Put your shelving on wheels. The Wheelie Base Shelf is a full 900mm-wide pine shelf with 4 lockable trolley wheels fitted underneath. It goes at the bottom of your Shelf Space unit in place of the bottom shelf, so the whole unit rolls, and you still keep a usable bottom shelf. It's made in South Africa from heat-treated pine and is delivered free anywhere in the country.
Use it to make a mobile work bench, a rolling kitchen island, a movable stockroom or retail display, or simply a shelf you can pull out to clean behind.
Why customers choose it
- Makes any unit mobile: fit one per bay and roll the whole unit where you need it.
- Lockable wheels: 4 trolley wheels per shelf, which lock to keep the unit steady once it's in place.
- A real shelf, not just a frame: a full pine shelf on a timber base, so the bottom level is still usable storage.
- Matches your unit: five depths from 200mm to 600mm, to suit any Shelf Space shelving unit.

How to fit it
Use it as the bottom shelf of your unit: screw it to the bottom of the uprights, stand the unit up, and it's ready to roll. The wheels add 50mm to the total height of your unit. You'll need one Wheelie Base Shelf per bay. A 2-bay unit takes two, a 3-bay unit takes three, and so on.
