Upgrade shelving performance with a robust base kit designed for high-demand foodservice and institutional environments. This starter unit provides a reliable foundation for cantilevered storage systems, supporting heavy loads while simplifying installation and future expansion. Design teams and facility managers will appreciate a solution that combines proven capacity and NSF compliance for regulated kitchens and storage areas.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug shelving and remove items. Wipe steel uprights, legs, cross braces, and bars with a mild detergent and soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry to prevent corrosion and bacteria. Degrease vents and oven surfaces with an approved solvent to reduce fire risk. Inspect fasteners and welds; tighten or replace damaged parts to avoid failures. Maintain regular cleaning schedules for safety, efficiency, and CSA compliance.#@@#Additional Info#@#Metro SM862124-Kit SmartLever base kit features a 28-1/4"W x 25.5"D x 86-3/8"H epoxy-coated steel frame that supports 2,800 pounds and fits 24"W x 21"D Metro shelves; includes uprights, legs, cross braces, bars, hardware, and NSF certification.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#

#@@# Uprights Strength#@#
Specify upright components that resist deformation under sustained loads. Two uprights in the kit install quickly and provide vertical stability for multiple shelf levels, enabling organized storage of bulk products and equipment.
#@@# Leg Support#@#
Include two legs that anchor the assembly to floor surfaces and distribute weight evenly. Each leg accommodates the kit capacity and maintains alignment to prevent rack sway during routine use.
#@@# Cross Brace Stability#@#
Feature cross braces that lock the frame into a rigid rectangle and prevent racking under lateral forces. Two cross braces deliver immediate torsional resistance, improving safety during loading and unloading operations.
#@@# Cross Bar Flexibility#@#
Provide two cross bars that accept Metro shelves sized 24 inches wide by 21 inches deep, creating a configurable shelf plane. Installers can position bars to align with shelf clips, enabling varied shelf spacing for cartons, trays, or equipment.
#@@# Epoxy Coated Finish#@#
Protect steel components with epoxy coating to resist corrosion in humid kitchens and dishwashing areas. The coating preserves structural integrity and reduces long-term maintenance compared with uncoated steel.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
Support up to 2800 pounds of uniformly distributed load per starter unit to handle pallets, stacked crates, and bulk ingredients. Design calculations should treat this value as the maximum allowable working load for safe operation.

Clean epoxy-coated steel with a neutral pH detergent and warm water; rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent surface residue. Verify upright alignment and level the unit to distribute loads evenly. Confirm load per shelf does not exceed rated capacity of 2800 pounds and record load changes. Replace damaged components with CSA-compliant parts only.
