Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight capacity of used wire shelving?
The weight capacity of used wire shelving can vary depending on the manufacturer, model, and specific configuration. Typically, capacities range from 300 pounds to over 1,000 pounds per shelf for heavy-duty units. Our team will work with you to determine the right capacity for your needs.
Is wire shelving suitable for cold storage environments?
Yes, wire shelving is excellent for cold storage environments such as walk-in coolers and freezers. The open wire design promotes air circulation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent temperatures. Many wire shelving units are also available with special finishes or materials that resist corrosion in high-humidity environments.
How does wire shelving compare to solid shelving?
Wire shelving offers several advantages over solid shelving, including better visibility of stored items, improved air circulation, and easier cleaning. It's generally lighter while still offering high weight capacities. However, solid shelving might be preferred for storing very small items or in situations where a solid surface is necessary. The choice depends on your specific storage needs and environment.
Can I customize the shelf spacing on used wire shelving?
Yes, most wire shelving units offer adjustable shelf heights, allowing you to customize the spacing to fit your specific storage needs. Shelves can typically be adjusted in 1-inch increments, providing great flexibility. When selecting used wire shelving, we can help you find units with the adjustability features you need.
