Visible stock
Open wire shelves keep labelled packs and bins visible from several sides, helping staff recognise shortages and misplaced items.
Shelving for hospitals, clinics and medical facilities
Healthcare storage built around controlled workflows.
Organise medical stock, packaged sterile supplies, clean linen and clinical support materials with a modular system selected for the room, the load and the facility's own procedures.

Storage supports the procedure
Control begins with a clear place for every item.
Shelving cannot create sterility or replace infection-control procedures. It can make stock easier to see, separate and rotate while keeping access and cleaning routes predictable.
Defined separation
Create distinct positions for clean supplies, medicines, linen and housekeeping materials according to the facility's zoning rules.
Change without replacement
Move shelf levels in 25 mm increments, add compatible components or rebuild the layout when pack sizes and workflows change.
Applications in practice
One system across medical support areas.
The final configuration should follow the stored product, packaging, access control and environmental conditions — not a generic label such as “medical rack”.
Medical stockrooms
Arrange labelled packs and bins by product group, access frequency and rotation method.
Packaged sterile supplies
Use open shelving only where the facility's controlled storage conditions and package-protection procedure permit it.
Clean linen and ward supply
Keep clean items protected and physically separated from used textiles and waste streams.
Pharmacy and cold storage
Follow each product's labelled conditions; shelving does not replace temperature monitoring, refrigeration or access control.
Packaged sterile supplies
The package protects sterility. The store protects the package.
Open shelving may be used in an appropriately controlled store, but packs must remain dry, intact and protected from excess handling, traffic and contamination.
Receive and inspect
Check packaging for tears, punctures, moisture or other damage before placing supplies into stock.
Store protected
Keep packs away from wet locations and provide the clearances required by the facility, fire rules and local guidance.
Rotate and identify
Use clear labels and the facility's approved FIFO or FEFO method so stock remains traceable and waste is reduced.
Issue with minimal handling
Limit unnecessary contact and remove any pack whose integrity or storage history is in doubt.
The shelving is storage equipment, not a sterilising device. Suitability for a sterile store must be assessed within the facility's complete infection-control, fire-safety and environmental requirements.
Medicine storage
A rack organises stock. The facility controls the conditions.
Medicinal products may require defined temperature, humidity, light, security and traceability. These requirements come from product information and the facility's pharmaceutical procedures.
Labelled conditions
Select the room and system around the conditions stated for the stored medicines; “room temperature” is not a substitute for a defined range.
Monitoring and alarms
Temperature-controlled areas require appropriate monitoring, mapped sensor locations and actions for excursions.
Access and segregation
Separate quarantined, returned, expired or restricted stock and apply the access controls required for each category.
Important: Ultra Power shelving does not provide cooling, environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical traceability or controlled access on its own.
Choose by environment
Specify the finish for the actual room.
Dry support rooms and persistently humid or cold areas create different demands. The finish is selected from real exposure conditions and the facility's cleaning procedure.
For dry stockrooms and clean support rooms
Chrome provides an open, neutral system for dry interiors without persistent humidity or condensation. Cleaning compatibility must follow the product care instructions.
Explore Chrome shelving →For cold stores and demanding moisture exposure
noMICRO combines a protective zinc layer with a green polyester coating containing silver-ion technology. It is intended for cold, humid and hygiene-sensitive storage areas.
Explore noMICRO shelving →The silver-ion coating supports hygienic storage conditions by helping inhibit bacterial growth on the coated surface. It complements regular cleaning and disinfection but does not replace them.
Stationary or mobile
Move supplies only in a configuration designed to move.
Compatible castors and handles can turn selected racks into internal transport units for linen or packaged supplies. Mobile capacity depends on the castors and complete configuration, not on the 950 kg stationary-rack value.
- Use braked castors and park the unit before loading or unloading.
- Keep heavier supplies low and distribute the load evenly.
- Confirm door, lift, corridor and turning clearances along the full route.
- Use suitable bins, rails or load restraint where the contents require them.
Mobile capacity follows the castors and complete configuration.Plan before specifying
Start with stock, procedure and environment.
A useful healthcare storage plan combines product dimensions with controlled workflows. These questions should be resolved before rack sizes are selected.
What is stored?
Record package sizes, weights, quantities, handling bins and any special storage statement.
Who may access it?
Define staff access, issue frequency, replenishment direction and stock-status separation.
What is the environment?
Check temperature, humidity, condensation, cleaning agents and monitoring requirements.
How does it move?
Map clean and used flows, trolleys, thresholds, doors and the space needed to clean around the installation.
Healthcare shelving FAQ
Before the storage plan is approved.
Does noMICRO shelving sterilise stored products?
No. The coating contains silver-ion technology that supports inhibition of bacterial growth on the coated surface. It does not sterilise products or replace cleaning, disinfection and infection-control procedures.
Can packaged sterile supplies be kept on open shelves?
They may be stored on open shelving where the facility's controlled-store procedure allows it. Packages must remain dry, intact and protected from contamination and unnecessary handling.
Can the shelving be used for medicines?
The system can organise packaged medicines, but the facility must provide the temperature, humidity, light, security, monitoring and traceability required by the product and applicable procedures.
Which finish should be used?
Chrome is intended for dry interiors. Choose noMICRO for cold rooms, condensation or persistent humidity, subject to the facility's cleaning and compatibility assessment.
What load can the system carry?
Each shelf can carry up to 270 kg when evenly loaded. A complete stationary rack can carry up to 950 kg depending on its configuration. Mobile capacity is assessed separately.
Can shelf heights be changed later?
Yes. Shelf levels can be repositioned in 25 mm increments without bolts. The rack must be unloaded and adjusted according to the assembly instructions before returning to service.
