Cargo for the kitchen. Functional and practical element of the kitchen interior

Cargo for the kitchen is an element of the kitchen set, which is a bottle holder. It resembles a cabinet that is opened by pulling out the shelves. The main function is to place cans and bottles in such a position that they can be easily and conveniently viewed. In addition, cargo allows you to install them levelly, protecting them from tipping over. This ensures complete safety of its contents.


Chromed kitchen pull-out cargo

This element will be an excellent way to organize your workspace in the kitchen, because it can be difficult to fit countless jars and boxes. This is especially true in a small kitchen, because few cabinets and shelves can be installed here. In addition, you need to find a place for linen, dishes and other accessories. That is why in most cases it is impossible to do without cargo.

Purpose and location

In a kitchen where they cook with feeling, skill and taste, the cook must have at hand: table vinegar, vegetable oils, sauces, liquid seasonings, etc. A retractable bottle holder will best provide access to these products. As a rule, its place is next to the hob.

The same applies to cargo, where frying pans, baking sheets and other attributes of culinary action are kept.

Not far from the worktops, metal baskets are placed where canned goods, homemade products, and drinking water are stored.

It happens that cargo is the most convenient place to keep cleaning products and detergents. In this case, it is installed next to the sink or washing machine.

And the bottle holder, which fully lives up to its name and serves as a bar, is logically located closer to the dining area.

Cargo for any purpose can be mounted inside upper (wall) or lower cabinets. This depends on the height and preferences of the owners, as well as on the configuration and content of the headset.

If the space allows, it doesn’t hurt to equip the kitchen with two bottle holders. Just don’t place them adjacent to each other. Many owners like it when cargo is located on both sides of the hob. This allows you to keep many items and products needed for daily cooking within reach.


cargo are located both on the left and on the right

What is it

Cargo is a retractable metal basket that is built into the lower or upper tiers of kitchen cabinets. This storage system allows you to save a lot of space. But its main advantage is practicality.

Types of sectional retractable structures

  • Cargo coating can be different (enamel, paint, etc.). The chrome-plated sliding mechanisms look very nice;
  • The number of tiers (shelves) also varies. You can purchase a small “one-story” structure for storing bottles or canned goods, or you can give preference to a large “cabinet” with many shelves. It all depends on the purpose of using this piece of furniture and its price;
  • The cargo can also be equipped with bottle dividers and a holder for towels and baking sheets;
  • The height of the shelves in some models of the retractable headset elements under consideration can be adjusted, and special clips protect them from falling.

Let's talk about sizes

The sizes of these elements may vary. Let's look at each parameter:

  • Width – varies from 15 to 90 cm. The choice of design depends on the width of the section that is allocated for it.
  • Height. The range here is impressive: from the smallest inserts (16 cm) to high “cabinets”, the maximum height of which is determined by the manufacturer.
  • Depth. As a rule, cargo goes deep into the cabinet section by an average of 50 cm, but there are exceptions.

This pull-out design can be used to store utensils, which is very convenient (choose also the most elegant fittings for kitchen cabinets).

Cargo for storing dishes

Tall cargo can hold a lot of products or things (especially if it is a wide design).

Storing detergents in cargo, built into the section under the sink, is very functional (

Design

Most often, two- or three-level iron baskets . The first ones are especially popular - classic two-level cargo, which perfectly accommodates drinks, oils and seasonings in bottle containers of different sizes.

multi-level bottle holders that are almost human-sized may be relevant


Bottle holder as a type of kitchen cabinet

If the inhabitants of an apartment (house) are accustomed to keeping towels in a bottle holder, it is best to equip it with a towel holder .

Towel holders inside cargo: ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing

To prevent the glassware inside the cargo from falling or clinking when pulled out or turned, it is advisable to have bottle dividers inside.

And for complete comfort in using a roll-out basket, you need to choose models equipped with closers and devices for soft, silent closing.

Dimensions

Typical cargo dimensions are 100 - 200 mm with an interval of 50 mm. However, it must be taken into account that in stores the price tags indicating the width of the bottle holders mean the parameters not of the products themselves, but of the boxes or niches where they will be built. For example, if you see a bottle holder on sale labeled “200 mm wide,” you can safely buy it for a cabinet with a front width of 200 mm.

