Optimise your cold rooms, freezers and dry stores with Australia’s most trusted commercial-grade shelving.

Efficient storage is the backbone of every high-performing food service business. Whether you are running a café, restaurant, bar, butcher, bakery, hospitality venue or multi-site food production facility, the ability to store ingredients safely, hygienically and efficiently makes a direct impact on your operations.

For more than 50 years, Mantova has been Australia’s leading manufacturer of commercial-grade shelving designed specifically for the food service, hospitality and cold-storage industries. At Commercial Shelving Innovations, we specialise in supplying Mantova's Real Tuff and wire shelving systems because they consistently outperform generic shelving in every meaningful category: hygiene, durability, strength, compliance and long-term value.

Below, we break down why Mantova shelving is the most reliable choice for cold rooms, freezers and dry-store areas across the Australian hospitality landscape.

Built for Food Safety: Hygienic, Easy to Clean and HACCP-Approved

In the food service industry, hygiene is non-negotiable. Mantova shelving is designed to support strict food-safety requirements; particularly HACCP compliance.

Key hygiene benefits include:

• Rust-free materials: Mantova’s Real Tuff shelves use non-porous food-grade polymer inserts that do not corrode, chip or degrade.
• Anti-microbial surfaces: Designed to resist the growth of mould and bacteria; critical for cold and freezer environments.
• Smooth, wipe-clean surfaces: No exposed welds or rough edges; cleaning takes seconds, not minutes.
• Removable shelf inserts: Simply lift out, wash in warm soapy water or run through a dishwasher.

For businesses dealing with raw protein, dairy, seafood and high-risk ingredients, every one of these factors helps reduce contamination risks and supports compliance with Australian food safety legislation.

Australian-Made Durability That Stands Up to Freezers, Cold Rooms and Heavy Commercial Use

Not all shelving can survive the extreme temperature fluctuations, damp conditions and high load weights common in commercial kitchens. Mantova shelving is engineered specifically for these environments.

Durability features:

• Tested for freezers down to -40°C
• High load capacities suitable for bulk stock and crates
• Corrosion-resistant frames in aluminium or stainless steel
• Polymer shelf surfaces that don’t crack or warp from condensation or frost
  

Mantova shelving is manufactured in Sydney using high-quality Australian materials, ensuring consistency, structural integrity and long service life; even in the harshest food-service conditions.

Maximum Efficiency in Cold, Freezer and Dry Storage

One of the biggest challenges in hospitality is limited space. Mantova shelving helps businesses reclaim vertical and horizontal space, reduce clutter and create flow in their storage rooms.

How Mantova helps you maximise your space:

• Modular, adjustable shelf heights for crates, gastronorm trays, produce boxes and cartons.
• Ventilated deck designs that promote airflow in cold rooms, reducing frost and moisture build-up.
• Heavy-duty corner posts that allow seamless expansion or reconfiguration over time.
• Mobile shelving options for flexible prep areas or deep-cleaning access.
  For small businesses with limited back-of-house areas, these features make an immediate impact on workflow.

Simplify Operations and Improve Staff Efficiency

In a busy commercial kitchen, every second counts. Mantova shelving improves speed, organisation and staff safety.

Operational advantages:

• Faster stock rotation thanks to clear visibility and organised layout
• Reduced clutter and safer movement in tight kitchen environments
• Easier cleaning routines that reduce labour time
• Better FIFO (First-In, First-Out) stock management to minimise waste

Whether it is a restaurant preparing for dinner service or a butcher organising high-volume cold storage, Mantova shelving keeps operations running smoothly.

Purpose-Built for Every Food Service Environment

Mantova’s design is informed by decades of Australian hospitality experience, making their shelving the go-to solution for:

Cold Rooms

• Ventilated shelves reduce condensation
• Rust-proof surfaces resist corrosion
• Adjustable heights allow large stock to fit easily
  

Freezers

• Polymer shelving remains stable in freezing conditions
• Frost-proof construction
• No warping, cracking or moisture absorption
  

Dry Stores

• Strong load-bearing capacity for bulk packaging
• Pest-resistant designs
• Anti-corrosion materials for long-term reliability
• Specialised Food and Laboratory Storage

From food-production facilities to scientific labs and pharmaceutical environments, Mantova offers shelving that meets the strictest sanitation and stability requirements.

Why Mantova Outperforms Generic Steel Shelving

Most standard galvanised or epoxy-coated shelving systems used in food service environments are not designed for cold or wet conditions. These cheaper options often rust, swell, chip or become unhygienic; leading to costly replacements.

Mantova’s advantages over generic shelving:

• No rust
• No peeling coatings
• High load strength
• Easier, faster cleaning
• Longer lifespan
• Compliant with food safety standards
• Safer for staff and safer for stored food

When you factor in replacement cycles, labour efficiency and compliance, Mantova delivers much greater long-term value.
