Steel and Wood Shelving

Steel and Wood Shelf, Wood Store Shelves and Double-Sided Gondola Runs

Gondola shelving is the one category you buy by the bay. Get the module right and a nine-metre wall is nine numbers on a purchase order rather than a drawing exercise.

Full Range

Steel And Wood Shelf Builds

Nine supermarket shelving builds, photographed in our own studio. What separates them is not the shelf but the shape of the run: a straight wall bay, a double-sided gondola, a tower that is approached from every side, or an end unit that closes a run off. Pick the shape, then count the bays.

Timber run with a pitched roof end

A lighter timber run whose end bay carries a pitched roof, the shorthand a store uses to mark out a bakery, a farm-produce section or anywhere it wants a market feel.

Four-sided display tower

A tall tower on a timber plinth, shelved on every face and approached from any direction. It goes where two aisles cross and a straight run would leave a dead corner.

Wall run with an end promotion panel

The same dark run, this time closed with a panel that carries a promotion graphic and a low display step. End caps are where a supermarket makes its impulse sales, so the fixture is built to hold a message.

Dark wall run with a stepped end

A long single-sided run in dark timber, finished with a stepped end unit that turns the last bay into a display rather than leaving a blank cheek against the walkway.

Double-sided gondola with timber shelves

The middle-of-the-aisle workhorse: a black steel frame carrying timber shelves on both flanks, with the shelf positions adjustable up the uprights as the range changes.

Round tower with curved shelves

A drum-shaped tower with curved timber shelves inside a black frame. Every shelf is a different arc, so this is a build rather than an assembly of standard parts.

Shelving is quoted by the bay, so the number that matters on your enquiry is how many metres of wall and how many metres of island you have. Colour is a RAL or PANTONE reference held across the order, which is what keeps a shelving run, a produce island and a checkout counter in one shade.

How Many Bays Does Your Store Need?

Every question below is one we would have to ask you anyway. Answering them now takes a round trip out of the quotation.

Your enquiry goes to keshun@kssyt.com. Floor plans, CAD files and photographs of a store you like are all welcome — a hand sketch on paper is enough to start.

Buyer Questions

Steel And Wood Shelf Questions

Eight things buyers ask before they send a floor plan. If yours is not here, put it in the message box above and it gets answered with the quotation. If the words themselves are the problem, start with Racking or Shelving? Getting the Terms Right.

What size is one bay of your steel and wood shelving?

Our records quote two: single-sided at L1000 × W400 × H1700 mm per group, and double-sided at L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm per group. Both are 1000 mm long, so a run is counted in groups. A nine-metre wall is nine single-sided groups.

Why is the double-sided shelf shorter than the single-sided one?

Sight lines. A wall bay has nothing behind it worth seeing, so it goes to 1700 mm and carries more shelves. An island bay stands in the middle of the floor, and at 1700 mm it would wall the aisle off. Capping it at 1500 mm keeps the store legible from the door, which matters more than the extra shelf.

Are the shelves adjustable after the store opens?

Yes. Shelf positions run up the steel upright, so a bay set up for boxes can be reset for bottles without replacing any part. This is the ordinary way a supermarket rebalances a range in its second year, and the fixture is built expecting it.

Can I get wood store shelves rather than plain metal ones?

That is what this category is. The frame is powder coated steel and the shelves and facings are board over it, so the run has the strength of steel racking and the appearance of joinery. Where a store wants the checkout to match, our records hold a wood-faced counter, KS-209, described as the one to use in a wood-shelved interior.

What do you put at the end of a run?

An end cap, and it is worth specifying rather than treating as a leftover. The end bay faces the cross-aisle, so it gets more passing traffic than any bay in the middle of the run. We build them either as a stepped display or as a flat panel that carries a promotion graphic.

How is shelving packed and shipped?

In standard wooden export cases. Shelving flat-packs better than any other category we make, because the uprights, shelves and panels all stack, so the loading quantity per container is high compared with counters or islands. The exact figure depends on the bay count and is confirmed with the packing list.

Why do they call it gondola shelving?

Because the double-sided island bay looks like a gondola boat sitting in the middle of the aisle — a hull with goods on both flanks. The name stuck across the whole trade, so gondola shelving now means any supermarket bay built on slotted uprights, single or double sided.

What is the difference between a gondola and a wall shelf?

A gondola run is double sided and stands in open floor, so it is worked from two aisles and needs no wall. A wall shelf is single sided and borrows the wall for its back. Our recorded groups reflect that: single-sided at L1000 × W400 × H1700 mm, double-sided at L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm.