Non-standard cargo sizes can reach up to 450 mm. In such baskets it is convenient to store not so much bottles as bulky culinary items - pots, pans, cauldrons and even household appliances. For example, to get a large saucepan from the depths of a cabinet that is rarely used, you don’t have to stir up a pile of dishes—just pull out the cargo and the desired item will be at hand.

Mounting method

Bottle holders that are mounted inside a furniture box or in a niche in a room are called built-in . As a rule, they are hidden by kitchen facades and are convenient because they allow ergonomic use of a narrow space that is not suitable for other purposes.

Built-in cargo also differs in the location of fixation. The most stable and reliable is the side cargo fastening, in which the guide rails are located to the left and right of the roll-out basket.

It happens that in a narrow box there is not enough space for side fixation, then the bottom one is used. In this case, the rails are attached to the bottom of the furniture body or directly to the floor, which must be perfectly flat and smooth.

There are also autonomous cargo . They can be either stationary or mobile (roll-out or portable). It is convenient to change the location of the latter depending on the situation. For example, when receiving guests, a bottle of drinks can be placed at the dining table, and then put away in the pantry.


Stand-alone models are often made to look antique

How to choose

The price of roll-out baskets, identical in size and configuration, can differ significantly. What explains this? First of all, the brand’s popularity and the quality of the fittings. To the upper price category - from 10 thousand rubles. and above, as a rule, include products of German and Austrian production. This is cargo from brands such as Blum, Hettich, Kessebohmer. The average price segment is from 3 to 10 thousand rubles. - bottle bottlers from Italian (Vibo), Polish (Rejs) and some German (Vault-Sagel) factories are often represented. Economy class options - from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. - usually offered by Chinese manufacturers. What is the functional difference between expensive and budget models? The first ones are as ergonomic and comfortable to use as possible. Their rods do not rust from moisture and do not bend under slight overload (over 12 kg). They close smoothly, softly and quietly after a light touch. Expensive fittings mean not only convenience, but also a long, at least 15 years, service life of the products. Such bottle holders can be installed in a kitchen with a bar cabinet, for example, as here.

And the most budget bottle holders do not have closers, do not extend completely and are usually used for no longer than 2 - 5 years. However, even when buying cargo in the upper price category, you can save money. To do this, it is enough to purchase it separately from the kitchen set - in a showroom or online store. If you order a bottle holder complete with a set, you will have to pay a markup on the furniture “filling”, which is installed by trading companies. Here you can get acquainted with different styles of kitchens for which bottle holders are suitable.

Corner cargo

Corner cargo baskets have a beveled front part, which is why these retractable systems are often used for installation in the lower corner ends of kitchens. These mechanisms are suitable for installation in cabinets with a facade width of 150 or 300 mm, while the actual width of such modules is 135 or 255 millimeters. This difference in size is due to the fact that due to the angle of 45°, the horizontal dimensions of the facade increase - the Pythagorean theorem works. Manufacturers produce both right and left beveled cargo, making them suitable for kitchens with any arrangement of corner ends.

Corner cargos have a side mounting and extension system; some models can be equipped with closers. Stiver-100 uses 2 and 3-tier baskets with a beveled front part for the manufacture of kitchens. These systems for facades with a width of 150 mm are used not only for installation in small corner ends of kitchen units, but are also successfully used to complete modules located to the right and left of the oven. This type of kitchen design is possible with a protruding countertop in the area where the hob is located.

Cargo material

All cargo consists of a retractable mechanism and a frame. The next section is devoted to a description of the guides that are equipped with cargo, but now it is worth paying attention to the materials used to make the frame and baskets.

There are several technologies for producing cargo hulls, and some of them are aimed at reducing the cost of products rather than improving their quality. Despite the existing differences, products from different companies have one common characteristic - they are all made of round and flat steel wire and have a protective and decorative coating. The difference between cargo is in the quality and thickness of the wire, the reliability of welded joints and the durability of the protective layer.

On sale you can find inexpensive cargo made from fairly thin wire with a white powder coating. Our company is categorically against the use of such systems for the manufacture of kitchens, since their quality leaves much to be desired. The appearance of rust on the surface, unstable movement and the inability of the baskets to withstand normal loads are just some of the unflattering characteristics inherent in these devices.

