Alera SW50-4824BA 48x24x72 4-Shelf Wire Starter Kit office furniture

Industrial wire shelving for commercial use

The Alera SW50-4824BA starter kit provides four adjustable shelves measuring 48 inches wide by 24 inches deep, standing 72 inches tall. Its open wire construction promotes air circulation and reduces dust accumulation in warehouses, restaurants and retail back-rooms. NSF certification confirms suitability for both wet and dry environments. The black anthracite finish resists corrosion in demanding settings.

Replaces fixed-height shelving

Snap-together components lock in place without tools, cutting setup time to minutes. Each shelf adjusts on one-inch increments and supports up to 1,000 lbs when weight is evenly distributed. The kit converts from a single four-tier unit into two separate two-tier racks, so you can reconfigure storage as inventory changes. This flexibility makes the jump worthwhile whenever fixed shelves or bolted frames slow down reorganisation.

Limits of wire shelving in regulated spaces

The open grid cannot contain loose powders, small fasteners or liquids without adding liners or bins. NSF food-equipment certification covers the frame material and finish, not the hygiene of items placed on the shelves. Uneven loads or point loads above the rated capacity will deform wires, so pallets or heavy machinery parts must be centred. Buyers needing enclosed cabinets, mobile units or integrated lighting should look elsewhere.
