Wall unit · glazed bins · slotted uprights
The only single sided fixture in this category. It stands against a wall rather than in the floor, with glazed bins at waist height, closed cabinets below and slotted uprights above so the shelving over the bins can be moved.
One studio angle on white, with three close-ups below. If you need a particular view before ordering, ask and we will photograph it.
Every other build in this category is an island. This one is a wall unit, and it exists because a dry goods aisle usually has one side that is a wall and no store wants to waste it. Glazed bins sit at waist height where they are easy to scoop from, the run below them is closed cabinet, and the wall above carries shelving on slotted uprights.
Those uprights are the part worth noticing. They are perforated at a regular pitch up their full height, so the shelves above the bin line move as the range changes rather than being fixed at the height the fixture was ordered at. It is the same principle as a gondola bay, applied to a fixture that also has to hold loose goods.

A wall unit has three jobs at once: hold loose goods, store the refill underneath, and carry shelving that moves as the range changes.
Perforated at a regular pitch
The perforation runs the full height of the upright. It is what lets a shelf move up or down as the range changes, and it is the difference between a wall unit that lasts a decade and one that is wrong the first time the buyer changes.
Waist height, over closed base
The bins sit at waist height with the closed cabinet run under them. Waist height is where a scoop is comfortable, and putting the storage directly beneath means the refill sack is a step away from the bin it fills.
Carried on the uprights
The shelf above the bin line is angled to tip its facings toward the aisle. On a wall unit the upper shelves are above eye level for many shoppers, and the angle is what keeps them shoppable rather than decorative.

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, and a bulk island is the one that travels best.
Bulk islands travel as panels — carcase sides, shelves, bin rails, 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.

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. That is the expensive end of the freight scale, and it is the reason a counter order and a bulk order load so differently.
Because this island ships as panels rather than assembled, the container arithmetic runs on panel count instead of on finished size — which is why two islands of the same footprint can load very differently depending on how many compartments each one carries. We do not publish a units-per-container figure for that reason. It is worked out against your actual order and comes back on the packing list together with the case dimensions, once the island size is confirmed.
A bulk island rarely arrives on its own. These three categories share the dry goods aisle with it, and putting them on one order is what lets a single colour reference run across the whole aisle, because it is then one batch of coating rather than three.
Loose grain and loose dry goods almost always share an aisle, and both want stainless wherever a scoop lands. Ordering them together keeps the two halves of the aisle in one timber.
See grain racksThe bays that run behind and alongside a bulk island are what a shopper sees while standing at it, so they carry the same colour and the same board tone.
See shelving baysLoose lines are promoted constantly, and a 1000 mm promotion square at the head of the aisle is the cheapest way to push one without rebuilding the island.

Wall units are quoted on wall length and ceiling height. Send both and any obstructions along the run.
Send the wall length and the ceiling height, and flag any door, column or service run along it. Those obstructions are what decide the bay count on a wall build.

Yes, and it is the main practical argument for slotted uprights over a fixed frame. The bins hang on the same uprights that carry the shelving above them, so a bay that opens as loose goods can become packaged shelving without the unit being replaced.
That is the normal arrangement: wall units down one side, islands down the middle. Ordering them together is what keeps one colour reference across the aisle, because it becomes a single batch of powder coating rather than two.
They run at a regular pitch up the full height, which is what makes the shelving adjustable. The exact pitch is confirmed on the drawing with your order, because it is set against the shelf depths you need rather than fixed across the range.
A tall single sided unit has to be secured back to the wall. The brackets ship with it and the fixing points are marked on the assembly drawing, so the fitter on your side knows where they go.
