Expert Review and Insights
When you see Cambro, you know you're looking at a piece of kit that understands the realities of a commercial kitchen. This isn't flimsy, budget shelving; it's a properly engineered system. The non-corrosive material is a huge plus over traditional wire racking, especially in damp walk-in chillers or pot wash areas. It's a 'buy it once, fit it for life' solution.

- Best in Class Hygiene: The antimicrobial, dishwasher-safe shelves are a massive win for food safety compliance.
- Assembly Space: It requires a bit of floor space to assemble, so build it in situ.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Northern Pantry, a popular artisan deli in Leeds, was struggling with old, rusted metal shelving in their main stockroom. The shelves were difficult to clean and were starting to look unprofessional during supplier visits.
"We were constantly worried about rust contamination and the sheer time it took to scrub the old wire racks. Switching to the Cambro unit was brilliant. It looks clean, it feels solid, and we can just wipe it down or pop the shelf plates in the dishwasher. It’s saved our team so much time."
David Chen – Owner, The Northern Pantry
The switch has reduced their weekly stockroom deep-cleaning time by over 30 minutes, allowing staff to focus on prep and service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the floor is clean and level before you begin assembly.
- A rubber mallet (not a hammer) is recommended to gently tap posts and traverses into place without causing damage.
- Listen for the 'click' to ensure each component is securely locked into the dovetails for maximum stability.
- Build the unit in the room where it will be used, as it can be difficult to move through doorways once fully assembled.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down shelves and posts daily with a damp cloth and mild detergent to handle spills.
- For a deep clean, the shelf plates can be easily lifted out and run through a commercial dishwasher.
- Periodically check that all components remain securely fitted, especially in high-use areas.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which are unnecessary and could dull the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this shelving difficult to assemble?
A: No, the Cambro Camshelving 5 tier shelving unit is designed for simple assembly. It uses a post and traverse system with dovetails that lock together, and no special tools are required, though a rubber mallet is helpful.
Q: Can I adjust the height of the shelves?
A: Yes, the shelves can be adjusted in 4-inch (10cm) increments, allowing you to customise the unit to fit items of various sizes.
Q: Is this unit suitable for a walk-in freezer?
A: Yes, Cambro composite shelving is designed to withstand temperatures as low as -38°C, making it perfectly safe for use in walk-in fridges and freezers without becoming brittle.
Q: What does 'NSF Listed' actually mean?
A: NSF listing means the product has been tested by a third-party organisation to verify it meets strict public health and safety standards for materials, design, and cleanability in a food environment.
Q: How do you clean the shelf plates?
A: The shelf plates are lightweight and can be easily lifted out. They can be wiped clean or run through any commercial dishwasher for a thorough, hygienic clean.
Q: Will the colour fade or scratch off over time?
A: The colour is part of the composite material itself, not a coating. It is designed to resist peeling, scratching, and fading even in a demanding commercial setting.
Q: Can I add castors to make this a mobile unit?
A: This specific starter unit is designed for stationary use to ensure maximum stability. Cambro does offer separate, purpose-built mobile shelving units if you require portability.
Q: Can I connect multiple units together?
A: Yes, the system is designed to be modular. You can purchase 'add-on' units that share posts with a starter unit, saving you space and money as you expand your storage.
The Cambro Commitment: Storage That's Built to Last
Beyond the impressive weight limits and dimensions lies the core Cambro philosophy: buy it once, and it will serve you for a lifetime. This heavy duty catering shelving isn't a temporary fix; it's permanent infrastructure for your business. Think of the hidden costs of cheaper metal shelving: the staff time spent scrubbing rust, the money to replace units every few years, and the constant worry of EHO compliance. The Cambro Camshelving system eliminates all of that. Its true value is measured over years of flawless performance. The composite material doesn't just resist rust; it withstands the daily reality of a commercial kitchen—the impacts, the temperature swings, the chemical exposure. This is more than just a place to put your stock; it’s a commitment to operational excellence, food safety, and long-term financial sense, giving you one less thing to worry about so you can focus on what you do best.
Explore more from CambroHow Built-In Antimicrobial Protection Keeps Your Stock Safer
You might see 'antimicrobial' and think it's just a fancy coating, but with Cambro, it's much smarter. The protection is a special compound that's permanently moulded right into the plastic of the shelf plates. It’s not a spray or a layer that can scratch or wear off over time; it's part of the shelf's DNA.
Think of it like this: it’s like having a microscopic security guard built into the material itself. Between your regular cleans, this guard is always on duty, actively working to disrupt the growth of mould, mildew, and odour-causing bacteria. It doesn't replace cleaning, but it provides a powerful, continuous backup, giving you an extra layer of defence and total peace of mind for your hygienic food storage shelving.
