- Cons: It’s system-specific, so you must have the 610mm deep Cambro Basics Plus units.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton needed a major overhaul of their walk-in freezer storage, which relied on old, rusting metal racks that were difficult to clean.
"We were constantly fighting rust and our stock rotation was a nightmare. We ripped it all out and installed the Cambro Basics Plus system. The difference is night and day. It’s clean, incredibly strong, and the fact that it's unaffected by the freezer temperatures is brilliant."
Robert Green – Head of Maintenance
The new setup has increased their usable freezer space by over 25% and cut down cleaning time significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before you start, confirm your existing or new Cambro shelving posts are for a 610mm deep unit.
- Ensure the shelving is assembled on a flat, level surface to guarantee stability.
- The components are designed to slot together firmly by hand – no tools are required for assembly.
- Distribute weight evenly across the rails and panels to maximise stability and safety.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent.
- The smooth fibreglass surface is non-porous and resists stains, making cleaning simple.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or aggressive chemical cleaners to protect the surface.
- Periodically check that all components remain securely fitted, especially in high-use areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this shelving unit difficult to assemble?
A: Not at all. The Cambro Basics Plus system is famous for its simple, tool-free assembly. All the components are designed to slot together securely by hand.
Q: Can I use this Cambro universal storage rack 610mm in my walk-in freezer?
A: Absolutely. The fibreglass material is rated to handle temperatures as low as -40°C without becoming brittle or cracking, making it perfect for freezers.
Q: What is the benefit of fibreglass over standard metal shelving?
A: Fibreglass has several advantages: it will never rust, it's resistant to dents and scratches, and it withstands a much wider range of temperatures than most metals.
Q: Can I put hot pans directly on the rails?
A: Yes, the rails are rated safe for temperatures up to 177°C, so they can safely hold hot pans and containers straight from an oven or combi-steamer.
Q: How do I know if this will fit my existing shelving?
A: This kit is specifically for the Cambro Basics Plus shelving system with a depth of 610mm. Please measure your unit's depth before ordering.
Q: Is the material safe for food storage environments?
A: Yes, Cambro products are designed for commercial food service and are made from food-safe, hygienic materials suitable for any kitchen or storage area.
Q: Can I buy individual extra rails or panels?
A: This is a complete starter kit. Additional components for the Cambro Basics Plus system are often available separately to expand your setup.
Q: How should I clean the rack?
A: A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent is all that's needed. The smooth surface cleans very easily.
The Cambro Promise: Reliability You Can Build On
Choosing shelving might not seem like the most exciting decision, but it's one of the most important for long-term operational success. Investing in a Cambro system is about more than just holding ingredients; it's about investing in peace of mind. For decades, Cambro has been a trusted name in the back-of-house because their products are built to endure the real-world chaos of a professional kitchen. This isn't a 'buy it cheap, buy it twice' solution. The robust fibreglass construction means no rust, no warping, and no surprise failures during a busy service. This translates to lower replacement costs, better compliance with health and safety standards, and a consistently organised workspace. A well-organised stockroom saves time, reduces waste, and ultimately contributes to a more profitable, less stressful business.

Ever seen standard plastic shelving go brittle and crack in a freezer? Or worried about putting a hot tray onto a rack that isn't built for it? That's the problem this Cambro system solves. Its incredible temperature range of -40°C to 177°C is down to its specialist fibreglass construction.
Think of it like having an all-weather jacket for your storage. You can pull a heavy, frozen box of goods from the deep freeze and place it on the rack without any fear of the material cracking under the cold. Minutes later, you can place a hot gastronorm pan straight from the oven on the same shelf, and it won't warp or buckle. This versatility means you have one reliable storage system for every part of your kitchen, simplifying operations and removing any guesswork.
