Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus 5 Tier Starter Unit
£263.00(£315.60 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus starter unit is a five-tier open shelving system designed for general storage use in commercial kitchens, prep areas, dry stores, and walk-in refrigeration. It is constructed from a composite plastic material that does not corrode, rust, or absorb moisture — a practical advantage over wire or steel shelving in damp or cold environments.
In day-to-day kitchen use, the non-corrosive construction holds up well under the cleaning regimes that commercial kitchens demand. There are no metal components vulnerable to rust from repeated washing or condensation, which is particularly relevant in refrigerated or high-humidity environments. The shelf plates are dishwasher safe, which reduces the time spent on manual cleaning during changeovers.
From an operational standpoint, this unit offers a number of practical benefits:
- Lightweight composite material makes repositioning and reconfiguring straightforward without heavy lifting
- Non-porous surfaces resist bacterial harbouring and wipe clean quickly during service
- Dishwasher-safe shelf plates reduce manual cleaning time between uses
- No corrosion risk makes it suitable for refrigerated storage and wet prep areas
- Starter unit format means additional shelving can be added as storage needs grow
Installation is straightforward — the unit is free-standing and requires no fixings, power, or drainage. At just over two metres tall and 1220mm wide, it is worth confirming ceiling clearance and doorway access before delivery, particularly in older kitchen builds. The 540mm shelf depth is well suited to standard catering trays and gastronorm containers.
This unit is a sensible choice for small to mid-sized operations looking for reliable, hygienic dry or refrigerated storage. Larger sites with higher throughput or heavier load requirements may find a heavier-duty shelving system better suited to their needs.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your storage layout or whether a different configuration would serve you better, the team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is this shelving unit suitable for use inside a walk-in refrigerator or cold room?
Yes — the composite plastic material does not corrode or rust, which makes it a practical choice for refrigerated environments where condensation and moisture are a regular factor. It is commonly used in both ambient dry stores and refrigerated storage.
What does 'starter unit' mean, and can I add more shelving later?
A starter unit is a self-contained bay that includes all the components needed to stand alone. Camshelving systems are modular, so add-on units can be connected to expand your run — useful if your storage requirements are likely to grow or if you are fitting out in stages.
How much weight can each shelf support, and is this unit suitable for heavy dry goods?
Cambro does not publish a per-shelf load rating in the standard product data for this range, so we would recommend contacting us before committing if you are planning to store particularly heavy items. For bulk dry goods or heavy catering supplies, it is worth confirming the specification suits your load requirements.
