Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →
- Practical Strength: The weight capacity is immense, but it's the rust-proof build that makes it a true fit-and-forget solution.
- Plan Your Corners: Remember that the corner connectors for L-shaped setups are sold separately.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Coastal Café in Whitby needed to overhaul its damp basement stockroom, where their old metal shelving was constantly succumbing to rust from the sea air.
"We were fighting a losing battle with rust. The Cambro unit has completely solved it. It’s incredibly sturdy, a breeze to keep clean, and the salty air hasn't made a mark on it. It’s one less headache for us to deal with."
Robert Davies – Owner
This simple upgrade eliminated rust contamination risks and significantly reduced the time spent on deep cleaning and maintenance.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always start by checking your floor is level to ensure maximum stability.
- The posts are designed to be shared between units, so plan your full run before you begin assembly.
- No need to hunt for a toolbox! All components are designed for a simple, tool-free fit.
- If you're creating an L-shape or U-shape layout, remember to use the appropriate corner connectors (sold separately).
Keeping It Going
- For daily upkeep, simply wipe the shelves and posts down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
- For a proper deep clean, the shelf plates lift out easily and can be run through any commercial dishwasher.
- The antimicrobial protection is permanent and doesn't require any special sprays or maintenance to remain effective.
- Periodically check that the unit remains stable and hasn't been accidentally knocked or shifted during busy periods.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: No, the Cambro Camshelving Basics Plus system is specifically designed for quick and easy, tool-free assembly.
Q: Can I use this shelving unit inside a walk-in freezer?
A: Yes, absolutely. Cambro composite shelving is engineered to withstand the cold temperatures of commercial freezers and coolers without becoming brittle or rusting.
Q: What exactly does 'antimicrobial protection' do?
A: It means a special agent is permanently moulded into the shelf plates during manufacturing to inhibit the growth of mould, fungi, and harmful bacteria, improving overall hygiene.
Q: What is the maximum weight a single shelf can hold?
A: Each shelf on this 1220mm wide unit is rated to safely hold up to 317.5 kg (745 lbs) of evenly distributed weight.
Q: Are the shelves themselves actually dishwasher safe?
A: Yes. The individual shelf plates are designed to be easily removed and are completely safe to run through a commercial dishwasher for thorough sanitation.
Q: Is the height of the shelves adjustable?
A: Yes, the shelves can be positioned at various heights along the posts in set increments, allowing you to customise the unit for your specific storage needs.
Q: What does being 'NSF Listed' mean for my business?
A: It provides assurance that the product meets strict, internationally recognised standards for public health protection, making it certified safe for professional food storage environments.
Q: Can I reconfigure the unit from a straight line to an L-shape later on?
A: Yes, you can. You would just need to purchase the corner connectors (sold separately) to create a stable 90-degree corner.

Explore more from CambroMore Than Just Clean: How Antimicrobial Shelves Protect Your Stock
You often see 'antimicrobial' and think of a simple coating, but Cambro's approach is far more advanced. The protection isn't just a layer on the surface that can scratch or wear off over time; it's permanently moulded *into* the composite plastic of the shelf plates.
Think of it like the difference between a printed t-shirt and one made from coloured fabric. The print can crack and fade, but the colour in the fabric is there for good. In the same way, this antimicrobial agent is part of the material itself. It works nonstop to inhibit the growth of mould, fungi, and bacteria for the entire life of the shelf, providing a crucial, silent layer of food safety in your stockroom or walk-in cooler without you having to do a thing.
