Stainless Steel Spec SheetProduct Description
This is a purpose-built wall-mounted shelf designed to hold a freestanding microwave oven in a commercial kitchen environment. Constructed from 430 grade stainless steel and mounted on welded cantilever box section wall brackets, it keeps the microwave off the worktop and positions it at a practical working height on the pass or in a servery area.
In busy kitchens where worktop space is at a premium, getting the microwave off the counter makes a meaningful difference to workflow. A dedicated shelf keeps the unit stable, positions the cable neatly behind the rear upstand, and frees up preparation or plating space below. The turned-down edges and rear upstand add rigidity to the shelf and help prevent the microwave from shifting during service.
- Keeps the microwave at a consistent, accessible height throughout service
- Rear upstand channels the power cable tidily behind the shelf
- Stainless steel construction wipes down cleanly and resists the moisture common in kitchen environments
- Pre-drilled brackets simplify installation against a wall stud or solid masonry surface
- Frees up worktop or counter space in tight service areas
Installation is straightforward, but the wall fixing points need to be sound — the brackets are pre-drilled, but fixings are not supplied and the wall construction will determine what fixings are appropriate. It is worth confirming that the wall can bear the combined weight of the shelf and a loaded microwave before fitting. Two depth options are available to suit different microwave footprints, so checking the depth of your unit before ordering is advisable.
This shelf suits smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, school canteens, care homes — where one or two microwaves are in regular use and wall space is available near the pass. For sites running multiple microwaves in a high-volume operation, a purpose-built shelving run may be a more practical solution.
If you are unsure which size suits your microwave or whether this fits your kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Stainless Steel Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The depth you need depends on the footprint of your microwave. Measure the front-to-back depth of your unit and allow a small margin so it sits securely without overhanging the front edge. If you are between sizes, the deeper option gives more support and is generally the safer choice.
- The brackets are pre-drilled ready for site fixing, but fixings are not supplied as the correct type depends on your wall construction. For solid masonry or brick, standard masonry anchors are appropriate; for stud partition walls you will need to fix into the studs or use suitable hollow-wall anchors rated for the load. It is worth confirming the wall can bear the combined weight of the shelf and microwave before drilling.
- This shelf is well suited to operations with one or two microwaves in regular use — cafés, pub kitchens, care homes, and similar sites. For kitchens running several microwaves simultaneously or requiring a more integrated storage solution, a purpose-built shelving system is likely to be more practical and better value.
