These units feature our patented thermal-break technology that prevents cold transfer and condensation, protecting both products and the shelving structure. The StoreGuard series offers a lighter alternative without compromising durability, utilizing aluminum-zinc alloy construction that provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining mobility. Both series are fully compliant with UK food safety standards and feature CAEM's signature modular design for future expansion and reconfiguration.
Advanced Materials Engineering for Cold Environments
CAEM's material selection process reflects decades of refrigerated storage expertise. Our premium stainless steel components undergo specialized treatments that enhance corrosion resistance beyond standard 304-grade steel, critical for extended life in high-humidity environments. For applications requiring maximum hygiene, CAEM offers antimicrobial polymer shelf inserts that meet HACCP guidelines while providing better temperature stability than all-metal alternatives. Our proprietary zinc-aluminum coating process delivers 2.5 times the corrosion protection of conventional galvanized treatments, ensuring longevity even in extreme conditions. Each material is selected and engineered specifically for cold storage performance, distinguishing CAEM products from general-purpose shelving adapted for refrigerated use.
Specialized Features for Refrigerated Applications
CAEM rolling racks incorporate purpose-built features addressing the unique challenges of refrigerated environments. Our Climate-Lock wheels utilize sealed bearings with food-grade lubricants that maintain smooth operation at temperatures as low as -30°C, preventing the freezing issues common in standard casters. The QuickShift collapsible mechanism employs stainless steel components that resist moisture-related binding, ensuring reliable operation throughout the product's lifespan. CAEM's patented AirFlow shelf design optimizes cold air circulation around stored products, maintaining consistent temperatures without creating cooling dead zones. Additionally, the ModuLink connection system allows for tool-free assembly and reconfiguration, minimizing downtime during installation or layout changes—a critical advantage when working in temperature-controlled environments.
Selecting the Right CAEM Rolling Rack Solution
Space Optimization and Capacity Planning
When implementing CAEM rolling racks in refrigerated environments, proper planning maximizes both space and operational efficiency. Our consultative approach begins with comprehensive spatial analysis, examining traffic patterns and product flow to determine optimal configuration. For facilities storing diverse products, CAEM's mixed-module designs accommodate different product heights and weights within the same system. Our engineering team calculates precise capacity requirements based on product dimensions and turnover rates, ensuring the selected solution provides sufficient capacity without wasted space. This systematic approach has helped clients achieve storage density improvements of up to 120% compared to conventional fixed shelving, translating directly to reduced refrigeration costs per stored unit.
Essential Features for Refrigerated Storage Success
CAEM's refrigerated rolling racks incorporate critical features that ensure peak performance in challenging environments. Our ThermaGrip wheels feature specialized rubber compounds that maintain traction on wet or icy floors—a common hazard in refrigerated settings. The SealTech protective barriers prevent moisture ingress to moving components, extending operational life in high-humidity environments. For maximum versatility, look for CAEM's QuickHeight adjustment system that allows shelf positioning at 25mm increments without tools, accommodating seasonal product changes. The VisibilityMax design incorporates strategic open architecture that maintains excellent product visibility while supporting ventilation, essential for consistent cooling throughout the storage area.
Investment Considerations: Value Beyond Initial Cost
Selecting CAEM rolling racks represents an investment in operational efficiency and long-term reliability. While premium materials and engineering increase initial costs compared to general-purpose alternatives, the extended service life—typically 15+ years in refrigerated environments—delivers superior lifetime value. CAEM's modular design allows incremental expansion as needs grow, protecting your initial investment while accommodating business development. When evaluating budget allocations, consider that clients typically report payback periods of 18-24 months based on space optimization alone, with additional savings from improved inventory management and reduced product loss. Our comprehensive warranty coverage, including 10-year structural guarantees, provides assurance that your investment will deliver consistent performance throughout its operational life.
Maintenance and Care for CAEM Rolling Racks
Preventative Maintenance for Extended Service Life
CAEM's engineering team recommends specific maintenance protocols to maximize the longevity of refrigerated mobile shelving. Quarterly inspection of wheel assemblies ensures smooth operation, with particular attention to bearing seals that prevent moisture infiltration. For maximum corrosion resistance, check all welded joints annually for early signs of oxidation, which can be addressed with CAEM's touch-up protective coatings before structural integrity is compromised. The high-grade sealed bearings in our caster assemblies require minimal maintenance but benefit from annual lubrication with our specialized low-temperature grease. Following these guidelines, many CAEM installations continue performing flawlessly after more than 15 years in demanding refrigerated environments.
Hygiene Compliance and Sanitation Procedures
CAEM rolling racks are designed to meet the strict hygiene requirements of food storage environments while simplifying cleaning procedures. All surfaces utilize smooth, crevice-free designs that eliminate bacterial harborage points, complying with HACCP guidelines for food contact surfaces. For routine cleaning, CAEM recommends food-safe quaternary ammonium compounds that provide effective sanitation without corroding specialized metals. The removable polymer shelf inserts can be completely sanitized in industrial washers when deeper cleaning is required. Our technical documentation includes detailed cleaning schedules that ensure compliance with UK food safety regulations while preserving the structural integrity of specialized components.
Storage Optimization When Not in Active Use
For seasonal operations or changing storage needs, proper storage of CAEM rolling racks preserves their condition and extends usable life. The SlimStore collapsible feature reduces footprint by up to 75% when units are not in use, maximizing available space without removing equipment from the facility. For long-term storage, CAEM provides specialized protective covers that prevent dust accumulation while allowing air circulation—critical for preventing moisture-related issues in refrigerated environments.
