METRO

METRO is a brand historically associated with wire shelving and storage systems for commercial, healthcare, and industrial environments. The product line includes Super Erecta and Quick-Adjust shelving, caster kits, and specialized carts. METRO shelving typically uses a modular design: posts, shelves, and accessories that assemble without tools, allowing reconfiguration as storage needs change. Materials include steel wire with corrosion-resistant finishes, polymer decks, and antimicrobial additives in some shelf surfaces. Load capacities vary by shelf type; for example, the Quick-Adjust antimicrobial plastic-decked shelf (SKU 5JNP3) is rated for 800 lb. Caster kits are available with rubber, polyurethane, or steel wheels, in swivel and stem configurations, to add mobility. METRO also supplies specialized carts, such as the polymer medical supply cart (SKU 6EJF1) with swivel casters. 3G Electric stocks a broad range of METRO components—over 700 SKUs—including shelves, posts, casters, and carts. We support global procurement with logistics coordination and technical documentation. Our catalog provides spec-level detail: dimensions, materials, capacities, and part numbers, so buyers can match components to existing installations or new projects. For maintenance and operations teams, METRO’s modularity means individual parts can be replaced without replacing entire units. The brand’s focus on interchangeable components and durable materials aligns with environments where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and load capacity are specified. 3G Electric supplies METRO products to commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, laboratories, and industrial storage areas. We do not manufacture METRO products; we distribute them. Our role is to provide accurate product data, availability, and order fulfillment. For technical buyers, the key considerations are shelf capacity, material compatibility with cleaning agents, caster load ratings, and dimensional compatibility with existing METRO posts and shelves. The product data we publish reflects manufacturer specifications. Where a specification is not provided, we do not infer it. METRO’s product families include: wire shelving (Super Erecta, Quick-Adjust), polymer-decked shelving, caster kits (stem and swivel), and specialty carts. Accessories include shelf dividers, ledges, and post clamps. The shelving systems are designed for static loads; dynamic loads (when mobile) depend on caster selection. Caster kits are sold separately and must be matched to post diameter and load requirements. METRO part numbers follow a consistent scheme, which helps with cross-referencing. 3G Electric’s catalog includes METRO SKUs with manufacturer part numbers, such as MQ1836G for the antimicrobial shelf and PK0059G for a caster kit. We provide these details to support procurement and maintenance planning. For international customers, we coordinate shipping and export documentation. Our focus is on supplying the correct part with the correct specifications, not on brand promotion. METRO products are used where organized, adjustable storage is required, and 3G Electric supplies them globally.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about METRO from 3G Electric.

What is the load capacity of METRO Quick-Adjust antimicrobial plastic-decked shelves?

The METRO Quick-Adjust antimicrobial plastic-decked shelf, such as SKU 5JNP3 (MPN MQ1836G), is rated for 800 lb capacity. This rating applies to static loads when the shelf is properly installed on compatible METRO posts. Capacity may be reduced if the shelving unit is mobile or if weight is not evenly distributed. Always verify the capacity of the specific shelf model and the supporting posts. For dynamic applications, consult caster load ratings. 3G Electric provides the manufacturer’s stated capacity in the product specifications.

Are METRO caster kits compatible with all METRO wire shelving posts?

METRO caster kits are designed for specific post diameters and shelving systems, such as Super Erecta. Compatibility depends on the post size and the caster stem diameter. For example, SKU 8CTM1 (MPN PK0059G) includes two swivel casters with rubber wheels and steel construction, intended for METRO wire shelving. Before ordering, verify the post diameter and the caster’s stem dimensions. 3G Electric lists caster specifications, including wheel diameter, material, and part number, to help match components. When in doubt, provide your existing post part number for cross-reference.

What materials are used in METRO caster wheels, and how do they affect performance?

METRO caster wheels are available in rubber, polyurethane, and steel. Rubber wheels (e.g., SKU 8CTM1) provide quiet operation and floor protection but may have lower load capacities. Polyurethane wheels with nylon cores (e.g., SKU 21R984, MPN 5PC) offer higher load capacity and resistance to oils and chemicals, suitable for commercial kitchens and laboratories. Steel wheels are for heavy-duty industrial applications. The caster body may be nickel-plated for corrosion resistance. Selection depends on floor type, load, and environment. 3G Electric provides wheel material and dimensions in the product data.

Can METRO shelving be used in healthcare environments?

Yes, METRO offers products intended for healthcare, such as the Quick-Adjust antimicrobial plastic-decked shelf (SKU 5JNP3) and specialized medical supply carts (SKU 6EJF1). The antimicrobial additive is incorporated into the polymer deck. These products are used to organize and transport medical supplies. However, healthcare facilities should verify that materials meet their infection-control protocols. METRO shelving is modular and can be reconfigured. 3G Electric supplies these products globally; we do not claim specific certifications unless provided by the manufacturer. Always review the product specifications for material compatibility with cleaning agents.

What is the difference between METRO Super Erecta and Quick-Adjust shelving?

Super Erecta is METRO’s original wire shelving system, featuring a modular design with posts and shelves that assemble without tools. Quick-Adjust is a variation that allows shelf height adjustment without disassembling the unit. Both use similar posts and accessories. Quick-Adjust shelves may include polymer decks, as in SKU 5JNP3. The choice depends on how often shelf heights need to change. Super Erecta is widely used in storage and commercial kitchens; Quick-Adjust is useful where frequent reconfiguration is required. 3G Electric stocks components for both systems, including shelves, posts, and casters.
