Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Harbour Fish Bar" in Penzance was struggling with a cramped and disorganised dry stock area. They needed a storage solution that could withstand a humid seaside environment and hold heavy boxes of cooking oil and potatoes without buckling.
"This shelving unit sorted our storeroom out in an afternoon. It’s incredibly sturdy and the coating means we don't worry about rust from the damp air. We can finally see all our stock at a glance, which has made ordering so much more efficient."
Stephen Williams – Owner
The new setup freed up valuable floor space and has cut their weekly stock-take time by at least 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack all components on a clean, flat surface to avoid scratches.
- No tools are needed! The shelves slot securely onto clips that you position on the upright poles.
- Start by building the base shelf first to give you a stable foundation to work from.
- Once built, give it a gentle shake to ensure all connections are firm before you start loading it.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down spills immediately with a damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the protective epoxy coating.
- Periodically check that the shelves are still level and secure, especially if the unit is moved.
- Try to distribute weight as evenly as possible across each shelf to maintain stability.

Explore more from Nisbets EssentialsHow the Epoxy Coating Protects Your Stock and Your Standards
Ever wondered what 'epoxy coated' really means? Think of it like a coat of armour for your shelving. It's a tough, thermosetting resin that's painted onto the steel and then cured, creating a hard, plastic-like finish. Unlike regular paint that can chip and expose the metal underneath, this epoxy layer forms a non-porous, waterproof barrier. This is brilliant for two reasons: firstly, it completely seals the steel from moisture, preventing rust even in damp cold rooms. Secondly, it creates a super smooth surface with nowhere for bacteria to hide, making it incredibly easy to wipe clean and keep hygienic for those all-important EHO visits. It's the feature that turns a simple rack into a proper piece of professional catering equipment.