Stiver-100 equips furniture mainly with cargo from the Italian company Vibo or from other European manufacturers, for example, KESSEBOHMER, who care primarily about the quality of their products. All these systems are equipped with reliable, smooth-running guides and many additional functions and are made of durable steel wire with a 4-fold galvanic coating, the thickness of which is at least 35 microns. The use of such materials and technologies provides the pull-out baskets with the ability to withstand loads of at least 20 kg for the entire system and allows the cargo to be used for 100,000 full “opening-closing” cycles - this is about 10 years of service life of the kitchen set.

Functional features of a kitchen bottle holder

Storing bottles in the kitchen is not always convenient. A separate cabinet should be allocated for your personal minibar, and you should be extremely careful when removing or replenishing containers. Cargo is designed to solve this problem. The design has special cells with fastenings for reliable fixation and convenient manipulation of bottles.

Attention! The bottle shop is not just a place for alcoholic drinks. Sunflower oil, vinegar, and jars with bottoms of suitable diameter can be easily stored in it.

Other design characteristics:

  1. Most often it is placed between the modules, hanging from the side fastenings.
  2. It is small in size. This feature narrows the range of bottles that can be placed here. Decide on the tasks for the cargo and place collectible drinks or containers for everyday use there.

Cargo installation methods

Retractable multi-level baskets can be attached either to the vertical side post of the cabinet or to its bottom. The choice of installation method is determined by the design of the cargo and the dimensions of the nets. Side fastening is typical for narrow retractable devices designed for installation in cabinets with a façade width of up to 300 mm. In all other cases, it is recommended to use models with a lower mounting platform. These modifications provide greater reliability and cargo capacity.

Cargo with a lower mounting platform is additionally equipped with a pair of stabilization rollers with ball bearings and rubber rims. They are installed at the rear of the frame, snapping onto vertical wire supports. Thanks to these elements, a smooth ride of the cargo is ensured and possible backlash in the frame is eliminated. The mounting strip for stabilizing rollers has a width adjustment function, which, together with additional spacer strips, allows the use of such devices in cabinets with non-standard dimensions.

The kitchen fronts are fixed to the cargo body using special mounting strips, which, after marking, are screwed to the back of the door and then connected to the cargo frame. This method of installing facades ensures a stable position of the doors in a given position, and also allows for the possibility of self-adjustment - to do this, just screw in the fastening screws a little with a regular screwdriver, adjust the door and tighten the structure again. This procedure can be done by anyone – you don’t have to be a furniture maker or builder. Technologists at Stiver-100 specially select mechanisms for kitchens that retain their original settings for a long time, but, if necessary, can be easily adjusted by the owner of the set without calling a specialist to the house.

Conclusion

Without a doubt, a modern kitchen should be equipped with functional mechanisms that facilitate the use of furniture, ensure order and save space and time spent on cooking. No one should be convinced of this; the question now is different - which systems are better to choose? Contact us and we will provide you with information and technological assistance in this matter. To get a more complete picture of the retractable systems we use, we recommend that you read the article about retractable and rotary-sliding columns for pencil cases, independent retractable baskets and grids, as well as rotating-pull-out baskets for corner modules.

Cargo sizes

Apartment kitchens in multi-storey buildings rarely allow you to go wild in interior design. Therefore, manufacturers of bottle holders proceed from the fact that, along with bottles, cabinets must also accommodate other kitchen utensils and products. However, among cargo there are models of different sizes:

  • Big ones. This is a convenient 2-in-1 format that allows you to save space in the room. The width of the box is from 200 cm. Cells for bottles are adjacent to places for storing dishes. Additional cabinets for plates and bottles do not need to be installed. Due to their size, large bottle holders are not mounted sideways.
  • Average. They have a width of 150-200 cm. They also include places not only for bottles, but there are fewer of them than in the first option. In this cargo you can store jars of bulk substances, boxes, etc. next to drinks.

  • Small ones. The size does not exceed 100 cm. This is the most popular format due to its size and versatility in terms of integration into a ready-made set. As a rule, you can fit quite a lot of bottles in it - the manufacturer took care of maximizing the usable area of ​​the structure. A couple of packs of cereal and cans of canned food will also fit in this cargo.

