Craven 4 Tier Nylon Coated Wire Shelving 1700x1475x391mm

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens, cold rooms, dry stores, and back-of-house areas. The shelves are constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating, which provides a cleanable, food-safe surface that meets NSF Food Hygiene Standards. Each shelf is removable without tools, and shelf heights are fully adjustable, allowing the unit to be configured around whatever you need to store.

In day-to-day kitchen use, this type of shelving earns its place through reliability and flexibility. The open wire design promotes air circulation, which is particularly useful in refrigerated environments — the unit is rated to withstand freezer temperatures down to -40°C, making it a practical choice for walk-in cold rooms and blast chiller areas as well as ambient dry storage. With an 800kg capacity per bay, it handles bulk ingredient storage, gastronorm containers, dry goods, and equipment without issue.

Practically speaking, operators value this style of shelving for a few consistent reasons:

• Adjustable shelf heights adapt easily as storage needs change
• Open wire construction reduces cleaning time and prevents moisture pooling
• Removable shelves allow full deep-cleaning access to the unit
• Available with castors where mobile storage is needed
• Nylon coating is hygienic, food-safe, and resists corrosion in damp environments

Installation is uncomplicated — the unit requires no fixing to walls or floors in most applications, though anchoring is worth considering in high-traffic or high-rack configurations for stability. At just under 19kg, the unit is manageable for two people to position. The footprint suits most medium to large kitchen storerooms, though it is worth measuring doorways and access routes before delivery, particularly for basement or mezzanine stores.

This unit is well suited to mid-size to large catering operations — hotel kitchens, contract caterers, school and hospital catering facilities, and busy restaurant prep areas. For smaller kitchens or tighter spaces, narrower or shallower configurations may be more practical. For very high-volume sites with exceptionally heavy loads or a need for bespoke bay arrangements, it is worth discussing heavier-duty or wider options.

If you are fitting out a new storeroom or cold room and want to make sure the shelving configuration works for your space and workflow, we are happy to talk it through.
