METROMAX i™ POLYMER SHELVING

with *Microban Antimicrobial Product Protection

Part of the innovative MetroMax iQ™ Storage System, MetroMax i™
is a lifetime storage solution. The product is corrosion proof, easy to
clean, strong like wire shelving, and provides a very efficient use of
storage space. MetroMax i™ is integrated with online space planning
tools and tutorials. www.metro.com/iQ

• Lifelong performance and corrosion proof: All-polymer and
Type 304 stainless design offers a lifetime warranty against rust
and corrosion.

• Strong and Durable: Strong as steel, MetroMax i™ shelves hold as
much weight as Metro’s wire shelving and are impact resistant.
Weight capacity for evenly distributed loads:
800 lbs. (363kg) per shelf for lengths of 24" to 48" (610 to 1220mm)
600 lbs. (275kg) per shelf for lengths of 54” (1370mm) or longer
2,000 lbs. (907kg) maximum per stationary unit.

• Easiest to clean and maintain: Smooth surfaces easily wipe
clean. Polymer mats can be easily removed and cleaned in a sink
or dish machine. Microban antimicrobial product protection is built
into the high contact areas of the shelf including the mats, frames,
and posts to protect the product from bacteria, mold, mildew,
and fungus that cause odors and product degradation. Microban
protection keeps the product “cleaner between cleanings”.

• Smooth, Protective Surfaces: Smooth, flat surfaces protect
packaged shelf contents from unwanted rips, tears, or damage.

• Robust Open Grid and Solid Mat Options: Open grid shelves
promote air circulation and light penetration. One-piece solid mats
contain spills and are ideal to protect items on the bottom shelf from
dirt or backsplashes from cleaning floors. Shelf mats are sturdy
and safely support concentrated loads from instrumentation and
equipment.

• Interchangeable: Part of the MetroMax iQ™ Storage System,
corrosion proof MetroMax i™ shelves and posts are compatible with
corrosion resistant MetroMax Q™ shelves and posts.

• Efficient, Organized Storage: Premium MetroMax iQ™ accessories
efficiently organize, contain, and compartmentalize all space
between shelves.

• Fast, Easy Assembly: MetroMax i™ assembles easily in minutes,
without tools. Shelves can be adjusted at 1" (25mm) increments
along the post. Shelf wedges have a window to locate your
desired position.