Decorative bottle holders

Cargo in the kitchen can be not only a practical thing, but also provide a decorative function. Such bottle holders allow you to aesthetically store various bottles, but in most cases they are somewhat limited in size and cannot store many items. Today there are many decorative cargo options that allow you to effectively store and serve all kinds of drinks.

Wicker bottle holder - original decor

Original cargos, which allow you to serve wine at the table, are very popular today. Even ordinary types of wines that will be served to guests will be very attractive to them. It is recommended to protect such cargo from temperature changes, so they are placed away from windows and heat sources.

Decorative cargo can be made from different materials. For example, it could be wood, plastic, metal or glass. Moreover, the design of such a device can be completely different and even surprising. There are products that are designed to store just one exclusive bottle. However, there are options that can store hundreds of bottles.

Therefore, if you decide to decorate your interior with a decorative bottle, consider all possible options and choose what will be more attractive and important to you.

Types of bottle holders

Cargo can be classified according to the following criteria:

  • number of levels;
  • installation method;
  • content type.

The design can have 2 or 3 levels. The first option is the most popular and convenient. Bottles of almost any size can be installed vertically without any problems. Three-level ones are less practical. You will have to place some bottles in inclined mounts. Manufacturers took this step to increase the capacity of the bottle holder and save space.

According to the installation method, cargo is divided into two types:

  1. Autonomous. A separate element that does not need to be attached anywhere. Installed on a table, on the floor, on a cabinet, etc. It is selected in the spirit of the kitchen design and can become its accent, highlight.
  2. Built-in. Designed for installation inside the headset. Requires selection in accordance with the parameters of the furniture.

Many bottle holders are, to one degree or another, universal in purpose, but there are models for specific filling:

  • for alcohol;
  • for sauces and spices;
  • for children's products - formulas, juices, etc.;
  • for water;
  • portable, for serving drinks to the table.

Installation of cargo for the kitchen

This is an element that is mounted on ball or roller guides.

Mounting features

There are three types: side, bottom, front. The mounting location affects comfortable use.

“Be sure to watch the instructional video before doing the installation yourself.”

The best mounting option is ball guides, which guarantee a smooth exit of the retractable basket and leads out of the section to the end.

Regardless of the fittings, the mounting pattern must be followed in accordance with the instructions that were issued with the basket.

Installing cargo for the kitchen with side mount

It should go 3-4 mm deep into the cabinet. If you have already purchased this piece of furniture and it cannot go deep enough, remove the back wall.

  • Section dismantling;
  • Removing the walls and attaching the guides;
  • We apply the resulting structure to the cabinet wall, mark the edges of the guides;
  • We remove the guides from the basket, apply them to the wall, screw in the screws and tires;
  • We install a retractable cargo for the kitchen, slide it in;
  • We install the front facade.

How to make a bottle holder with your own hands

The built-in bottle holder essentially becomes a mini-module itself. If your set, for example, is assembled from laminated chipboard, then it is also better to make the cargo box similar in material and color. It’s easy to make a niche:

  1. If your set is just a project, then you can make a bottle holder of any size. Factory designs, as a rule, have only a few standard dimensions.
  2. Carry out measurements taking into account the communications that are available at the location of the structure. Do not forget to subtract 1 cm from the height of the legs from the height of the kitchen modules.
  3. Draw a design and cut out the bottle holders. It can be done on graph paper, or in one of the simple and free programs. For example, PRO100, which itself will provide a list of required elements.

When receiving finished items, check them carefully for chips, scratches and other mechanical damage. Learn how to apply the edge correctly. The simplest filling of a homemade bottle holder is ordinary sides that will prevent the bottles from falling out, but will not protect them from mutual impacts. You can come up with something more complicated: cells made of slats, glazing beads, drywall. They can even be knitted from ropes or woven using macrame. In this case, the aesthetics and style of the design depend on your skills.

Mounting options

The method of fastening the cargo also affects its location. There are 2 types of fastening:

  • - Bottom mount - the bottle holder can be located anywhere in the kitchen. Used when there is not enough space for side mounting. The rails are installed on the bottom of the kitchen unit or to the floor. Important!!! The floor in the kitchen should be extremely level.
  • — Lateral fastening – the structure is attached to the wall of a cabinet of the same size. It is considered a more stable mount. The box that is being rolled out moves along rails located on opposite sides of it.

