Webbed Shelving Systems As An Option

Written by Robert Walthall | Tue, May, 20, 2014 @ 02:30 PM

Webbed shelving systems, also called wire grid shelving, utilizes webbed "wired" backs to hold retail shelving and fixtures like baskets, hooks, garment hooks, waterfalls, or rectangular hang rod holders for easy customization. Webbed shelving is often used instead of slatwall or pegboard backs on retail shelving displays. It is another way to provide customization for gondola and other types of shelving systems easily. Webbed back shelving for retail is available as a gondola shelving set up, for example, in grocery store shelving. You can also use a web display system with accessories that expand how you can use the display. Mini shelves, zigzag hooks, shoe shelves, and ball holders are some examples of the types of customization you can do.

Advantages of webbed shelving systems

They are:

  • Lightweight

Webbed shelving systems can be lighter weight than the solid backed counterparts.

  • Sturdy

Despite their light weight, they are sturdy because they are made with customized locking systems and high quality steel that is resistant to rust.

  • Portable

Lightweight, webbed shelving systems are already more portable than their solid backed counterparts, and can also be placed on metal casters for easy maneuverability around your store. Although standard gondola shelving and other systems are easy to set up and break down, they are extremely heavy and you'll need some muscle to move them. 

  • Versatile

Webbed retail shelving systems are very versatile because the wire back "interface" lets you hang shelves – and so much more. You can put up lightweight gondola shelving units (with wheels optional) whenever you need the versatility of standard gondola shelving but a lighter weight option. Use baskets, hooks, mini shelves hooks, pegs, hang racks, straight arms, waterfall setups, and garment hooks to customize the display to your exact specifications. You might choose to set up gondola displays, for example, so that shelves with accessories comprise one section of the shelving system while another section displays hanging garments – a truly useful and easy to set up display capability that has endless uses.

  • Reusable

As with most shelving systems used in retail today, webbed shelving systems can be set up, broken down, and reused again and again. Buy them just once but use them endlessly throughout the years.

  • Easy to take care of

Rust resistant plastic coated wire shelves are easy to care for and should simply need a quick wipe down for maintenance.

  • Available in different sizes and colors

As with any retail shelving options, choose from a variety of sizes and colors to fit your exact decor.

Are they suitable versus standard retail shelving?

Webbed shelving is a very good substitute for standard retail shelving in that these heavy duty options have been used for displays as versatile as clothing, jewelry and other small items, but can also be used for heavier options, such as grocery displays.

They can be configured for just about anything – just like standard retail shelving options

Webbed shelving systems aren't just one note wonders. You can configure them for just about any use. Utilize webbed gondola shelving displays rather than using slatwall displays for even greater versatility.

Instead of using heavy-duty gondola shelving, you can choose to use webbed gondola shelving systems for the variety of display options this gives you, without sacrificing sturdiness, for most things.

You don't have to limit your shelving displays to standard pegboard or slatwall options. Instead, choose wire grid (also called "webbed") retail shelving systems for even more versatile display options that let you use baskets, hooks, and other methods of display without sacrificing aesthetics or sales.
