Expert Review and  Insights

Craven's shelving is a classic for a reason. It’s not about flashy gimmicks; it's about pure, simple reliability. The build quality is immediately obvious, and  the nylon coating is a significant step up from standard chrome for any business dealing with cold or damp storage. It’s a solid, dependable backbone for any busy storeroom.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The temperature flexibility is fantastic, making it a true one-size-fits-all storage solution.
  • Con: It's a heavy unit; assembly is definitely a two-person job for safety.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Bistro in Leeds was struggling with a cramped and  disorganised stockroom, which was slowing down service during busy periods. They needed a robust solution that could handle both dry goods and  fit within their walk-in chiller.

"Our old shelving was a mess and  probably not up to code. We swapped it all out for two of these Craven units and  the difference is night and  day. Everything is organised, the team can find what they need instantly, and  cleaning is so much quicker."

Robert Finch – Owner, The Corner Bistro

By reorganising their storage, the bistro saw a marked improvement in stock rotation and  reduced ingredient search times by over 30% during peak service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always build on a flat, level surface to ensure stability.
  • We recommend building with two people; it makes handling the large shelves much safer and  easier.
  • A rubber mallet is your best friend here – use it to gently but firmly tap the shelves onto the support clips for a secure fit.
  • Plan your shelf heights before you start. Think about what you'll be storing to make the best use of the space.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying on.
  • Clean regularly using a food-safe cleaner or sanitiser and  a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers.
  • Periodically check that the shelves are still sitting securely on their clips, especially if you move the unit.
  • Stick to the weight limits. While it's strong, overloading any single shelf can compromise the unit's stability.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Shelving

Not sure what fits best in your space? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right storage.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Check the height, width, and  depth of your available space. Remember to leave enough room around the unit to walk past and  access items easily.

Match Material to Environment

Is it for a damp cold room or a dry pantry? A nylon coated wire shelving unit is perfect for cold and  damp areas, while chrome might suffice for dry storage.

Know Your Load

Estimate the total weight of the items you plan to store. Always choose shelving with a capacity that comfortably exceeds your heaviest load.

Check for Certification

For peace of mind and  to satisfy inspectors, look for recognised hygiene standards like NF or NSF. It shows the unit is designed for professional food environments.

Value Adjustability

Your stock changes, so your storage should too. Adjustable wire shelving for kitchens allows you to reconfigure the space for different sized items as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this 4 tier commercial wire shelving suitable for a walk-in freezer?

A: Absolutely. Its protective nylon coating and  wide temperature rating (down to -40°C) make it ideal for use in freezers and  commercial cold rooms without rusting.

Q: How do you adjust the shelf height?

A: The posts have grooves at regular intervals. You simply snap the plastic clips into place at your desired height, then slide the shelf down over them to lock it in.

Q: What does 'NF food hygiene standards' mean for my business?

A: It's a recognised European standard (Norme Française) that certifies the materials and  design are suitable for high-hygiene environments, like professional kitchens.

Q: What is the maximum weight the whole unit can hold?

A: The entire unit is rated for an impressive 800kg Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL). Each individual shelf can safely hold up to 124kg.

Q: Can I order extra shelves for this unit?

A: This unit is supplied with four shelves. For information on compatible additional shelves, it's best to check the accessories section or contact our sales team.

Q: What tools are needed for assembly?

A: The system is designed for easy, tool-free assembly. However, a rubber mallet is highly recommended to help you tap the shelves securely into place.

Q: How durable is the nylon coating compared to just painted steel?

A: It's significantly more durable. The nylon is a thick, bonded layer that resists chipping and  peeling, offering far superior protection against rust and  corrosion.

Q: Can the feet be adjusted for uneven floors?

A: This model comes with standard feet. For uneven surfaces, we recommend levelling the floor area or using commercial-grade shims for maximum stability.

What Customers Are Saying

"This is proper heavy-duty stuff. We have two in our cold room and  they haven't shown a single sign of rust. The nylon coated wire shelving unit is exactly what we needed."

David Chen – Restaurant Owner, Birmingham

"Brilliant bit of kit. Rock solid once built and  holds a surprising amount of weight. Definitely recommend having a friend to help you build it, though!"

Maria Evans – Bakery, Cardiff

Why the Nylon Coating is More Than Just a Finish

You might see 'nylon coated' and  think it's just a type of paint, but it's much cleverer than that. Think of it like a tough, protective skin that's molecularly bonded to the steel shelving. Unlike paint or cheaper coatings that can chip or flake away over time—especially in a damp, cold room—this thick nylon layer creates a seamless, non-porous barrier. This means there are no tiny cracks for moisture to seep into and  cause rust, and  no crevices for bacteria to hide in. It’s this feature that makes the Craven CE118 shelving a food-safe champion, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of commercial freezers and  rigorous cleaning schedules for years.

    An essential for organising walk-in fridges and  dry stores, keeping bulk ingredients accessible and  off the floor.
