Plastic Shelving FAQs

Shelving.com helps buyers compare HDPE plastic shelving based on shelf surface, dimensions, storage environment, configuration and how the shelving will be used.

What is HDPE plastic shelving?
HDPE plastic shelving is shelving manufactured from high density polyethylene. The material is resistant to moisture, rust and corrosion, making it useful to consider in storage environments where those conditions affect the choice of shelving.

What is the difference between grid top and solid top plastic shelving?
Grid top shelving has an open surface that allows airflow and drainage through the shelf. Solid top shelving provides a continuous surface. The better choice depends on the storage environment and the type of items being stored.

Can plastic shelving be used in wet or humid areas?
HDPE plastic shelving can be useful in humid and moisture exposed environments because the material does not rust like traditional steel shelving. Always confirm the specifications of the exact shelving system for the intended application.

What is a plastic shelving add on unit?
An add on unit is designed to extend a compatible base shelving system rather than function as a completely separate shelving run. Confirm dimensions and compatibility before adding a section to an existing system.

What sizes of plastic shelving are available?
The DuraShelf systems in this collection include several widths, including 36, 48, 66 and 96 inch options, along with different heights, shelf counts and selected 24 inch deep configurations. Availability varies by product.

Is plastic shelving better than metal shelving?
Neither material is automatically better for every application. Plastic shelving may be preferable where moisture and corrosion resistance matter, while particular metal systems may better fit other size, capacity or application requirements. Compare the exact products based on how and where they will be used.

Is plastic shelving easy to clean?
HDPE has a nonporous surface and the plastic shelving in this collection is designed for relatively easy maintenance. Grid top designs can also allow liquids to drain through rather than remain on the shelf surface.
