Shelving Australia
THE ONLY HACCP APPROVED SHELVING IN AUSTRALIA
M-Span, Real TUFF And Wire Shelving
Mantova has a wide selection of easy to clean Food Safe shelving suitable for cool rooms, kitchens, freezers and dry storage. The complete range of shelving options are covered with M-Span, Real Tuff and Wire Shelving in Australia.
M-span Shelving
M-span shelvings are not only durable, adjustable and easy to assemble, they have LIFE antimicrobial protection built in to ensure the safety and sanitation of items placed on it. What’s more, they are manufactured in a very energy efficient manner and are completely recyclable, significantly reducing their cost and carbon footprint. This is the smart option for those who want reliable coolroom shelving that offers great savings and manufacturing benefits for the environment.
Real Tuff Shelving
Real Tuff removable shelves make it extremely easy to clean your shelves. In just a snap, you can remove shelves one at a time without having to dismantle the entire bay of shelves. Has one of your stored items spilled over? There is no need to take the entire shelf down. With Real Tuff shelvings, all you need to do is take out the individual soiled shelves. This will save you time and the convenience it offers is unbeatable. Our Real Tuff shelves also have Life antimicrobial protection built in.
Wire Shelving
Our wire shelving options are made with solid roll formed sides and frames which make them easier to clean than most other brands and give these shelves a nice, clean look. Our wire shelving is built strong to last and is available in Stainless Steel and Zinc Plated.
Commercial Shelving In Australia
Every shelf in our range is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials — stainless steel, galvanised metal, and food-grade polypropylene — chosen because commercial kitchens involve constant moisture, frequent washdowns, and heavy daily loads. These aren’t materials chosen for appearance. They’re chosen because they last.
Shelving That Meets Food Safety Standards, Not Just Storage Needs
All Mantova commercial kitchen shelving is HACCP Australia Approved. That means whether you’re storing dry goods, raw ingredients, cookware, or bulk equipment, your shelving is already working in line with Australian food safety management requirements — not against them.
Our M-Span and Real Tuff ranges go a step further with LIFE Antimicrobial Protection built directly into the material. This continuously inhibits bacterial and mould growth on shelf surfaces — a feature that matters in any environment where food safety is non-negotiable.
Designed Around How Kitchens Actually Work
Mantova shelving is fully height-adjustable and assembles without tools, so you can configure your storage around your kitchen — not the other way around. Need lower shelves for heavy pots near the cooking line? A taller bay for dry goods in a narrow storeroom? Done without calling a technician or dismantling the entire unit.
Our Real Tuff shelves are individually removable, meaning a spill on one shelf doesn’t require taking down an entire bay to clean. Pull the shelf, wash it — or put it straight in the dishwasher — and slot it back in. For busy service kitchens, that’s not a small thing.
For tighter spaces, Wire Wall Shelving keeps walls productive without eating into floor space. For bulk storage areas, our Heavy Duty Ladder Shelving and Post Style systems handle serious weight loads while keeping airflow and visibility clear throughout.
Built for Every Commercial Kitchen Format
From single-site cafés and restaurant prep kitchens to hospital catering facilities, aged care kitchens, and large-scale food production environments — Mantova has supplied and supported commercial kitchen shelving across every format for over 55 years. Our Southern Sydney manufacturing facility produces shelving using Australian recycled materials, backed by local support and stock availability.
HACCP Approved Shelving Systems In Australia

All our shelving options are height adjustable, quick and easy to assemble with no tools required and HACCP Australia Approved. Mantova’s Diverse M-Span, Real Tuff and Wire Shelving Options Come with Easy Maintenance Features.
With their flat, open surfaces and holes, our shelves can effectively enable airflow and help preserve the freshness of food items stored. They are also incredibly easy to maintain. Simply wipe them up or in the case of our removable Real Tuff shelves, toss them in the dishwasher and they’ll be spick and span.

Commercial Shelving FAQs
In Australian commercial kitchens, the best shelving options are those that are durable, easy to clean, resistant to corrosion, and comply with HACCP food safety standards. Popular choices include polymer shelving like Real Tuff, and stainless steel shelving. These materials are ideal for cold rooms, dry storage, and wet areas. Mantova’s shelving systems are engineered specifically for high-demand hospitality environments and are well-suited for Australian kitchens where hygiene and performance are paramount.
Yes, for any business in the food service or hospitality industry, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) approval is essential. It ensures your shelving system meets strict food safety regulations and minimises the risk of contamination. In Australia, many councils and food regulators require food-grade shelving to be HACCP compliant. Choosing Mantova’s HACCP-certified shelving gives your business peace of mind and helps you remain compliant with Australian food safety laws.
Wire shelving is lightweight and ventilated, making it ideal for cold rooms and pantries as it promotes air circulation. Solid shelving, on the other hand, is better for storing smaller or loose items that might fall through wire racks. Solid shelving also tends to be easier to clean. Many commercial kitchens in Australia use a combination of both to suit different storage needs. Mantova offers both types to ensure maximum flexibility and efficiency in workspace design.
Absolutely. Mantova manufactures shelving specifically designed for cold storage environments, including cool rooms and freezers. Look for shelving with antimicrobial protection, rust-resistant coatings, or polymer finishes. These features help prevent deterioration in humid or sub-zero conditions. Mantova’s Real Tuff Shelving is a great example of a rust-proof, HACCP-approved option suitable for temperature-controlled areas.
Weight capacity depends on the type and material of shelving. For example, Mantova’s Real Tuff polymer shelving can hold up to 250kg per shelf, depending on size and configuration. Aluminium and stainless steel models may vary. Always check load ratings for individual shelf types. For heavy-duty storage, Mantova’s systems are engineered to handle industrial-level loads while maintaining safety and stability.
Adjustable shelving is highly recommended, especially in commercial or industrial settings. It allows you to tailor the height and spacing based on the size of goods you’re storing. This flexibility helps you maximise vertical space and stay organised. Fixed shelving may work well in retail or residential settings, but in fast-paced commercial kitchens or warehouses, adjustability is key. Mantova’s shelving systems are fully customisable and easily adjustable to meet evolving needs.
For most commercial shelving, regular cleaning involves:
- Wiping down with a mild detergent and warm water
- Avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the coating
- Removing shelves (if applicable) and cleaning them separately
- Ensuring the shelving is completely dry before use to prevent mould or rust
Mantova’s shelving is designed with easy maintenance in mind, with removable polymer shelves and rust-resistant materials that make cleaning simple and quick.
Yes, but it’s important to select weather-resistant materials. For outdoor or constantly wet areas, choose shelving made from stainless steel or coated aluminium that won’t corrode over time. Shelving in environments like butcher shops, seafood markets, or outdoor food prep areas in Australia must be able to withstand constant moisture. Mantova offers options like wire or Real Tuff shelving that are perfect for these applications.
Small businesses or cafés benefit from compact, modular shelving that maximises available space. Consider wall-mounted shelving, mobile shelving units, or corner units to optimise tight areas. Polymer or wire shelving works well for back-of-house storage, while stylish stainless steel options are ideal for visible spaces. Mantova’s shelving can be tailored to fit even the smallest kitchens or storerooms without compromising quality or compliance.
