Configuration decisions
Choose the format for the job.
Working size and usable space
Compare usable surface or shelf dimensions, shelf spacing and documented load ratings. Check the complete installed footprint rather than relying on a category image.
Configuration and compatibility
Compare the actual finish, backsplash, shelves, doors, drawers or mounting arrangement offered on the exact model. Confirm what is included and what is ordered separately.
Measure twice. Choose once.
Fit means more than equipment width.
Exterior & operating footprint
Confirm overall dimensions, installed height, levelling and required working or opening clearances. Use the exact model’s dimensional drawing and installation instructions.
Capacity & access
Verify usable work surface, storage openings, shelf spacing and the documented load rating for the exact model. Confirm the actual model’s usable configuration rather than relying on the category name.
Doorway & delivery route
Measure entrances, corridors, turns, stairs and elevators. Obtain packaged dimensions and weight as well as installed dimensions. Confirm delivery and placement arrangements before ordering.
Support & rated load
Confirm the documented load rating, intended use and support requirements for the exact model. Account for the equipment and contents it will carry.
Clearances & working space
Allow access for working, opening drawers or doors and cleaning. For equipment stands, also follow the supported equipment manufacturer’s clearance requirements. An illustrative image does not establish installation clearance.
Mounting & assembly
Verify assembly instructions, mounting hardware and the supporting wall or floor. Confirm suitable anchoring for wall shelves and compatibility for overshelves, stands and stacking kits.
Capacity, output & included components
Single or Double Tier Overshelves for the intended commercial workspace. Confirm included shelves, feet, brackets, fasteners and accessories on the actual listing. Read the exact listing and manufacturer documents before comparing models.
Legs, levelling & installed height
Check supplied legs or feet, complete installed height and the manufacturer’s levelling, mounting and movement instructions. Confirm any separate support or mounting components.
Operation & ownership
Look beyond the purchase price.
Materials & working conditions
Compare documented construction, finish and load ratings for the actual model. Select materials suited to the storage environment and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Cleaning & maintenance
Review the exact manual’s cleaning, sanitizing, surface care and service intervals. Plan access to food-contact areas and removable parts, and use the specified products and procedures.
Commercial approvals & suitability
Verify certification and intended use on the actual model’s documentation. Confirm suitability for the proposed application where required; do not assume collection-wide approval.
Warranty, parts & Canadian service
Confirm current Canadian warranty terms, exclusions, installation obligations, claim procedures and local service arrangements for the exact model. Ask about parts and consumables before ordering.
