WIRE SHELVING

Your welfare is our first concern. If you are sensitive to nickel chrome or plastic please refrain from using our products.

Here is some basic information about wire shelving:
  • The plastic split sleeves are made from ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and not PVC.
    • ABS is a thermoplastic and is very common in automotive, household products etc…
  • Our nickel chrome wire shelving is meant for indoor use only in ambient and dry storage.
Please do not use chrome wire shelving in moist, hot, cold, or wet environments. If your environment is moist, wet, cold or hot please consider alternate finishes like stainless steel, or epoxy coated wire shelving.

Do not stand or climb on any of our shelving products. Do not overload the shelves or racks beyond their capacities. Do not use chrome wire shelves for a cooking surface.
