What is the average weight-bearing capacity of a Modular Kitchen Basket?
Your question “what is the average weight-bearing capacity of Modular Kitchen Basket” is good but it is incomplete.
Actually kitchen drawer is made up of a telescopic channel and a wire basket. We pull outside and push inside the wire basket and it runs on a telescopic channel. Almost all wicker baskets are of the same strength, they can hold almost the same amount of weight. In the kitchen drawer system telescopic channel plays an important role.
Type of Channels
There are different types of channel and runner system. There are so many manufacturers and importers of the channel, their quality varies. You can go through our special video on channels. Click on THE MODULAR KITCHEN.
500 mm Telescopic Channel
In the kitchen generally, we use 500 mm telescopic channel. Trusted brands like GODREJ, HETTICH, HAFELE etc. Has weight-bearing capacity from 30 kg – 70 kg. The normal telescopic channel of 500 mm has a weight-bearing capacity of 30-35 kg. If you will ask the shopkeeper for 45 kg or above load capacity telescopic channel then only he will provide you. In a normal drawer, 30-35 kg weight-bearing capacity of the channel is enough.
Suggestions
We can use a heavy weight-bearing channel in the grain trolley unit only. Rarely used channels are expensive and of no use for normal drawers. We don’t put that much heavy weight on baskets. In the kitchen always use trusted brands, don’t go for cheap price or brand.
