Metro’s new line of laboratory solutions address a wide range
of laboratory requirements while providing a superior level
of corrosion resistance. Built from advanced polymers that
include *Microban® antimicrobial product protection, Metro’s
innovative MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge designs provide
the ideal product platform. Available product solutions are
modular by design and offer the customer ultimate flexibility
by permitting the end user to select the most appropriate
caster based on their budget and/or application requirements.
Metro’s Polymer Laboratory Solutions include:
• Lab Worktables and Accessories
• Antimicrobial Casters
• Glassware Handling Solutions
• High Performance Liquid Chromatography Solutions
• General Lab Cart
• Chemical Transport Cart
• Mobile Desk
• Deep Ledge Lab Carts
• Deep Ledge Lab Dolly
Both MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge shelves have built-in
Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Microban protects
the posts and shelves from bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi
that cause odors, stains and product degradation.
• Corrosion Resistant: MetroMax i™ shelves and posts are
designed to withstand rust and corrosion over the life of the
product, so they are perfectly suited for damp and humid
conditions. MetroMax i™ shelves and posts come with a
lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion.
• Cleans Easily: Solid MetroMax i™ and Deep Ledge shelves
contain spills and wipe down easily. Shelf frame and posts
are smooth and rounded with no sharp edges so they wipe
down easily.
• Strong and Durable: Reinforced polymers give MetroMax i™
incredible strength — up to 800 lbs. (364kg) per shelf. Deep
Ledge shelf load rating depends on application.
