Use the guide below to match the line to the room, then the size to your space.

Quick Chooser

Atosa MWSSE Slate Gray Epoxy Wire Shelving Kits

Each MWSSE kit includes the shelves, 4 split posts and double locking sleeves. The slate gray epoxy coating resists rust and corrosion, and Atosa backs it with a 15-year rust and corrosion warranty. Choose 4 shelves on 74" posts or 5 shelves on 86" posts, in 18" or 24" depths and 24" to 72" widths.

If you are storing heavy cases on a 48" or 72" unit, the 24"-deep kits are rated 600 lb per shelf, compared with 450 lb for the 18"-deep versions. The 86" kits add a fifth shelf at the same per-shelf rating, so check ceiling height, sprinkler clearance and door openings first. Optional add-ons include MWSC5 collar casters, MWSSH01 S-hooks (8 per pack) and extra MWSLS01 double locking sleeves (20 per pack).

CAC China ACWS Chrome and AEWS Green Epoxy Shelving Sets

Every CAC set comes with 4 shelves, 4 posts (72" tall) and 16 clips. They ship flat, go together without tools, are NSF listed, are rated from -100°F to 500°F and hold up to 850 lb per shelf. The finish is the deciding factor: chrome for dry storage and storefront display, and green epoxy for refrigerators, freezers and warewashing areas.

Atosa MWSSE or CAC AEWS for Cold Storage?

Both are epoxy coated. Choose Atosa MWSSE when you need a 24", 60" or 72" width, an 86" height or the 15-year rust and corrosion warranty. Choose CAC AEWS when you need the 850 lb per-shelf rating in a 36" or 48" width, or tool-free clip assembly.

Atosa Mixrite SWS Stainless Steel Wall Shelves

Mixrite wall shelves are 18-gauge, type 430 stainless steel with rolled front and back edges, and they are NSF listed. Shelves up to 60" wide include 2 mounting brackets; the 72", 84" and 96" shelves include 3. Wall-mount hardware is not included, so mount to studs or properly rated backing. Warranty is 90 days on workmanship.

Twelve-inch shelves suit spices, smallwares and glassware above a narrow station. The 18" depth holds sheet pans, food storage containers and larger supplies above prep tables and work tables. Match the shelf width to the table or counter below it.

Atosa MPRA Aluminum Pan Racks

MPRA racks are aluminum and carry a 90-day warranty on workmanship. Pick one by pan count and height; only the MPRA-20 has swivel casters as standard.

The MPRA-SP and MPRA-7 are countertop-height racks for a prep table or bakery bench. The MPRA-15 is a mid-height floor rack. The MPRA-20 is the full-height speed rack for moving product between the oven, prep line and walk-in cooler.

Before You Order

• Floor footprint. Shelving kits are listed depth x width. Leave room to pull cases off the front.
• Height. Check 72", 74" or 86" against ceiling, sprinklers and doorways, and 70-1/2" for the MPRA-20.
• Room conditions. Use epoxy (MWSSE or AEWS) in coolers, freezers and dish areas; chrome (ACWS) in dry areas.
• Load. Keep heavy cases on lower shelves and stay within the per-shelf rating for your exact model.
• Wall shelves. Plan for studs or rated backing and supply your own mounting hardware.

Commercial Storage FAQ

Which shelving should I use in a walk-in cooler or freezer?

Use an epoxy finish. CAC lists its green epoxy AEWS sets for refrigerators, freezers and warewashing areas, and the Atosa MWSSE kits use a slate gray epoxy coating with a 15-year rust and corrosion warranty. Save the chrome ACWS sets for dry storage and display.
