    Abstract: Generally horizontal food-supporting shelves vertically stacked in a space between wire side walls are movable from horizontal food-supporting positions to generally vertical loading positions to allow food products to be loaded onto a given shelf without interference from any shelf above the given shelf. At least one shelf is removable. The removable shelf has a spring steel wire at one side of the shelf, one end of which is attached to transverse rods forming the shelf. The opposite end of the spring steel wire is not attached but able to deflect into and out of a hook formed at one end of a rod at the back of the shelf.
