The WS1896 is a 2440 mm stainless steel wall shelf designed for commercial kitchens, prep areas, and catering operations. It mounts directly to the wall and supports up to 50 kg of pots, pans, containers, and utensils. The unit weighs 15 kg and ships flat for on-site installation.
Commercial Application
Wall shelving reduces floor clutter and frees counter space for active prep work. Stainless steel construction meets hygiene standards for direct food contact zones. The 2440 mm span covers long runs in galley kitchens, back-of-house prep areas, and dishwashing stations.
Operators mount the shelf above work benches, sinks, or plating stations to store cookware, service trays, and ingredient containers. The 450 mm depth accommodates hotel pans, mixing bowls, and catering equipment without overhanging the front edge. The 255 mm height provides vertical clearance for stacked storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the WS1896?
A: The shelf is fabricated from food-grade stainless steel compliant with CE, NSF, and CSA standards for food contact surfaces. The specific grade (304 or 430) can be confirmed at the time of order. Both grades meet commercial kitchen hygiene requirements.
Q: How is the 50 kg load capacity distributed?
A: The 50 kg rating assumes even distribution across the 2440 mm length. Point loads at the centre should not exceed 25 kg without additional wall support. Heavy items such as stock pots should be placed near the mounting brackets.
Q: Does the shelf come with adjustable mounting brackets?
A: The WS1896 mounts directly to the wall using fixed brackets supplied with the unit. Vertical adjustment is not available. Wall anchors and fixings are selected by the installer based on wall type and load requirements.
Q: Can a splash-back be added to the rear edge?
A: The shelf ships without a rear splash-back. A custom rear lip can be fabricated on request for installations above sinks or wet prep areas. Contact TurcoBazaar with installation details for quotation.
Q: Is custom sizing available for shorter or longer runs?
A: Custom lengths can be manufactured to match specific kitchen layouts. Minimum order quantities apply for non-standard dimensions. Lead times for custom sizing range from 4 to 8 weeks depending on production schedule.
