The VWS1443 is a three-tier wall-mounted shelf system measuring 1400×400×1100mm, built from SS201 stainless steel. It provides vertical storage in commercial kitchens where floor space is constrained. Height adjustment allows operators to configure shelf spacing for different container sizes and equipment.
Commercial Application
Wall-mounted shelving removes storage volume from the prep floor, keeping pathways clear during service. Open-shelf access means no door operation—critical when staff carry hot pans or full trays. The unit positions frequently used items at operator height without requiring bending or reaching overhead.
During prep and service, cooks retrieve plated items, spice containers, or utensils directly from eye-level shelves. The 1400mm width accommodates gastronorm pans, mixing bowls, or stacked plates across three levels. Vertical mounting over worktables or near cooking stations reduces movement time during high-volume periods.
Key Operational Advantages
- Three shelves span 1400mm width, providing storage for gastronorm containers and prep trays without occupying floor space
- Height-adjustable mounting adapts shelf spacing to equipment height requirements in prep, cooking, or plating zones
- SS201 stainless steel construction with 0.8mm shelf thickness and 1.0mm support brackets provides corrosion resistance under daily washdown
- Wall-mounted configuration keeps storage above floor level, simplifying under-shelf cleaning and meeting hygiene inspection standards
- 15kg unit weight enables two-person installation on standard commercial kitchen wall framing
- CE-compliant design meets food contact surface standards applicable across UK, EU, North American, and Middle Eastern commercial kitchens

Construction & Build Quality
Shelves are formed from 0.8mm SS201 stainless steel with Scotch Brite finish for wear resistance and cleanability. Support brackets use 1.0mm SS201 steel with beveled reinforcement at wall-mount points. Non-porous stainless surfaces prevent bacterial harbour and withstand chemical sanitisers used in commercial cleaning protocols.
- 0.8mm SS201 stainless steel shelves with Scotch Brite surface finish resist scratching during pan contact
- 1.0mm wall brackets with beveled supports distribute load across mounting points
- Non-porous stainless construction prevents moisture absorption and bacterial growth under daily washdown
- CE certification confirms compliance with food contact surface and structural safety standards

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the VWS1443 wall shelf?
A: The unit uses SS201 stainless steel: 0.8mm thickness for shelves and 1.0mm for support brackets. SS201 provides corrosion resistance under daily washdown and meets food contact surface standards. It is specified for commercial kitchens where chloride exposure is moderate.
Q: What is the load-bearing capacity per shelf?
A: Load capacity depends on wall substrate and mounting method. On concrete or masonry with proper fixings, each shelf typically supports 30-40kg evenly distributed. Consult installation guidance for plasterboard or timber framing, which may require additional reinforcement.
Q: Can the shelf height be adjusted after installation?
A: Yes. The mounting bracket design allows vertical repositioning of shelves along the support uprights. Operators can adjust spacing to accommodate different container heights or equipment configurations without removing the entire unit from the wall.
Q: Is a splash-back panel available for this model?
A: The VWS1443 ships as an open-shelf unit without rear panelling. Operators installing above prep tables or near cooking zones should specify splash-back requirements at time of order. Custom rear panels can be fabricated to match shelf dimensions.
Q: Can TurcoBazaar supply custom widths or shelf depths?
A: Yes. Custom dimensions are available for multi-unit projects or kitchens with non-standard spacing requirements. Provide wall dimensions and load requirements to the technical team for quotation. Lead time for custom fabrication is typically 4-6 weeks.
