1. Are these shelves interchangeable with other cupboard ranges?
These shelves are specifically designed to fit the internal structure and dimensions of our Flammable Liquid and Pesticide/Agrochemical Storage Cupboards. While dimensions may match, we guarantee fit and compliance only when used with the corresponding cabinet.
2. Why is galvanised steel recommended for storing flammable liquids?
Galvanisation provides a protective layer that is essential when storing volatile liquids. It offers superior resistance to chemical attack and rust compared to standard paint finishes, ensuring the shelf remains structurally sound and continues to provide effective spill containment over time.
3. How many extra shelves can I install in one cupboard?
The number of extra shelves you can install depends on the height of your chosen cupboard and the height of the containers you wish to store. You can generally install as many shelves as the internal spacing allows while still maintaining adequate clearance for containers and the 50KG UDL per shelf.
4. Does adding extra shelves affect the fire resistance of the cabinet?
No. The core fire integrity (EN 13501-1 classification) is maintained by the fully welded steel structure of the cabinet itself. The shelves are internal components designed for organization and spill management, and do not compromise the fire safety rating.
5. an these shelves be easily removed for cleaning after a spill?
Yes. The shelves are designed with a tool-free installation system (they hook onto the internal supports), allowing for quick and easy removal. This is essential for proper maintenance and cleanup, as a shelf affected by a spill can be rapidly taken out, cleaned, and sterilised without disrupting the entire cabinet structure.
