Gondola shelving is one of the most widely used retail display systems in Australia. Retailers rely on it for its practicality, durability, and adaptability.
But one of the most common questions retailers have is: how much does it actually cost?
This pricing guide outlines current gondola shelving costs in Australia and details what influences the final price—giving store owners and fitout managers clarity before purchase.
Based on the latest listings from Mills Shelving, here’s what to expect:
• Single-sided gondola shelving: From $81 to $85 (ex. GST)
• Double-sided gondola shelving: From $146 to $150 (ex. GST)
These prices apply to starter bays with 300mm or 450mm base shelf depths. Units come in widths of 600mm, 900mm, and 1200mm, and heights of 1200mm to 2100mm.
Materials, back panel type, colour, and accessories will affect the total cost.
| Shelving Type | Price Range (AUD) | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Sided Unit | $81 – $85 | Wall placement, aisle ends, compact zones |
| Double-Sided Unit | $146 – $150 | Centre aisles, standalone displays |
Single-Sided Gondola Shelving works well along perimeter walls. Double-sided gondola Shelving suits high-traffic areas where products need to be accessed from both sides.
Deeper shelves (e.g. 450mm vs 300mm) allow for larger or bulkier products but increase material usage and price.
Taller units use more steel and require added bracing. Wider bays (1200mm vs 600mm) also cost more.
More shelves per bay mean more components and higher costs. Adjustable setups are typically priced above fixed options.
Heavy-duty shelving, used for hardware or boxed goods, includes reinforced parts. These designs are priced above light-duty units.
White, black, and hammertone are standard. Custom colours or powder-coated finishes come with added cost.
Options include flat punched, plain, and volcano punched panels. Some punch styles may cost more due to their production method or compatibility with accessories.
Wire baskets, data strips, hooks, dividers, and ticketing kits raise the overall price. These additions improve merchandising but increase cost.
Flat-packed units are self-assembled. If professional installation is required, it adds to the final quote.
Larger orders reduce the per-unit price and freight cost per item. Delivery location and access conditions also influence shipping fees.
| Configuration | Dimensions (H x W) | Depth | Est. Price (AUD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Sided, Entry-Level | 1500mm x 900mm | 300mm | $81 |
| Single-Sided, Wide Bay | 1800mm x 1200mm | 450mm | $85 |
| Double-Sided, Standard | 1800mm x 900mm | 300mm | $149 |
| Double-Sided, Large Format | 2100mm x 1200mm | 450mm | $150 |
All prices above are starting figures and exclude GST. Final pricing depends on your configuration and any added options.
Ordering shelving in volume brings multiple benefits:
• Reduced unit costs
• More efficient freight consolidation
• Easier planning for full-store layout
• Uniform appearance across shelving bays
Mills Shelving supports full fit-outs across Australia. Share your store layout, and we’ll quote based on your product volume, design, and accessory needs.
New gondola shelving gives you access to consistent sizing, modern finishes, and reliable stock availability. It also includes full height, colour, and panel type options, allowing for a cohesive fitout across your store. New units come with warranties and support, providing peace of mind for business owners setting up or expanding.
Used shelving often comes with limitations. Stock availability is inconsistent, finishes may be faded or scratched, and critical parts like uprights, feet, or end panels may be missing. Sizes might not match across units, making it harder to achieve a uniform layout. While second-hand units may appear cheaper upfront, the costs in time, replacements, or mismatches often offset the savings.
For most retail environments where presentation, flexibility, and reliability matter, new shelving is the more practical investment.
Mills Shelving offers straightforward pricing, Australia-wide delivery, and expert advice. Quotes are tailored based on shelving size, quantity, accessories, and location.
Overlooking Depth Requirements: Shallow shelves can restrict what you stock. Check product sizes before choosing 300mm or 450mm depths.
Buying Too Small: Selecting the shortest or narrowest shelving to save money may lead to cramped displays and poor merchandising.
Forgetting About Accessories: Add-ons like ticketing, hooks, or wire baskets help products sell. Leaving these out reduces shelf function.
Skipping Freight Planning: Poor access, remote locations, or tight deadlines can all add unexpected delivery charges. Be upfront about delivery needs.
