Bench Mounted Overshelf

Hospitality Connect stocks 44 bench mounted overshelves for commercial kitchens, from Simply Stainless, Modular and KitchenKnock. The range covers single and double tier stainless steel overshelves across a spread of widths to suit standard work bench sizes.

An overshelf mounts to a work bench and lifts storage off the working surface, which returns bench space at the pass and on prep stations. Width is chosen to match the bench it sits on, so measure the bench before ordering rather than after. Tier count is the second decision: a single tier keeps plates and containers within easy reach, while a double tier holds more but sits higher and can block sight lines across a pass. Stainless steel is used throughout, because it wipes down with the rest of the kitchen and stands up to daily cleaning. Trade pricing applies and delivery is Australia-wide.

Why buy bench-mounted overshelves from Hospitality Connect

• Curated for Australian commercial kitchens: Every line is selected against the realities of AU service — voltage, room dimensions, council rules, ambient temperatures.
• Brand-direct relationships: We deal directly with manufacturers and importers, so you get current models and the right parts when you need them.
• Field-tested specs: Sizes, gauges and capacities listed on each product reflect what actually works in service, not glossy brochure numbers.
• Tech support that picks up: Pre and post-sale phone lines staffed by people who know commercial kitchens.
• Warranty handled here: We process the claim with the manufacturer; you keep cooking.

Bench-mounted overshelves care and longevity

• Avoid chlorinated cleaners: Bleach and chlorine sanitisers pit 304-grade stainless. Use neutral pH detergents and a non-abrasive pad.
• Wipe with the grain: Always finish with the polish line — circular scrubbing creates visible marks under service lighting.
• Inspect weld lines monthly: Check seams and corner welds for hairline cracks that trap moisture.
• Mind undershelf load limits: Most economy benches rate 80–120kg total UDL; reinforced models go higher. Don't park combi ovens on lightweight benches.
• Foot levellers: Re-level annually after slab settlement; uneven feet flex the worktop and stress welds.
