Wire Shelves

Lozier wire shelves solve the airflow, visibility, and drainage problems that solid steel decks create in produce, frozen food, health and beauty, and hardware departments. Wire shelf construction allows air circulation through the shelf surface, reduces dust accumulation, and gives shoppers a clear sightline to product facings below. Widths per product line: Drop-In Wire (DW) covers 24, 30, 36, and 48 inches; Free Post Wire (FPW) units cover 2, 3, and 4 feet. Depths span the standard 13 to 31 inch range for gondola-mounted wire; confirm the specific min depth against the DW/FPW catalog entry for your section.

Depth selection for wire shelves follows the same category logic as solid decks. The 13-inch depth fits health and beauty care and HBC runs. The 16-inch depth covers drug and convenience store gondolas. Grocery and general merchandise sections typically use 19-inch or 22-inch depths, while hardware and automotive departments reach 25 inches and beyond. This catalog also stocks 28-inch and 31-inch depths for heavy-load or bulk-pack applications that exceed the standard general merchandise range. Standard finishes are Platinum (PLT), Charcoal (CHR), and W08 (white), with typical ship times of one to two weeks on stocked SKUs.

The most common ordering error on Lozier wire shelves is finish mismatch against existing Uprite and rail hardware. PLT is a light beige standard, CHR is a dark charcoal standard, and W08 is a painted white finish. BCP (Chrome Plated) is the NSF-certified standard for wire shelving in food-service environments. GRY (Gray) is also a Standard-tier finish. Only ZNC (Zinc) carries the 8 to 10 week Optional Catalog Color lead time in this category. Wire shelves mount using the same Tilt-In (TL) or Drop-In (DL) engagement as standard solid shelves, but the wire surface is not compatible with standard wire shelf label holders, so buyers should confirm label strip specifications before ordering. Confirm that bracket depth matches or exceeds shelf depth in every section to maintain rated load capacity.

Call 800-934-6798 or email dan@gondolafixtures.com to confirm finish availability, verify bracket compatibility, and get lead time on non-PLT, non-CHR, and non-W08 finishes before placing a time-sensitive order.

Configuration Reference

Lozier drop-in and reversible wire shelves are available in 36-inch and 48-inch widths. Standard finishes are Platinum (PLT), Charcoal (CHR), and W08 (white), which typically ship within one to two weeks. Optional Catalog Colors including BCP (Chrome Plated) and ZNC (Zinc) carry an 8 to 10 week production lead time and should be ordered well in advance of a store opening date.

Wire-shelf depths run 15 to 24 inches: Drop-In Wire Shelves at 16, 19, and 22 inches; Reversible Wire Shelves at 15, 18, 21, and 24 inches. Each wire shelf mounts using the standard Lozier one-inch Uprite slot pattern without tools.

Wire shelf construction provides open-surface airflow that solid Standard Deck (SD) shelves cannot match. This makes wire shelves the preferred choice for refrigerated adjacencies, produce overflow displays, and any department where moisture, dust buildup, or product visibility through the shelf surface affects the shopping experience or sanitation compliance.

Label strip compatibility requires verification before ordering. The open wire surface does not accept standard adhesive or snap-in label molding designed for solid steel shelves. Buyers should specify wire-compatible label holders or scan hook label strips rated for wire shelf applications when placing their order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which depth Lozier wire shelf to order for my store?

Match shelf depth to your product category first. Health and beauty care runs use 13-inch depth, drug and convenience gondolas use 16-inch, and grocery and general merchandise sections use 19-inch or 22-inch. Hardware and automotive departments go to 25-inch, and bulk or heavy-load configurations can use 28-inch or 31-inch depths available in this catalog. Always confirm that your Base Bracket (BB) depth meets or exceeds the shelf depth in the same section.

What is the difference between PLT, CHR, and W08 finish on Lozier wire shelves?

Platinum (PLT) is a light beige finish and Charcoal (CHR) is a dark gray. Both are Standard tier finishes that usually ship in 1-3 business days, along with Cool White (W08), White (WHT), Gray (GRY), Silver (SIL), and Galvanized (GLV). Chrome Plated (BCP) is an Optional Catalog Color with an 8-10 week lead time.

Lozier wire shelf compatibility with gondola Uprites

Lozier wire shelves engage the standard one-inch slotted Uprite pattern used across Lozier island and wall gondola sections. They mount using the same Tilt-In (TL) or Drop-In (DL) method as solid shelves. No adapter is required provided the section Uprites are Lozier and the bracket depth in that section matches or exceeds the wire shelf depth being installed.

Lozier wire shelf label strip options for retail gondola runs

Standard adhesive and snap-in label molding designed for solid steel shelves does not seat correctly on an open wire shelf surface. Specify wire-compatible label holders or scan hook label strips rated for wire applications when ordering. Confirm label strip compatibility with your planogram requirements before finalizing the shelf depth and width combination.
