Flexible Configuration
The Alera SW50-3618BA wire shelving starter kit provides a modular storage system for commercial and industrial environments. It assembles without tools using a snap-together design that allows quick reconfiguration. The unit can be built as a single four-tier rack or split into two separate two-tier racks to suit changing space requirements. Shelves adjust in one-inch increments for versatile organisation.
Load Capacity Limits
Each shelf supports up to 1,250 lbs when weight is distributed evenly across the welded steel wire construction. The open wire design promotes air circulation around stored items and reduces dust accumulation on surfaces. NSF food equipment certification and ANSI/BIFMA compliance confirm suitability for wet, dry and high-sanitation areas such as commercial kitchens and restaurants. The Black Anthracite finish resists corrosion in these demanding conditions.
Overall Dimensions
The starter kit measures 36 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 72 inches high, defining the fixed footprint for installation planning. These external dimensions determine whether the assembled rack fits within allocated floor space and ceiling clearance. Buyers needing a narrower, deeper or taller profile must select a different model because this kit’s frame size cannot be altered after purchase.
