Angled Shelf
Facings forward
Every shelf tips toward the shopper so the facings present rather than showing their top edges. On a tiered fixture that is the difference between five selling levels and one.
Multi-tier · angled shelves · facings forward
A multi-tier display where every shelf is angled forward. It holds far more facings than a flat table of the same footprint, and every one of them is visible from standing height.
Studio angles on white. An angled shelf, the tier step, the front stop and the base are photographed below.
A flat promotional table holds one layer of goods and shows you the tops of them. A tiered display holds four or five layers and, if the shelves are angled, shows you the fronts. That is the whole argument for this fixture: for the same footprint at an aisle head it presents several times the facings, and none of them are hidden.
It is pale timber throughout on the recorded 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm square footprint, with the tiers stepping back as they rise so the upper shelves clear the ones below. The pale tone is deliberate on a fixture this busy — four tiers of goods on a dark body becomes visually solid from a distance.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.
Angled tiers only work if the goods stay on them, which is what the first two close-ups are about.
Facings forward
Every shelf tips toward the shopper so the facings present rather than showing their top edges. On a tiered fixture that is the difference between five selling levels and one.
Holds goods on the angle
A stop along the front edge holds the goods on the incline. It is a small part and it is the one that decides whether an angled display works or ends up on the floor.
Upper tiers clear the lower
Each tier steps back as it rises so the upper shelves clear the goods on the ones below. Too little step and the top tier is unreachable; too much and the fixture eats the aisle.
Board over steel
Pale board throughout. With four or five tiers of merchandise on it, a dark body would turn the whole fixture into a solid block when seen from down the aisle.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
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.
Promotional stands flat pack as panels and shelves. Two promotion tables are on record and both are exactly 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm — KS-T-02 and KS-T-06 — which is not a coincidence: a 1000 mm square is the module that tiles into a 2000 mm run or a block of four without leaving a gap. That square is what a loading plan is worked from.
A promotion square is never the whole story — it is the punctuation between the fixtures that hold the range.
A promotion square almost always terminates a shelving run, so the two carry one colour reference.
See shelving baysLoose lines are promoted constantly, and a square at the aisle head is the cheapest way to push one.
See bulk food binsThe queue side of a lane is the highest impulse position in the store, and a promotion square is what fills it.
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 project page.
Send what you promote and how much of it. Tier count follows from both.
Send what you promote and roughly how many facings you need. The tier count and the shelf depth follow from those two numbers rather than from a standard.
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.
It is set against your range and the sight lines you want to keep. A tiered display that blocks the view across the store gets resented by your own staff, so send the ceiling height and the position with the enquiry.
Not with the front stop fitted, which is what holds them on the incline. We would not build an angled shelf without one.
For small packaged goods, clearly — several times the facings on the same footprint. For cased or bulky goods, no: those want a flat platform, and the tiered build wastes money on shelves you cannot fill.
It can, and we would ask you to think about it first. Four or five tiers of merchandise on a dark body reads as one solid mass from down the aisle, which is the opposite of what a promotion should do.
