What temperature can cooler shelving withstand?

Our powder-coated and zinc-chromate finishes are specifically designed for cold storage environments including walk-in coolers, freezers, and beer caves. Corrosion-resistant finish withstands humidity and temperature extremes.

What is the weight capacity per shelf?

All-steel shelving is rated for 200 lbs per shelf, suitable for case beer and bulk beverage storage. Wire deck options promote cold air circulation while maintaining the same 200 lb load rating.

Are modular expansion units available?

Yes, our shelving systems are fully modular. Add units as your storage needs grow. Wall-mounted options free floor space. Corner units and wire deck configurations available for any layout.

Does shelving meet food safety requirements?

Our cooler shelving is food-safe for food storage environments. Open wire designs promote cold air circulation and easy sanitization to meet health code requirements.

What shelf depth options are available?

Shelving available in 12, 18, and 24-inch depths. Wall-mounted units available in 12-18 inch depths. Floor units typically 18-24 inches deep to accommodate case beer storage.

How long does installation take?

Our modular shelving system design allows for quick installation. A typical full beer cave setup takes 4-8 hours depending on size. Starter kits connect seamlessly with add-on units, and all hardware is included.

What floor preparation is needed?

A level floor is preferred but not required. All shelving system units include adjustable leveling feet to accommodate uneven surfaces. We recommend a clean, sealed concrete floor for best results.

Can I install corner units myself?

Yes! Our 30" deep L-shaped and U-shaped corner units are designed for easy installation. They integrate seamlessly with standard runs and include complete assembly instructions.

Are ceiling-mount extensions available?

Yes, we offer ceiling-mount support brackets for additional structural stability in larger beer caves. These are recommended for runs exceeding 12 feet or in high-traffic environments.

How much weight can each shelf hold?

Each shelf is rated for 200 lbs thanks to our heavy-duty all-steel construction. This commercial-grade capacity handles cases of beer and bulk beverages with ease.

Can I adjust shelf heights?

Absolutely. Shelves adjust in 1" increments, allowing you to customize spacing for different product sizes—from tall craft beer bottles to standard cans and cases.

What are product blocker bars?

Blocker bars are rear-mounted rails that prevent products from being pushed off the back of shelves during stocking. They're essential for maintaining organized, safe displays.

What's the difference between 30" and 24" depths?

Our 30" deep shelving is the standard configuration for maximum product capacity. The 24" ADA-compliant depth is designed for aisles that require wider clearance for wheelchair accessibility.

What aisle width is required for ADA compliance?

ADA requires a minimum 36" clear aisle width. We recommend 44" for two-way traffic. Our 24" depth units help you achieve compliance while maximizing storage capacity.

Can I mix depth configurations?

Yes! We offer transition units that allow you to seamlessly connect 30" and 24" deep sections within the same cooler. This lets you optimize both capacity and accessibility.

What color finishes are available for the shelving system?

Our Beer Cave shelving system comes standard in black powder-coat, but we offer a variety of custom color finishes to match your store branding. Popular options include white, gray, red, blue, and custom PMS color matching. The powder-coat finish is food-safe, durable, and backed by our lifetime rust warranty.

Can I order custom sizes or configurations?

Absolutely! While we offer standard 4ft, 8ft, and 12ft runs, we can fabricate shelving systems to fit any walk-in cooler dimensions. We specialize in L-shaped, U-shaped, and custom corner solutions. Our team will work with you on CAD drawings to ensure a perfect fit.

How do I clean the shelving?

Simply wipe down with a food-safe cleaner and damp cloth. Our powder-coat finish resists staining and is easy to maintain. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

What warranty coverage is included?

All Beer Cave shelving systems include a lifetime structural warranty and lifetime rust warranty. Our food-safe construction ensures commercial-grade durability.
