Heavy-duty wire shelving kit

The Alera SW50-4818BA is a four-shelf starter kit built for commercial and restaurant environments that require robust storage. Its Black Anthracite finish carries National Sanitation Foundation certification for both wet and dry conditions. The open wire design promotes air circulation around stored items. Snap-together assembly allows the unit to be ready in minutes without specialised tools.

Per-shelf load limit and configuration

Each shelf supports up to 1,250 lbs when weight is evenly distributed across the surface. The total unit capacity reaches 5,000 lbs across all four levels combined. The kit can be configured as a single four-tier rack or split into two separate two-tier racks to suit different layout requirements. Exceeding the per-shelf rating risks structural failure even if the overall total is not reached.

NSF-certified finish for regulated spaces

The Black Anthracite coating is the single specification that determines suitability for health-inspected areas such as commercial kitchens or medical supply rooms. Without this certification the shelving cannot be used where sanitation standards mandate approved surfaces. Buyers who do not need NSF compliance for wet or dry environments may find a non-certified alternative more cost-effective.
