add-on units can be arranged in straight runs, L-shapes, or T-shapes, helping operators make efficient use of irregular or corner spaces
• At 19.2kg for the add-on components, the unit is manageable to install and reposition if the layout needs to change

Before ordering, it is important to confirm you already have a compatible Camshelving Basics Plus stationary unit in place — this add-on will not connect to other Camshelving series or third-party shelving. Consider the floor space carefully: the 1023mm width suits most standard storage rooms, but in tighter areas it is worth measuring access routes as well as the final footprint. For sites with very high stock volumes or a need for multiple runs, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty shelving solution would better suit the throughput.

This unit works well in small to mid-sized catering operations, hotels, care homes, and school kitchens where reliable dry or cold-room storage is needed and the existing Camshelving Basics Plus range is already in use. If you are starting a shelving layout from scratch or are unsure which configuration best suits your storage room, we are happy to talk it through before you order.
