Frequently asked questions

Common questions about METRO from 3G Electric.

What materials are used in METRO shelving units?

METRO shelving units are constructed from chrome-plated steel, 304 stainless steel, or polymer. Wire shelving typically uses steel with a chrome finish, while plastic shelving uses polymer shelves with steel or stainless steel frames. Antimicrobial resistance is available on select models, such as the AX546GX3 and 5X547GX3, which feature 304 stainless steel frames and polymer or stainless steel shelves.

What is the load capacity of METRO wire wall shelves?

METRO wire wall shelves, such as the SW53C-2-2448 model, have a load capacity of 125 lb per shelf. This capacity applies to units with two shelves, each measuring 48 inches by 24 inches. The shelves are adjustable in height and mount via posts. Always verify the specific model's load rating in the datasheet, as capacities vary by size and configuration.

Are METRO shelving units suitable for harsh environments?

Yes, METRO offers harsh-environment shelving, such as the AX546GX3 and 5X547GX3 models. These units feature 304 stainless steel frames and antimicrobial resistance, making them suitable for wet or corrosive conditions. The plastic shelving models are stationary and designed for environments requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to moisture. Check the product specifications for IP ratings or resistance properties.

What types of casters are available for METRO shelving and carts?

METRO casters include swivel and rigid configurations, with wheel diameters up to 5 inches. For example, the 5MPXGSA is a swivel stem caster with a polyurethane tread on a core wheel and a stainless steel frame. Replacement casters like the 43Y743 are designed for specific cart models, such as the 5MDRXA-21. Casters are available in unfinished or chrome finishes.

Can METRO shelving be configured as mobile units?
