Double sided · angled base shelves · L1000 x W800 x H1500
The standard double sided run, and one of only two shelving builds carrying a recorded size. Warm timber shelves in a black frame, with the bottom shelf angled so the lowest facings are still readable.
Studio angles on white. The angled base shelf, the upright, the shelf bracket and the back panel are photographed below.
This is the backbone fixture of a supermarket: a double sided gondola worked from two aisles at once, built in groups so the run follows the floor rather than a catalogue length. Our records hold the double sided group at L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm, which makes it one of only two shelving builds in this category with a dimension we can quote rather than estimate.
The detail worth paying for is at the bottom. The lowest shelf is angled rather than flat, so its facings tip toward the shopper instead of presenting their top edges to somebody standing over them. On a full height bay the bottom shelf is the one that goes unsold, and the angle is the cheapest fix there is.

A gondola is bought on its adjustability and its bottom shelf. Both are in these four.
Tips toward the shopper
The bottom shelf is set at an angle. A flat shelf at ankle height shows a standing shopper the top edges of the packets and nothing else, which is why the lowest shelf in most stores is the one that does not sell.
Regular pitch, full height
The perforation runs the full height of the upright, so shelves move as the range changes. It is the difference between a bay that lasts a decade and one that is wrong the first time the buyer changes.
Hooks into the upright
The shelf hooks in rather than bolting. One person resets a bay in minutes, which matters because a store that has to book a contractor to move a shelf never moves it.
Between the two faces
A board back panel separates the two faces so stock cannot be pushed through from the other aisle. It is also what a shopper reads behind the product, which is why it is board rather than bare steel.

Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
This model
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
Shelving is the category flat packing was invented for: uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths all travel as flat strapped bundles, and a container of shelving carries several times the store area that the same container of assembled counters would. Two group sizes are on record — single-sided at L1000 × W400 × H1700 mm and double-sided at L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm — and a loading plan is worked from those.
Shelving is the backbone of the store and everything else is arranged against it. These three categories are what fill the gaps a shelving run leaves.
The islands that sit between shelving runs carry the loose lines the bays cannot, and they take the same colour reference.
See bulk food binsA shelving run needs a head, and a 1000 mm promotion square is what turns the end of a bay into selling space.
See promotional display tablesThe bays a shopper faces while queuing are read as part of the front of store, so they carry the same finish as the lanes.
See checkout countersHow many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the equipment lists by store size.
Recorded groups are L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm. Send the aisle length and the bay count comes back.
Send the aisle length and the ceiling height. Recorded double sided groups are on file, so the bay count and shelf count follow directly from those two numbers.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your layout and it is answered alongside the quotation.
The double sided group is on record at L1000 × W800 × H1500 mm and the single sided group at L1000 × W400 × H1700 mm. Longer runs are multiples of the group, so send the aisle length and the bay count comes back with the drawing.
Yes. The uprights are slotted at a regular pitch up their full height and the shelves hook in, so one person can reset a bay without tools. The exact pitch is confirmed on the drawing with your order.
Shelf loading is specified against what you are stocking, because a bay of tinned goods and a bay of cereal are not the same problem. Tell us the heaviest line going on it and the shelf gauge comes back on the quotation.
Yes, and most stores do — double sided down the middle of the floor, single sided against the walls. Both run on the same system so the shelves and the finishes carry across.
