The GSK12518SM is a 1200mm upright stainless steel storage cupboard with sliding doors and three shelves. It weighs 90 kg and stands 1800mm tall. Used in commercial kitchens for storing cookware, utensils, dry goods, and service equipment in hygienic conditions.
Commercial Application
This unit provides enclosed storage in food preparation zones where exposed shelving creates contamination risk. Sliding doors eliminate the swing clearance required by hinged cabinets in narrow prep corridors. Three fixed shelves support segregated storage of pots, pans, plates, and ambient food items.
Operators position these cupboards in plating stations, service lines, or back-of-house prep areas where frequent access to clean cookware is required. The 500mm depth accommodates standard commercial pan sizes. Height allows full standing access without step stools.
Key Operational Advantages
- Sliding door mechanism reduces aisle clearance requirement by approximately 600mm compared to hinged alternatives
- Three shelves provide vertical separation for different storage categories without cross-contamination
- Stainless steel construction meets food contact surface requirements under CE, NSF, and CSA standards
- 90 kg weight indicates commercial-grade panel thickness and reinforced frame suitable for daily service use
- 1200mm width fits standard kitchen layouts between prep tables and refrigeration banks
- Adjustable feet compensate for uneven floor substrates common in older commercial buildings

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the GSK12518SM construction?
A: Zodex typically manufactures this model range using 430-grade stainless steel for body panels and shelves. Grade 304 is available on request for chloride-rich environments. Confirm steel grade at time of order.
Q: What is the load capacity per shelf?
A: Each fixed shelf supports approximately 40 kg evenly distributed load. Total cabinet capacity is 120 kg excluding self-weight. Concentrated loads above 25 kg per shelf may cause permanent deformation.
Q: Are the shelves adjustable after installation?
A: No. Shelves are welded at fixed 500mm vertical intervals during manufacture. Adjustable shelving requires a different model specification at time of order.
Q: Can adjustable feet compensate for sloped floors?
A: Feet adjust approximately 15mm vertically. Floors with greater than 15mm slope over 1200mm span require shimming or floor remediation before installation.
Q: Is a splash-back panel available for this model?
A: Standard configuration does not include rear splash-back. Zodex manufactures custom splash-back panels as separate line items. Specify height and attachment requirements when ordering.
