Expert Review and  Insights

The Craven CE117 is a prime example of British-made, no-nonsense engineering. It’s not trying to be flashy; it's designed for one job—to hold a lot of weight reliably for a very long time. The nylon coating is a significant upgrade over standard finishes, especially for businesses using cold storage, as it provides a robust barrier against the daily grind of a commercial environment.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: Its build quality is exceptional; this unit is clearly made to endure years of heavy commercial use.
  • Con: The fixed 1475mm width means you need to measure carefully; it's not for very compact spaces.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Granary, a bustling cafe and  bakery in York, needed to upgrade their chaotic storeroom to cope with increasing wholesale orders. Their old wooden shelving was difficult to clean and  wasn't suitable for their new walk-in chiller.

"We were constantly shifting things around just to find ingredients. Installing two of the Craven units has completely streamlined our stock rotation. Everything has its place, it’s easy to see what we have, and  the team can find what they need in seconds. It's made our prep so much faster."

David Chen – Head Baker

Since the installation, The Old Granary has reduced its weekly stock-take time by an estimated 40% and  eliminated ingredient wastage caused by poor visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before starting, lay out all the parts and  check you have everything.
  • Build the unit on a level surface to ensure maximum stability.
  • Use a rubber mallet (not a hammer) to gently tap the shelves into the grooved posts for a secure fit.
  • Once built, give it a gentle shake to ensure it's rigid before you start loading it up.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down shelves regularly with a damp cloth and  a mild, food-safe detergent.
  • Avoid dragging the unit when fully loaded to prevent stress on the posts and  feet.
  • Distribute weight as evenly as possible across each shelf to stay within the 200kg limit.
  • Periodically check that the shelf collars are still firmly seated in their grooves.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Shelving

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect catering equipment shelving for your space.

Measure Your Space Twice

Check the height, width, and  depth of your area. Remember to account for ceiling clearance and  space to walk around the unit.

Calculate Your Load

Think about what you'll be storing. Heavy items like flour sacks and  liquid containers need a high-capacity unit like this one.

Match to the Environment

Will it be in a damp cold room, a freezer, or a dry store? Choose a material like nylon-coated steel that can handle the conditions.

Prioritise Hygiene

Look for smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and  hygiene certifications (like NF compliance) to make cleaning simple and  effective.

Check for Adjustability

Your storage needs can change. Adjustable shelves give you the flexibility to store items of all shapes and  sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this commercial wire shelving unit difficult to assemble?

A: Not at all. It uses a simple grooved post system that doesn't require any nuts or bolts. Most people can assemble it in under 20 minutes with a rubber mallet.

Q: Can I really use this in a walk-in freezer?

A: Absolutely. The nylon coating is designed for it, and  the unit is rated for temperatures as low as -40°C.

Q: What is the weight limit for each individual shelf?

A: The overall capacity is 800kg. With four shelves, that's an impressive 200kg per shelf, assuming the weight is distributed evenly.

Q: Are the shelves easy to adjust once built?

A: Yes, you can reposition the shelves by removing the items, tapping the shelf upwards to release it, and  relocating the collars to the desired height.

Q: How should I clean the nylon coating?

A: A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth and  a food-safe multi-purpose cleaner is all that's needed. Avoid using abrasive scourers.

Q: What does 'NF Food Hygiene Compliant' mean?

A: It means the product has been certified by NF (Norme Française) as meeting high standards for safety, cleanability, and  quality suitable for professional food environments.

Q: Is the height of 1700mm fixed?

A: Yes, the height of the vertical posts is fixed at 1700mm. However, the four shelves within that height are fully adjustable.

Q: Can I put hot pans on it?

A: The shelving is rated up to +110°C, so it can handle warm items. However, we advise against placing items directly from an oven onto it to prolong the life of the coating.

The Craven Standard: Built for British Kitchens

When you choose Craven, you're investing in more than just a piece of metal; you're buying into a legacy of British manufacturing that understands the demands of a professional kitchen. This Craven CE117 shelving isn't designed to be replaced in a few years. It's a long-term asset built for reliability and  operational peace of mind. The robust construction means fewer worries about collapses or damage, while the hygiene-focused design helps you stay compliant with minimal effort. This is the 'buy it once, buy it right' philosophy in action. In a busy commercial setting, having equipment you can trust implicitly frees up your time and  energy to focus on food, service, and  customers. That's the real value—storage that works, day in and  day out, without ever being a concern.

Why Nylon Coating Makes All the Difference

You've probably seen chrome or zinc-plated shelves before, but the nylon coated wire shelving on this Craven unit is in a different league. Think of it less like a coat of paint and  more like a tough, seamless, waterproof jacket that's permanently bonded to the steel. This is crucial in a kitchen environment, especially in damp places like walk-in fridges or pot wash areas. While other coatings can chip or scratch, leaving the steel underneath exposed to rust, the thick nylon layer resists knocks and  scrapes. More importantly, it's non-porous, meaning there are no tiny crevices for bacteria to hide in, making it incredibly easy to wipe clean and  keep hygienic for those all-important EHO visits.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: An ideal restaurant storage wire rack for organising walk-in fridges, freezers, and  dry store areas efficiently.
  • Bakeries & Patisseries: Perfect for storing heavy sacks of flour, sugar, and  large trays of finished goods neatly off the floor.
  • Catering Companies: Use it in your central kitchen to streamline prep or for organising equipment and  non-perishable stock.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Keep your stockroom in perfect order with this heavy-duty shelving, great for boxes, jars, and  supplies.
