Gondola Display Shelving

At Dinya, our units are available in 900mm and 1200mm widths, support up to 70kg per shelf, and ship Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse.

Components:

Each unit is built from simple, reliable parts:

• A steel base with two uprights
• Back panels that determine which accessories you can use
• Adjustable shelves supported by gondola shelf brackets, set in 50mm increments

Starter bays can stand on their own, while add-on bays connect seamlessly to extend your layout. This makes it easy to start small and expand over time as your product range grows.

For retailers seeking flexible, long-lasting gondola retail systems, this modular approach is what makes gondola shelving such a strong foundation.

Types of Gondola Shelving Back Panels

Not all gondola shelving is the same. The back panel you choose plays a big role in how your products are displayed and how flexible your setup can be.

At Dinya Shopfittings, we supply three core options across our range of gondola shelving in Melbourne.

Volcano Pegboard Gondola Panels

Volcano pegboard panels feature a perforated metal surface that holds a wide range of pegboard hooks and accessories. They are commonly used in supermarkets and hardware stores where products are hung for easy access. This setup works particularly well for packaged goods, tools, and accessories that benefit from a clear, front-facing display.

If you’re planning a layout similar to supermarket shelving, volcano pegboard is often the most efficient option.

Plain Panel Gondola Backing

Plain panel gondola shelving offers a clean, flat backing that keeps the focus on the products themselves. This style is often used for pharmacy shelving, grocery stores, and general retail environments where a simple, uncluttered look is preferred. It pairs well with standard shelving and is ideal for stores prioritising clarity and organisation.

Metal Slatwall Gondola Panels

Metal slatwall gondola panels combine the strength of steel with the flexibility of slatwall systems.

They allow you to use a wide range of slatwall panels, slatwall accessories, and slatwall hooks, making them ideal for stores that need to mix shelving, hanging displays, and feature merchandising.

Dinya stocks a full slatwall gondola range, including centre bays, A-frame units, and spinning displays, all designed for flexible and layered product presentation.

Gondola Shelving Configurations and Types

Gondola shelving can be configured in different ways depending on how your store is laid out and how you want customers to move through the space.

Single-Sided Gondola Shelving

Single-sided units are designed to sit against walls, making them ideal for perimeter displays.

• Single-sided plain panel gondola shelving offers a clean and simple presentation, commonly used in pharmacies and convenience stores.
• Single-sided volcano panel gondola shelving allows for hook-based displays, making it suitable for stores with hanging products.

These systems are often used in convenience store shelving setups where space needs to be used efficiently.

Double-Sided Gondola Shelving

Double-sided units are placed in the centre of the store, allowing customers to browse from both sides and creating clear aisles. They are the foundation of most double-sided gondola shelving layouts, particularly in supermarkets and larger retail environments where maximising product exposure is essential.

Slatwall Gondolas

Slatwall gondolas combine shelving with flexible display options. They allow retailers to use hooks, shelves, and accessories together, making them ideal for stores with varied product types or frequently changing displays.

Five Core Slatwall Gondola Types

Within these configurations, Dinya Shopfittings offers five key gondola types:

• Centre Bays: The main shelving units used in aisles or along walls
• End Bays: Positioned at the end of aisles, ideal for promotions or seasonal displays
• A-Frame Gondolas: Freestanding units that allow browsing from both sides, often used in boutiques
• H-Frame Gondolas: Strong, central units designed for heavier products or feature displays
• Spinning Gondolas: Compact, rotating displays perfect for smaller items and impulse purchases

Gondola Shelving Sizes and Dimensions

Width Options

Dinya stocks gondola shelving in two standard widths:

• 900mm: Ideal for smaller stores, narrow aisles, and specialty retail
• 1200mm: Better suited to supermarkets and high-volume retail environments

Wider bays allow you to display more products per metre, while narrower bays help maintain comfortable movement in compact spaces.

Height Options

Our gondola units are available in heights from 1200mm to 2400mm:

• 1200mm: Keeps products within easy reach, ideal for smaller stores
• 1500mm–2400mm: Increases vertical display space and product capacity

Gondola Shelving for Different Retail Stores

Different store types benefit from different configurations of gondola retail systems.

• Supermarkets and grocery stores: Double-sided volcano pegboard gondola shelving for high-volume display
• Pharmacies and chemists: Single-sided plain panel or slatwall gondolas for accessibility and clean presentation
• Clothing and specialty retailers: Slatwall gondola shelving to combine hooks, rails, and shelves

This flexibility is what makes gondola shelving such a widely used gondola display solution across industries.

Gondola Shelving Accessories and Components

Accessories are what turn a basic shelving system into a complete retail display.

Common additions include:

• Pegboard and pegboard hooks for hanging products
• Slatwall hooks for flexible merchandising
• Data strips and Price Tag Hooks for pricing and labelling
• Shelf dividers and front fences for organisation

These components allow you to adjust your display as your product range changes, keeping your store looking organised and easy to shop.
