Stop compromising storage integrity for expansion. This add-on shelving kit integrates with existing systems to extend capacity while preserving load ratings and NSF compliance, enabling facilities to scale storage without reengineering their footprint. Designed for institutional and commercial kitchens, the kit delivers structural continuity and predictable performance for high-turn environments.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment. Remove shelves and loose debris. Wipe epoxy-coated steel surfaces with mild detergent and warm water, using a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Clean cross braces, bars, uprights, legs, and hardware; remove grease buildup in joints. Inspect NSF-certified components and replace worn parts. Reassemble when fully dry. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, reduces fire risk, lowers energy use, and extends equipment life.#@@#Additional Info#@#Metro SM861848-ADD SmartLever kit fits 48"W x 18"D shelves and includes one upright, one leg, two cross braces, two cross bars, and hardware; epoxy-coated steel supports 2800 lbs, measures 50.19" W x 22.5" D x 86.38" H, and is NSF certified.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop compromising storage integrity for expansion. This add-on shelving kit integrates with existing systems to extend capacity while preserving load ratings and NSF compliance, enabling facilities to scale storage without reengineering their footprint. Designed for institutional and commercial kitchens, the kit delivers structural continuity and predictable performance for high-turn environments.
#@@# Upright Assembly#@#
The kit includes one upright engineered for epoxy-coated steel construction and an overall height of 86.38 inches to match standard racking. Installers achieve consistent alignment with existing frames, maintaining shelf plane and access ergonomics.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
Engineered components sustain a combined capacity of 2800 pounds when integrated with compatible shelving, supporting heavy cookware, bulk dry goods, and cold storage bins. Facilities achieve required load ratings for inventory planning while meeting operational safety margins.
#@@# Cross Brace System#@#
Two cross braces and two cross bars provide lateral stabilization to prevent rack sway under dynamic loading and during cleaning cycles. The bracing maintains geometry across the full width of 50.19 inches, ensuring shelf levels remain true under repeated use.
#@@# Modular Compatibility#@#
The add-on kit fits 48 inches wide by 18 inches deep Metro shelves and matches SmartLever spacing, allowing rapid expansion without custom fabrication. Crew members install the unit using supplied hardware, reducing downtime during retrofits or service upgrades.
#@@# Corrosion Resistance#@#
The epoxy-coated steel finish resists moisture and common kitchen detergents to reduce maintenance cycles and preserve surface integrity. Hospital and CSA-regulated environments benefit from a durable coating that supports NSF certification retention.
