Wire Shelving
Metro Wire Shelving: Heavy-Duty Wire Racks and Storage Systems
When you think of wire shelving, you think of Metro. For more than 65 years, Metro has set the standard for industrial wire shelving and commercial rack systems trusted in demanding environments worldwide.
Since introducing the first Erecta® wire shelf in 1956, and later the Super Erecta® wire shelving system in 1969, Metro has led the industry in innovation, durability, and modular design. Today, our heavy-duty wire racks are the go-to industrial shelving systems for commercial kitchens, laboratories, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and beyond.
Whether you're configuring a single shelving unit or designing a complete industrial storage solution, Metro wire shelving delivers the strength, flexibility, and long-term performance professionals rely on.
Benefits of Metro Industrial Wire Rack Shelving
Metro professional-grade wire shelving systems are designed for commercial and industrial environments where storage systems must support heavy loads, maintain airflow and visibility, and withstand frequent use. These systems are commonly used to store inventory, equipment, and supplies in facilities where sanitation, access, and durability are operational requirements.
With a broad range of sizes, configurations, and finishes, Metro industrial shelving can be configured to meet the specific demands of individual spaces, workflows, and industries.
Engineered for Strength & Durability
Metro shelving systems are built to perform in demanding environments across foodservice, healthcare, laboratories, and industrial facilities. Our heavy-duty wire racks use a post-and-collar design that provides 360-degree shelf support, helping distribute weight evenly and reduce long-term shelf fatigue.
Shelves can support up to 800 lbs evenly distributed and are backed by Metro’s Never Collapse Money-Back Guarantee.
Customizable & Modular Design
Metro shelving systems are designed for modularity and can be reconfigured as storage needs change. Shelves can be repositioned, expanded with add-on units, or mounted on casters without tools, allowing facilities to adapt layouts without replacing existing equipment.
Systems can be built as stationary shelving units, mobile carts, or high-density track shelving to support space optimization, inventory growth, or workflow changes.
