266 products
Buy commercial Wire/Chrome shelving (wire shelving) online in Canada: 266 products from brands like Winholt, Omcan and Thorinox, most priced $40 to $1,500 CAD. Wire shelving is open, adjustable shelving common in commercial storerooms and walk-ins. The open grid lets air circulate and gives dust less surface to settle on, and the shelves clamp onto grooved posts at adjustable heights. Chrome suits dry storage, while coated and stainless finishes are made for cold and damp rooms. Shelving is typically sold as complete stationary or mobile units, or as separate posts, shelves and accessories.

Before you buy
- Choose the finish for the room: chrome for dry storage only, epoxy-coated for walk-in coolers, freezers and humid areas, and stainless where shelving is washed down or exposed to salt or chemicals.
- Measure the length, depth and height of the space, leaving room around evaporators and lights and the clearance below sprinkler heads your fire code requires.
- Check the rated load per shelf and for the whole unit, and note that it drops as shelves get longer or when the unit goes on casters.
- Set the bottom shelf high enough to meet your health unit's off-the-floor expectation and to let staff clean underneath.
- Buy posts to suit the ceiling height, and use add-on units that share posts with the previous section to extend a run.
Common questions
Can chrome wire shelving go in a walk-in cooler?
- It is not recommended. Chrome plating is meant for dry storage, and in the condensation of a cooler or freezer it can rust and flake. Epoxy-coated shelving, usually green or grey, or stainless steel shelving is made for cold, damp rooms and holds up far longer.
How much weight can a wire shelf hold?
- It depends on the shelf's length, depth and construction and on whether the unit is stationary or mobile. Manufacturers publish a rated load per shelf and per unit, shorter shelves carry more than long ones, and mobile units carry less. Spread heavy items evenly and keep the heaviest on lower shelves.
Why choose wire shelving over solid shelving?
- Wire shelving lets air move around stored product, which helps a walk-in cool evenly, and it collects less dust and debris than a solid surface. Solid or louvered shelving suits small items that could tip through the wires, and shelf mats can be added to wire shelves for the same reason.
