Metro Shelving Accessories: What You Need to Know

Metro shelf labels and clips give operators the ability to designate shelves for specific tasks, increasing organization and decreasing clutter. Metro shelving accessories, such as storage baskets and shelf dividers, help keep items separate and save time when sorting desired ingredients. We also carry Metro replacement posts, shelf edges, and wall accessory kits. The less time operators spend searching for the right item, the more time they can spend on other necessary tasks. Metro shelving parts help operators optimize their workflow and create a more efficient workplace.

Common Questions About Metro Shelving Parts

How should I use Metro shelf labels?

Metro shelf labels are a handy tool that enable operators to indicate specific uses for shelves. Accompanying Metro shelving clips give you a secure, prominent place to put labels, helping eliminate confusion when finding what you need. This system helps new employees locate items and lets operators keep the space organized. People are likelier to put an item away neatly if there are labels directing item placement; operators can establish a uniform storage system across their establishment instead of having several people using their own preferred storage arrangements. Consider purchasing Metro shelving clips and labels if you have difficulty keeping your storage areas clean or organized.

Can I add casters to any Metro shelving unit?

Add-on casters are designed to work with a specific model of Metro shelving and won't necessarily work with other models. Ensure that the casters you're interested in purchasing will fit with the shelving you already have. More importantly, verify the casters will hold the weight of your shelving. Since their construction necessitates weak points that can't hold the weight of a shelving unit at maximum capacity, none of Metro's casters are rated to support more than 300 pounds. Shelves holding more than this amount shouldn't be fitted with casters. Consider dividing your shelving into smaller units and fitting each segment with casters if necessary.

What Metro shelving replacement parts are available?

We carry a wide range of Metro shelving replacement parts to help operators get their shelves back in working order without the expense of ordering a new unit. Shelving posts, shelf arms, casters, and dividers can all be replaced for a fraction of the cost of a new shelving unit. Consult the product specification page for each Metro shelving replacement part to ensure it fits the shelving system you're already utilizing.

What other Metro shelving parts are available?

KaTom carries a wide variety of Metro shelving accessories and replacement parts. The most common are shelf labels and clips to help keep your supplies organized, along with replacement shelving posts. We also carry wall-mount shelf supports, which provide additional stability to your shelving by attaching the unit firmly to the wall. Baskets and dividers aid in organization, while shelf ledges prevent stored items from spilling over the edge of the shelving onto the floor, which is helpful particularly when storing large quantities of loose items or items that are rounded or irregularly shaped.
