Gondola Shelves and Shelving

How important is gondola shelving to merchandising?
It can be the key to your merchandising success. Proper positioning of your shelving in conjunction with proper lighting helps you better display your best products and showcase your hottest items on sales.

Investing now in new gondola shelves can get your store ready for the Christmas season and give you a winning competitive edge over other stores in your area. The key to doing this right is to work with a space planning expert like your account manager at Easy Rack. A professional who is knowledgeable in retail layouts can show you how to do more with your existing space than you may think currently possible, and how to combine different types of gondola retail shelves to create more effective layouts and displays.

How many different types of gondola shelves are there?
There are many different heights and shelving depths, but really only two category types of gondola shelves. The first is double sided gondola shelving, also known as aisle shelving, which runs vertically through your floor plan and creates aisles for shoppers to walk through.

The other type of used gondola shelving is single-sided wall shelving, which also has a very useful dual function as an end-cap shelf if you want to bring certain items on special into a central position of prominence for people walking in through the main entrance.

Can these shelves be customized?
The individual shelves themselves are units of a fixed horizontal and vertical size and a variable shelf depth. However, the combinations you can create with these individual display shelf units are endless. Easy Rack will help you customize any order to maximize your exact space management requirements. Simple gives us some floor plans or digital photos of your store and we will get started today.

People steal from me a lot. What type of gondola shelves do you have that can help me?
You need units that will allow your managers, employees, and security equipment to see over into the aisle beyond and monitor customer activity. We have found that the best shelving heights are 72” if you do not have cameras and possibly 84” if you have mirrors on the corner ceilings and surveillance cameras in key locations. Anything higher than this creates blind spots that are too tempting for some people to remain honest.

Do you have any gondola shelving that comes in decorative colors?
Yes. We have a wide range of colors which complement the general decorative layouts of the full gamut of retailer types. We have almond, black, caramel, beige, light beige, and gray, just to name a few.

How large are the individual shelves themselves?
They can be as short as 12” and as long as 22”. Generally, most shelves support an average weight capacity of approximately 350 lbs.

Used Display Shelving Racks

What types of used display shelves do you carry?
There are two main categories of display shelving. There is a double-sided shelf, also known as aisle shelving or used gondola shelving, which is arranged in rows with shelves extending outward on either side. The other type of display shelving is one-sided, or wall shelving. This type of display shelf is used to turn empty wall space into merchandising space. It is most valuable to small pawn shops, convenience stores, local hardware stores, small drug stores, and records stores because it makes the most of every square inch and places important merchandise on eye level with browsing shoppers.

What colors can I buy used display shelving in?
You can buy used display shelving in any number of colors, including gray, almond, black, caramel, light beige, and beige. The most popular color is almond, but this is solely a matter of subjective preference.

What sizes are available?
Display shelving ranges in vertical height from 48” to 84”. We recommend that you use purchase used display shelves standing no more 84” high. This gives you plenty of room to stock your products and still leaves you with enough room to look over the tops of the shelving for loss prevention monitoring.

What horizontal widths are available?
We sell all used display shelves built to a standard 48” width. This provides a common measurement around which to build a space management plan.

How much weight can these shelves hold?
An individual shelves can typically hold 350lbs in weight. Multiple shelves can be adjusted to create a “staggering” of depth from top to bottom. This lets more light shine onto lower shelves and prevents shadows from obscuring your products.

What are the most important benefits we can expect?
With the right combination of aisle and wall shelving, you can use display shelves in virtually any open space in your store. Easy Rack will help you customize a merchandising floor plan that will make the most of your empty walls and unused square footage on the ground. Just send your account manager any of pictures or blueprints of your store. We will help you plan out your new display setup and fill in the products based on the best application we can develop for your location.
