Collection: Stainless Under Shelf

Stainless undershelves — the working storage layer

A stainless steel undershelf turns the empty space beneath a prep bench, sink, or pass into useful storage — for pots, mixing bowls, GN pans, dry stock, and back-up supplies. Properly specified undershelves transform line-cook efficiency: everything within reach, off the floor, easy to clean.

Formats and configurations

• Pot undershelves: Open-shelf format with pot-and-pan capacity — sized to match the bench above. The standard configuration for most prep lines.
• Solid undershelves: Flat solid stainless surface — better for dry stock storage and items that fall through open shelves.
• Adjustable shelves: Multi-position shelves for flexible storage of varying-height items.

Sizing — 1500 to 2400mm

The Modular range we carry covers the standard Australian commercial bench widths — 1500mm, 1800mm, 2100mm, and 2400mm. Match the undershelf to your bench width exactly so the shelf clears stretchers and supports without interference. For non-standard bench widths, contact us about custom solutions.

Build and longevity

• Stainless construction: Hygienic, corrosion-free, and dishwasher-tolerant on removable shelves.
• Welded vs bolt-together: Welded undershelves are stiffer and look cleaner; bolt-together are easier to replace if damaged.
• Load rating: Heavy-duty undershelves rated for 100kg+ — important for full-pot and bulk-stock storage.
• Easy to clean: Smooth stainless wipes down fast — no corners or seams that trap debris.

Where undershelves fit

• Prep benches: Storage of mixing bowls, GN pans, and immediate-use pots.
• Pass benches: Service plates, finishing dishes, and clean equipment.
• Sink benches: Cleaning supplies, scourers, and back-up equipment.
• Storage racks: Under shelving racks in dry-store and cool-room areas.

Pair with

• Commercial stainless benches — the natural partner.
• Commercial shelving for additional storage layers.
• Trolleys and gastronorm carts for mobile storage.

Undershelf care

• Wipe down daily: Drips, spills, and food residue accumulate on undershelves — wipe at end of service.
• Inspect mounting and welds: Heavy loads can stress welds — visual inspection at deep clean.
• Don't overload: Match stored weight to the shelf load rating — overloading bends shelves and stresses brackets.
• Hand-clean welds and seams: Trapped debris in seams becomes hygiene risks — manual cleaning.
• Castor lubrication on mobile units: Shelves on castors need lubrication so they roll for cleaning.
• Replace damaged shelves: Bent or rusted shelves don't perform — replace rather than persisting.
