Shelving units
Shelving is rarely treated as “equipment”, but it controls how fast people can work and how well stock is rotated. When storage is wrong, prep benches fill up, staff start stacking items where they shouldn’t, and hygiene becomes harder than it needs to be.
How shelving improves workflow
Well-planned shelving keeps items at point-of-use, reduces searching, and makes cleaning routines simpler. Visibility matters: if staff can’t see it, they duplicate it or forget it.
How Denby specifies shelving
We look at environment first — dry store, wash-up, cold room — and then choose a system that won’t corrode, sag or become a cleaning nightmare. We also plan:
- Reach height and safe loading
- Bay widths and aisle access (including trolleys)
- Labelling and stock rotation behaviour
Common mistakes we help clients avoid
- Domestic shelving in wet or cold environments
- Overloading bays and creating manual handling risks
- Storage layouts that block access and slow down picking
