Commonly Asked Questions About Shelving

Shelving is undoubtedly one of the most practical ways to store tools, ingredients, and other essentials in a commercial kitchen. However, with so many options available, choosing the right shelving system can feel overwhelming. We're here to help clarify some of the most commonly asked questions about shelving units. In this article, we'll address five pressing questions about IMC's shelving products and provide useful resources for future reference. Let's kick things off with the first question. **1. What's the difference between a standard shelf and a wall-mounted shelf?** Both types serve the same purpose: efficient storage and organization. The decision between the two mainly depends on the amount of space you have in your workspace. If you've got ample floor space, a standard shelving unit will work just fine. These units can hold more items and often come with wheels, making them easy to move around. On the other hand, if your floor space is limited, a wall-mounted shelf is the way to go. Multiple wall-mounted shelves can maximize storage in your area while keeping essential items within easy reach. **2. Are solid shelves any different from louvered shelves? How do I decide which to choose?** IMC offers both solid and louvered shelves for its shelving units. The choice ultimately depends on the type of items you're storing. Solid shelves are ideal for "dry" goods—products that don't drip or leak—and they can accommodate items of various sizes. They're also easier to clean. Meanwhile, louvered shelves promote better airflow, making them better suited for "wet" items and preventing standing liquids. They also offer better visibility of stored items. For a more detailed comparison, check out our guide [here](#). **3. Is there a weight limit for these shelving units?** Standard shelving units typically can comfortably support 250-300 pounds per shelf tier. Wall-mounted shelves, however, vary depending on how they're installed. If mounted on a less sturdy surface like plywood, we recommend not exceeding 200 pounds. On stronger anchors, you can safely load up to 250-275 pounds. The shelf's length also plays a role in its weight capacity. If you're unsure about weight limits, don't hesitate to reach out to us. **4. I need shelving for a correctional facility. What type of shelving should I consider?** When setting up shelving in a correctional facility, it's crucial to opt for a **Security Package**. This means the shelf is fully welded, its legs are non-detachable, and any optional casters are welded directly onto the legs. This ensures that no parts can be removed, stolen, or used as weapons. IMC offers Model #SSS, made from 14-gauge stainless steel, which is perfect for high-security environments. Additionally, IMC wall shelves can be customized with a security package to meet the stringent requirements of correctional facilities. **5. What is "tubular" shelving?** In addition to solid and louvered wall shelves, IMC also provides a unique third option called tubular wall shelving (Model #WMS-T). This type offers unparalleled air circulation due to its larger openings, allowing for a rack-like design that speeds up drying and restocking. Tubular shelves are also easier to clean, requiring minimal effort to keep them sanitized. For more details on the benefits of tubular wall shelves, click [here](#).
