Definitions

• the invention relates to new shelves for store shelf systems developed for the storage or display of products, which are more versatile, environmentally friendly, and produced with a lean manufacturing process compared to existing technology shelves according to the state-of-the-art shelf, shelf systems and/or shelf units, allowing to reduce the thickness while increasing the capacity load.
• Shelf, shelf systems and/or shelf units such as grocery shelves, are an important tool for displaying and organizing products while shopping.
• Shelves and shelf systems are manufactured from materials such as metal and are widely used as marketing and sales tools to present the products to the buyer for sale, rental, and display purposes.
• shelf systems and/or shelf units have a positive impact on customers' shopping experience.
