Metro 1848NC Super Erecta Wire Shelf 18x48 Chrome

Product Description

The METRO 1848NC is a chrome-finished, open-wire steel shelf designed for use with Intermetro shelving systems. Built from 4-gauge steel wire, it measures 18 inches deep and 48 inches wide, providing a large, sturdy storage surface suited to demanding commercial and industrial environments. The open-wire construction promotes airflow, improves visibility of stored items, and allows light to pass through — practical advantages in walk-in coolers, stockrooms, utility areas, and food service back-of-house installations. At 12 pounds, the shelf is substantial but manageable for a single technician or installer to handle during rack assembly or reconfiguration.

This shelf is intended for use within Intermetro shelving systems, where it functions as a direct component rather than an aftermarket add-on. Typical applications include commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and industrial storage areas that require open-wire shelving for code compliance, sanitation, or ventilation purposes. The chrome finish resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down, making it well-suited for environments where cleanliness standards are enforced.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a maintenance technician or facilities professional familiar with Metro shelving post-and-clip systems. Before reconfiguring or adding shelves to an existing rack, remove stored loads from the affected sections to prevent tipping. Follow the shelving system manufacturer's load rating guidelines and do not exceed the rated capacity per shelf. In food service or healthcare settings, verify that installation meets applicable local facility codes and sanitation requirements.
