How to Choose the Right Commercial Shelving

Not all shelving is created equal. Here are key factors to consider when selecting shelving for your foodservice operation:

1. Environment – Will the shelving be in a humid walk-in cooler or a dry pantry? Aluminum and stainless steel are ideal materials for wet, humid spaces.
2. Mobility Needs – Will you need to move the shelving often? Opt for mobile units with locking casters.
3. Weight Load – Store light packaging or heavy equipment? Review load capacities to avoid sagging or failure.
4. Cleaning Frequency – For environments with strict sanitation requirements, choose smooth, sealed surfaces for easier wipe-downs.
5. Footprint & Flow – Think about how the shelving will impact staff movement and accessibility during peak hours.
