Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Potted Lobster, a bustling seafood restaurant in Belfast, needed to overhaul its cold room storage. Their old metal shelving was rusting badly and was becoming a major hygiene concern and an eyesore for the team.
"We were constantly fighting rust and it was a nightmare to clean properly. The Cambro shelving was an investment in hygiene and efficiency. The team can find ingredients faster and cleaning is now a breeze, which they love."
Sean Hughes – Head Chef
The switch to the Cambro Basics Plus 4 shelf system has eliminated all corrosion issues and reduced weekly cleaning time for the cold room by over an hour.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Check you have all parts before starting; it makes life much easier!
- No tools needed! The tapered sleeves and posts simply lock together with a firm push.
- Build the unit on a level surface to ensure it is stable once fully assembled.
- If you're linking multiple units in a corner, remember you'll need corner connectors (sold separately).
Keeping It Going
- The shelf plates are fully dishwasher safe – pop them through for a super-fast, hygienic clean.
- For daily spills, a simple wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent is all it takes.
- Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to keep the smooth surface in top condition.
- Periodically check that posts are still firmly seated, especially in high-traffic areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this shelving in a walk-in freezer?
A: Absolutely. It's designed to withstand temperatures as low as -38°C and the lifetime guarantee covers rust and corrosion, making it perfect for damp or cold environments.
Q: Is it difficult to assemble?
A: Not at all. The components are designed to lock together easily without any tools. Most people have it set up in just a few minutes.
Q: What does NSF listed mean?
A: It means the product has been tested by the National Sanitation Foundation and meets their strict standards for public health protection, so it's certified safe for use in commercial food environments.
Q: Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
A: Yes, the shelves can be adjusted in 4-inch (10cm) increments along the posts, allowing you to customise the space for different sized items.
Q: What is the 'antimicrobial protection'?
A: It's a special compound called Camguard® that is permanently moulded into the shelf plates to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew, helping to keep stored items safer.
Q: Are the shelves solid or vented?
A: This particular model, FW638, features solid shelf plates, which are ideal for storing smaller items that might fall through vented shelves and for containing any accidental spills.
Q: How do I clean the shelves?
A: It's simple. The shelf plates are lightweight, removable, and completely dishwasher safe. For the posts and frame, a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is all that's needed.
Q: Can I combine this starter unit with other shelving?
A: Yes, the Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus system is designed to be modular. You can connect 'add-on' units to this 'starter unit' to create longer runs, or use corner connectors for L-shaped configurations.
The Cambro Promise: More Than Just Storage
Investing in a Cambro Camshelving 4 tier shelving unit is about more than just getting your stock off the floor; it's an investment in operational peace of mind. For decades, Cambro has been an undisputed leader in food-safe storage, and this system is the culmination of that experience. The composite material isn't just rust-proof; it’s incredibly durable, absorbing the inevitable bumps and scrapes of a busy kitchen without denting, peeling or chipping like coated metal shelving does. This long-term durability translates to a lower total cost of ownership. You're not just buying shelves; you're buying a reliable, hygienic, and compliant storage backbone that will likely outlast many other pieces of your kitchen equipment, freeing you up to focus on what really matters: your food and your customers.
Explore more from CambroWhy Antimicrobial Protection is More Than Just a Buzzword
You've probably seen 'antimicrobial' on lots of products, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like a built-in bodyguard for your shelving. The protection, made with a silver-ion technology called Camguard®, is mixed directly into the plastic itself, so it's not just a coating that can wear off or get scratched away over time. It works around the clock to stop the growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria right on the shelf surface. This is a massive help in damp environments like walk-in fridges or pot wash areas, creating a more hygienic barrier between your shelves and your precious ingredients, and giving you one less thing to worry about come inspection time.
