The first bay in each run.
A starter includes two upright-and-base assemblies, one at each end of the first bay. It forms a complete independent unit when supplied and installed with its specified components.

Choose your size.
Plan your run.
A double-sided gondola places two merchandising faces around a central structure. Use it to create aisles in supermarkets, grocery stores and convenience stores.
Select the nominal height, bay width and shelf depths for your merchandise. The standard reference configuration has 3 upper shelves and 1 base shelf on each side.
Read the shelving buying guideRead dimensions consistently.
Bay widths are measured between upright centres. Shelf depths are stated per side. The 880 mm overall depth applies to the reference build with 400 mm base shelves per side.

PLAN THE RUN, THEN THE PARTS
Start once. Extend in bays.
Starter and add-on bays look similar when assembled. The difference is the support structure included in each unit.
Starter
Add-on
Add-on
Share a support. Add a bay.
An add-on shares a complete upright-and-base assembly with its neighbour and adds one new assembly. The remaining per-bay configuration stays the same. It must connect to the matching run and cannot stand alone.
Two separate rows?
For two rows of three bays each, plan 2 starters + 4 add-ons = 6 bays. Specify shelf levels on both faces separately; end caps are additional items.
Examples explain the shared-upright concept. Final part quantities, connections and installation requirements depend on the selected series and approved layout.
HOW THE SYSTEM IS BUILT
One system. Matching components.
Uprights and bases support the run, panels form its centre, and shelves and brackets create the display levels on each face.
Uprights & bases
Uprights carry the shelving levels. Bases support the two display faces and establish the footprint of the run.
Confirm height, levelling and installation requirements.
Back panels
Panels form the centre of the display. Panel style and mounting details determine which merchandising accessories can be used.
Match the panel and its connections to the chosen series.
Shelves & brackets
Upper shelves sit on matching brackets at the selected levels. Base shelves provide the lowest display surface on each side.
List shelf depth, levels and required loading for both faces.
Merchandising details
Price strips, dividers, guards and signage complete the display. Hooks and baskets need a suitable mounting interface.
Separate included components from optional accessories.
REFERENCE BUILD
Materials, component by component.
These material details apply to the solid-back reference build: 900 mm nominal bay width, 400 mm base shelves per side and 1500 mm nominal height, with three 350 mm upper shelves on each face.
Thicknesses refer to the named components. Material details for other sizes and perforated panels are confirmed separately.
| Component | Material / thickness |
|---|---|
| Solid steel back panels & base front panels | Q235A cold-rolled steel, 0.6 mm thick. |
| 350 mm three-hook brackets | Q235A cold-rolled steel, 2.3 mm thick. |
| Price strips | PVC. |
| Other structural components | Upright, base, shelf and reinforcement material details and thicknesses to be confirmed for the selected build. |
Keep the quotation complete. Confirm which shelves, brackets, back panels, bases and accessories are included. A bay count is the starting point for a component list.
BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Common buying questions.
From the first bay to a complete store, start with a shared understanding of the configuration.
What is double-sided gondola shelving?
It is a retail shelving run with merchandise displayed on both sides of a central structure. It is commonly used to form the middle aisles of grocery, convenience and other retail stores. Wall shelving provides a single display face for perimeter areas.
Can an add-on bay stand on its own?
An add-on bay is intended to connect to a matching starter or existing run and share an upright assembly. It is not a complete independent unit. Begin each separate run with a starter and confirm its full component list and installation requirements.
Are upper shelves and accessories included?
The standard reference configuration has 3 upper shelves and 1 base shelf per side, with matching brackets and PVC price strips. Upper shelf quantity can be customised. The quotation lists the complete included components and any optional accessories.
What dimensions and load capacity can I order?
Nominal heights are 1500, 1800, 2000 and 2100 mm; nominal bay widths are 600, 700, 900, 1000 and 1200 mm. Base shelf depths are 350, 400 and 450 mm per side. The reference build with 400 mm base shelves per side is 880 mm deep overall. Shelf load capacity is 60–120 kg per shelf, depending on configuration.
Can I combine this with an existing shelving system?
Share the existing brand or series, photographs and connection dimensions. Upright slots, brackets, panels and bases must be checked together; a similar appearance does not establish compatibility.
What do you need for a quotation or store layout?
For a quotation, send the run lengths, bay quantities, shelf arrangement, destination and target date. For an initial store layout, also provide a dimensioned floor plan, entrances, columns and fixed equipment, plus your main merchandise categories.
