The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — two shelf levels on the wall offer an optimal balance between storage capacity and ergonomic accessibility; the LSX2 system is one of the most popular wall shelf solutions in professional kitchens.
LSX2 system construction
The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — the Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 construction combines two stainless steel shelves in one system. Two stainless steel shelves — an upper and a lower shelf; shared wall mounting system; distance between shelves approximately 300–400 mm. Wall mounting — stainless steel brackets secure both shelves simultaneously; the system is rigid and load-resistant; see the Single-Level Wall Shelf System LSX1. Depth options — three depth options available: 300, 400 and 500 mm; both shelf levels usually have the same depth; standard for kitchens — 400 mm. Length options — shelf length depends on the specific model; various standard lengths available; custom lengths possible upon request.
LSX2 ergonomics and shelf height selection
The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — ergonomic height selection is important to ensure both shelves are conveniently usable. Lower shelf — the lowest shelf must not be too low; minimum 1200 mm above the floor for easy accessibility; ideally 1300–1400 mm (above worktop height level). Upper shelf — not higher than staff can easily reach without stepping up; ideally 1600–1800 mm above the floor; heavy items should not be placed on the upper shelf; see the Three-Level Shelf System LSX3. Inter-shelf distance — the distance between shelves should be adjusted to the height of stored items; standard 300–400 mm allows storage of most kitchen utensils.
Where the LSX2 is the optimal choice
The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — the LSX2 system is best suited for specific kitchen scenarios. Standard work zone — above a work counter with moderate storage needs; two levels provide more space than the LSX1, but do not overload the wall like the LSX3. Bar wall — in the bar work area, two shelf levels store glasses and bottle accessories; below — frequently used inventory; above — less frequently used items; see the Wall Shelves for Equipment with Two Shelves LSI2. Pastry shop — for storing baking accessories, molds, and decoration materials; two shelves ensure a well-structured inventory system. Small restaurant kitchen — sufficient capacity for a small kitchen with 3–6 employees.
Cleaning and maintenance
The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — regular cleaning of wall shelves is mandatory in the HoReCa environment. Daily cleaning — damp cloth with a mild disinfectant; the stainless steel surface is smooth and easy to clean; both the upper and lower shelves are accessible for cleaning; see the Single-Level Wall Shelf System LSX1. Deep cleaning — during periodic sanitation checks, remove all items from the shelves; also clean bracket areas and wall-shelf contact points. Steel care — disinfectants containing chlorine can dull the shine of stainless steel; it is better to use neutral or stainless steel-specific cleaning agents.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can be stored on a Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 shelf? The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — load capacity depends on the number of brackets and installation quality; usually 30–50 kg per linear metre for each shelf; manufacturer’s load guidelines must always be followed; overloading must be avoided as it may compromise safety; see the Three-Level Shelf System LSX3.
Can a Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 be later expanded to a Three-Level Shelf System LSX3? The Two-Level Shelf System LSX2 — this depends on the specific system design; many modular systems allow the addition of extra shelves; contact BHS to check expansion options; see Wall Shelves for Equipment with Two Shelves LSI2.
