Metro

Metro is the long-established commercial shelving brand specified across cool rooms, dry stores, prep kitchens and back-of-house storage in restaurants, hotels and food production sites — covering the Super Erecta Pro and Super Erekta NK3 wire shelving systems. Both systems use the brand’s signature corner-lock posts for tool-free assembly and re-spacing, with shelf finishes chosen to suit refrigerated, ambient and high-humidity storage environments — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.

Metro built its reputation on the Super Erecta system — the corner-lock wire shelving design that became the de-facto standard in commercial kitchens, cool rooms and dry stores across the foodservice industry. The current Australian line covers two configurations: the Metro Super Erecta Pro as the upgraded Pro-series shelf with enhanced corrosion resistance for refrigerated and high-humidity environments, and the Super Erekta NK3 for general-purpose ambient and dry storage in back-of-house and prep areas.

Build is engineered for kitchen and storage reliability over decades, not seasons. Posts and shelves use the corner-lock taper system that makes assembly tool-free and re-spacing equally fast — shelves drop onto post collars at any height along the post, lock under load and release cleanly when re-spaced. The Super Erecta Pro shelf adds an upgraded finish for cool-room and refrigerated-storage environments where standard zinc would corrode over time. The NK3 covers ambient and dry-store applications where the cost profile of a standard finish is the better fit.

For operators, the practical advantage of the Metro system is reconfigurability. A cool room set up for stock pans today can be re-shelved for produce trays next week without specialist tools or replacement parts — shelves come off the posts, drop back on at new spacings, and the room is back in service in minutes. Load ratings across the range are sized for commercial inventory weights (full cool-room stock pans, pallet-loaded ambient stores), and the wire-shelf design lets air circulate around stored product — critical in cool rooms where stagnant air against solid shelves causes localised warming and uneven temperatures across the room.

Commercial Kitchen Company stocks the Metro Super Erecta Pro and Super Erekta NK3 ranges with nationwide delivery and ready access to spare parts and add-on shelves to expand or reconfigure existing installations. Whether you're fitting out a new cool room, extending an existing dry store, or replacing legacy shelving in a back-of-house production area, our team can specify the right Metro shelf finish, post height and bay sizing for your storage volume and environment — available now through Commercial Kitchen Company.
