Perforated Shelves 400 — BHS offers stainless steel perforated shelves with a 400 mm depth for equipping professional HoReCa kitchens and storage rooms: the perforated shelf differs from a solid shelf by having small holes or a grid structure on the surface — this ensures better air circulation, allows moisture to drain away, and is lighter compared to a solid shelf; the 400 mm depth is a compact size, suitable for narrower spaces or small storage areas; the perforated shelf series is also available in other depths — 500 mm, 600 mm and 700 mm; BHS supplies these shelves together with Perforated Shelves 500 and Perforated Shelves 600 to HoReCa businesses.

Advantages of the perforated shelf construction and 400 mm size
Perforated Shelves 400 — the perforated shelf structure provides several advantages compared to solid shelves. Air circulation — holes or grid structure allow air to circulate freely around stored products; reduces moisture on the shelf surface; particularly important for food storage; see Perforated Shelves 500 mm. Lighter weight — perforation reduces the amount of material and the overall shelf weight; easier to transport and install. 400 mm depth — suitable for smaller storage areas; does not take up much space; useful for corner storage or narrow niches. Visibility — perforation makes it easier to see contents from the side; quickly locate the necessary stock.
400 mm use of perforated shelves in HoReCa
Perforated Shelves 400 — 400 mm deep perforated shelves are suitable for many applications. Kitchen utensil storage — small dishes, tools, instruments and items that are frequently used; 400 mm depth is sufficient for most small kitchen utensils; see Perforated Shelves 600 mm. Product storage — boxes, cans, bags of dry products; air circulation reduces moisture accumulation. Bar area — glasses, bottles and bar accessories are often smaller; 400 mm depth is sufficient for bar shelving. Warehouse — small or irregularly shaped items that are not efficiently stored in greater depths.
