Super Erecta Shelf

Introduction

The Super Erecta Shelf is a rugged, modular wire shelving system from Metro designed for demanding storage needs in warehouses, kitchens, and workspaces. It delivers strong, evenly distributed load capacity with a hygienic finish that’s built to adapt as your space and inventory evolve.

Features

Size and footprint: Each shelf measures 24 inches in depth and 36 inches in width, providing a sturdy platform with flexible height options driven by post length. Complete shelf units can be configured to fit your layout, with the number of shelves and posts chosen to create a full unit.

Load capacity: Per-level capacity depends on shelf width: up to 800 pounds per level for shelves 48 inches wide or less; 600 pounds per level for shelves wider than 48 inches. Entire shelf assemblies support up to 2,000 pounds with an even load distribution across levels.

Finish and hygiene: Finished in Metroseal with Microban, offering corrosion resistance and antimicrobial protection ideal for foodservice, healthcare, and other hygiene-conscious environments.

Construction and weight: Industrial-grade wire steel construction with a typical unit weight of about 13 pounds per shelf, designed for durability and easy handling.

Accessories and setup: Shelf ledges shown in images are not included and must be ordered separately. For freestanding installations, 14-inch shelving foot plates are required. On mobile units, the maximum post height is 54 inches, and 14-inch shelving should not be used with posts taller than 74 inches.

Product context: Part of the Metro Super Erecta Shelves family (SKU 2436NK3), combining proven reliability with scalable storage for professional environments.

Benefits

Experience efficient, organized storage that scales with your needs. The high per-shelf and per-unit capacities let you store heavy items, bulk bins, or equipment without compromising stability or accessibility, while the open wire design promotes airflow and easy cleaning.

The Metroseal finish with Microban adds an extra layer of hygiene, helping to inhibit bacteria growth on high-touch surfaces, which is especially valuable in kitchens, break rooms, clinics, and labs.

Modularity and adaptability are key: reposition shelves and add posts to tailor the layout for changing inventory, seasonal shifts, or space constraints—no complete overhaul required. This system pairs well with other Metro Erecta components, enabling seamless expansion or reconfiguration as your storage needs evolve.

Usage tips: plan your layout to balance loads across levels, use appropriate foot plates for freestanding setups, and respect height limits for mobile units to maintain stability. If using 14-inch depth shelving, ensure compatibility with the specified post heights to preserve safety and performance.
