Safety Cabinet Shelf WAT3040 Galvanized Steel Sylprotec

Extra Shelf for Safety Cabinets WAT3040 Series

The WAT3040 replacement or extra shelf is the essential accessory for maximizing the storage volume of your flammable safety cabinets. Specifically engineered to fit standard cabinet sizes (typically 30 and 45 gallons), it ensures a secure and compliant organization of your hazardous substances.

Why Choose the WAT3040 Shelf?

Using a certified original shelf is critical for maintaining the safety and structural integrity of your storage setup:

• Patented SpillSlope Design: Its unique angled shape directs spills and leaks toward the back of the cabinet, guiding liquids directly into the leak-proof sump at the bottom. This prevents flammable or corrosive materials from pooling under your containers.

• High-Strength Galvanized Steel: The rugged construction is designed to support heavy industrial loads without sagging, providing a stable and secure base for containers of various sizes.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The high-quality galvanized treatment protects the steel against aggressive chemical vapors and oxidation, ensuring the shelf remains structurally sound over time.

• Precise Fit and Easy Adjustment: It is designed to slide effortlessly into standard shelf supports, allowing for quick height adjustments to optimize interior space based on your specific inventory needs.

• Total Regulatory Compliance: By using original WAT3040 parts, you ensure your cabinet maintains its FM (Factory Mutual) certification and remains in full compliance with NFPA and OSHA standards.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does SpillSlope technology improve safety?

Unlike standard flat shelves, the SpillSlope design is slightly angled. If a container leaks, the liquid is directed toward the back and then down into the cabinet bottom sump. This prevents hazardous chemicals from pooling on the shelf surface and reduces the risk of chemical reactions between adjacent containers.

2. Does this shelf fit other brands of safety cabinets?

The WAT3040 reference is designed for the standard dimensions of 30 and 45-gallon cabinets (approximately 109 cm or 43 inches in exterior width). While optimized for our specific models, it is compatible with most industry-standard cabinets of this size.

3. What is the weight capacity of the WAT3040 shelf?

Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel, this shelf is rated to support a distributed load of up to 350 lbs (159 kg), allowing for the safe storage of multiple heavy containers
