Global Industrial DF1848N Steel Shelf Frame 48x18 in

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL DF1848N is a three-sided steel shelf frame built for demanding storage environments. Constructed from 1 inch square steel tubing, it delivers structural rigidity and load stability to shelving units where standard frames fall short. The frame measures 48 inches wide by 18 inches deep and weighs 7 pounds. Its Nexelon blue metallic finish is engineered to withstand extreme wet, hot, and cold conditions, making it well-suited for commercial kitchens, food processing areas, walk-in coolers, and similar harsh-environment installations. The DF1848N carries NSF approval for both wet and dry use, meeting the hygiene and durability standards required in regulated facilities.

This frame is designed for use in commercial and institutional shelving applications where exposure to moisture, temperature swings, or frequent washdowns is routine. Typical install settings include restaurant prep areas, refrigerated storage rooms, laundry facilities, and industrial workspaces. It functions as a structural component within a compatible shelving system, adding rigidity and support at the shelf level. Installation is performed by facility maintenance staff or commercial shelving installers as part of a complete shelving unit assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by commercial shelving or facilities maintenance personnel. Before assembly or replacement, ensure the shelving unit is fully unloaded and stable. Follow the shelving manufacturer assembly sequence to maintain proper frame alignment and load rating. In food-service environments, verify that all installed components retain their NSF-compliant finish without damage before returning the unit to service.
