Collection: NSF Wall Mounted Shelving

NSF Wall Mounted Shelving for Commercial Kitchens and Food Service

NSF wall mounted shelving puts storage on the wall instead of the floor, right where kitchen staff need it: above prep tables, over sinks, along the cook line, and in tight dry storage rooms. Every shelf in this collection is NSF listed for food service use, so it can go in areas that are inspected for sanitation.

The collection includes aluminum wall shelves, wall-mounted wire shelving in fixed chrome shelves and adjustable units, and wall mounted wine racks in chrome or black epoxy. Choosing between them mostly comes down to whether the area stays dry, how much weight each shelf needs to carry, and how much wall space you have.

Material & Environment

Choosing an NSF Wall Shelf Material for Wet or Dry Areas

All of these shelves are NSF listed, but they are not all meant for the same spot in the kitchen. Start with where the shelf will hang.

Aluminum Wall Shelves

Wet or dry areas. Aluminum carries a lifetime guarantee against rust and corrosion. Solid shelves suit general storage, and T-bar shelves have 1-3/4" gaps that let water drain and air circulate. These are a common choice above sinks, dish areas, and prep stations.

Wall-Mounted Wire Shelving

Dry areas only. Open chrome wire keeps items visible and lets air move through, with up to 200 lbs per shelf. It is a good fit for dry goods, packaging, and smallwares in prep areas and dry storage rooms, away from moisture.

Black Epoxy Wall Mounted Wine Racks

Wet or dry areas. Our black epoxy racks have an antimicrobial, rust- and corrosion-resistant finish and a 15-year limited warranty, so they hold up behind bars and in service areas.

Chrome Wall Mounted Wine Racks

Dry areas only. Chrome wire cradles hold bottles on their sides for storage rooms, dining areas, and back-of-house wine storage that stays dry.

NSF Aluminum Wall Shelf Types and Weight Capacities

New Age Industrial aluminum wall shelves come in five styles. Capacity depends on both the style and the width. Wider shelves hold less weight, and capacities assume the load is spread evenly.

Shelf Style Depth and Width Capacity Best For
Standard Solid (18 gauge) 12"d x 24"–60"w 200 lbs (24"w) to 100 lbs (60"w) Lighter supplies, containers, and smallwares
Heavy Duty Solid (12 gauge) 12", 15", or 18"d x 24"–60"w 300 lbs (24"–36"w) to 150 lbs (60"w) Heavier stock and deeper items over prep areas
T-Bar 20" or 24"d x 36"–60"w 700 lbs (36"w) to 500 lbs (60"w) Heavy pots, equipment, and items that need to drain or air dry
T-Bar with Hanger and Hooks 20"d x 36"–60"w 700 lbs (36"w) to 500 lbs (60"w) Cook lines and prep stations, with 6 to 8 hooks under the shelf for utensils and pans
Inverted 20"d x 36"–60"w 500 lbs Spots where the mounting rail needs to sit above the shelf, such as over a sink

Solid aluminum shelves can also be mounted upside down so the brackets act as side barriers. Mounting hardware is not included with aluminum wall shelves.

Wall-Mounted Wire Shelving: Fixed Chrome Shelves vs. Adjustable Units

Shelving Inc. wall-mounted wire shelving comes in two styles. Both are chrome, hold up to 200 lbs per shelf, and are for indoor, dry storage. The difference is whether the shelf is fixed in place or hangs from posts so its height can change.

Chrome Wall-Mounted Wire Shelves

Chrome wall-mounted shelving is a single wire shelf on fixed 7"-tall brackets, available from 8" to 24" deep and up to 72" wide. The shelf sits about 1" off the wall. It is a simple way to add one level of storage above a prep table, sink area, or workstation.

Adjustable Wall-Mounted Wire Shelving

Adjustable units hang shelves from wall-mounted posts, so each shelf can be moved in 1" increments as your storage needs change. They come with 1 to 4 shelves:

  • 1-shelf units: 14"h posts, 8" to 24" deep.
  • 2-, 3-, and 4-shelf units: 24"h, 34"h, and 44"h posts, 8" to 18" deep.

Adjustable units sit about 3" off the wall. Because the shelves ride on posts, you can start with one shelf and add more later. Add-on kits and individual shelves, brackets, and posts are available in wall-mounted wire shelving.

NSF Wall Mounted Wine Racks for Restaurants and Bars

Wall mounted wine racks keep bottles cradled on their sides and off the floor. They come in two finishes:

  • Chrome: 14"d, 24" to 48"w, with 1 to 4 adjustable shelves. Each shelf holds 6 to 12 bottles and up to 100 lbs. Dry areas only.
  • Black epoxy: 14"d, 36" or 48"w, in single and double units up to 54"h. Each shelf holds 9 or 12 bottles, for up to 96 bottles per unit. Suitable for wet or dry areas.

Follow the Assembly Guide When Mounting NSF Wall Shelves

Posted capacities assume the shelf is installed correctly and the load is spread evenly. Follow the assembly guide for your shelving when mounting it.

Step-by-step instructions for wall-mounted and adjustable wire shelving are on our assembly guides page.

NSF Wall Mounted Shelving FAQs

Answers to common questions about choosing and installing NSF wall shelving.

What does NSF certification mean for wall shelving?

NSF certification means the shelving has been tested to meet NSF/ANSI sanitation standards for food service equipment, including materials and design that can be cleaned effectively. It is often expected in commercial kitchens and other inspected areas. Our NSF Certified Shelving Guide explains it in more detail.

Is mounting hardware included?

Mounting hardware is not included with aluminum wall shelves. For wire shelving and wine racks, check what's included on each product page. Hooks shown with some wire shelving are sold separately.

How far do wall shelves stick out from the wall?

Fixed chrome wall-mounted shelves sit about 1" off the wall, and adjustable wire units and chrome wine racks sit about 3" off the wall. On both, the bracket extends about 1" past the front of the shelf. Add these to the shelf depth when checking clearance over prep tables and walkways.

Can I add more shelves later?

Yes. Adjustable wire units can be expanded with add-on kits or individual shelves, brackets, and posts, all found in wall-mounted wire shelving. Aluminum shelves are individual units, so you can add more at any height.

Can chrome wire wall shelving go in a walk-in cooler?

No. The chrome wall-mounted wire shelving and chrome wine racks here are for dry storage only. For walk-ins, dish areas, and other damp spots, choose aluminum wall shelves or black epoxy wine racks.

Do you have wall shelving for bar and bottle display?

The wine racks in this collection work well for bottle storage. For lighted bottle displays and other front-of-house options, see restaurant wall shelves.