Depending on the wishes of the owner, cargo is placed in the upper (wall) or lower cabinet.

Bottom cabinet

It is considered the most convenient and popular cargo option. Convenience is explained by the location of things, literally, at hand.

Upper cabinet

Located in the top cabinet. The housewife places rarely used household items. For example, service, jars of cereals.

Column cabinet

First of all, it saves space and provides maximum space for storing kitchen items. It is a pencil case with 4-5 sections. There are several shelves and various types of additional accessories. These can be hooks and pallets. Dimensions are larger than regular cargo. The pencil case is wider and taller than a regular bottle holder for the kitchen.

Autonomous

It can even be placed in the center of the kitchen. Acts as an independent unit of kitchen furniture. In demand precisely because of mobility.

Designer's advice:

  1. Place cargo in 2 tiers of kitchen furniture.
  2. For convenience, you can make 2 pull-out baskets - near the stove and the workplace.
  3. The large kitchen area makes it possible to install a cabinet-case up to the ceiling with a towel holder.
  4. A small bottle holder for decoration is placed on the table. It stores bottles of alcoholic drinks.

Types and sizes of kitchen products

A bottle holder (often called a cargo bottle) is usually a basket made of durable metal rods, which has a sliding mechanism and stops that are needed for the safe placement of food, various bottles, spices or towels. The purpose of this design is to store certain containers in one place, which is why it is placed closer to the stove, and many structures are even installed on both sides of it.

At first, only wine was stored in bottle containers. Placing the bottles on such a stand helped free up space on the table. Nowadays, this device has become more functional, thanks to changes in the usual design. The bottle holder is increasingly used to preserve food, so you can now find bottles of detergents, towels and other kitchen utensils here. In the latter case, the system is installed next to the sink.

The main advantage of this arrangement is convenience.

  • all bottles and containers are in one place;
  • you can place a lot of little things here;
  • complete completion of the kitchen set.

There are also disadvantages:

  • if small children live in the house, then such a box will remain empty for a long time, since it is quite dangerous to store containers with various liquids in such an accessible place;
  • if the bottle is less than half full, it may fall when opening the drawer;
  • considerable cost of the device;
  • inconvenient to clean and wash.

Structurally, bottle holders are divided into two main groups.

  1. Built-in. They are combined with furniture, placed in the bottom drawer, but there are also top options. More often they have a structure of two levels that are held in place by special guide elements. The dimensions fit the dimensions of a regular bottle. Such devices are also called retractable devices.
  2. Separate sections. They are sold separately. They are usually designed discreetly so that, using the existing design, they can easily fit into the ensemble of any kitchen, and also so that they can be adapted to any standard kitchen. The dimensions allow you to store not only tall bottles and all kinds of containers - special towel holders are often used here. The dimensions of this kind of product can be from 100 mm to 150 mm. In addition, they can be used not only to store oversized cans or tall bottles, but also become an excellent place to store dishes.

Cargos are considered completely autonomous. They are produced stationary for location in one place, as well as mobile - usually roll-out or portable. It is convenient to change the location of the latter depending on the specific situation.

When guests arrive, such a bottle holder can be deployed right next to the dining table so that any drinks are available, and after the end of the celebration it can be rolled into the pantry.

Cargo bottle holder in the kitchen interior - features and advantages

A bottle holder is an element installed in the upper or lower module of a kitchen unit and serves to accommodate long and narrow containers.

Article on the topic: How to care for natural rattan furniture

The advantages of this solution are:

  • optimization of space in the kitchen - all bottles are conveniently stored in one place, there is no need to search for the required container in all cabinets;
  • maintaining order is extremely important for housewives who are accustomed to putting things in their places;
  • the ability to fill the voids that arise when arranging cabinets;
  • attractive appearance - the bottle holder will fit perfectly into any interior: from classic to modern.

Cargo can be used to store a variety of items, not just food bottles. You can also place tall dishes there, such as vases, as well as containers with household chemicals and even baking trays.

Other product features

Based on functionality, bottle holders are divided into levels.

  • Two-level. The most convenient form of bottle holder to use. A bottle of any size can be placed without any problems in the slots located between the two shelves.
  • Three-level. They are considered much less convenient than devices with two levels, but they can accommodate more items. Bottles of regular shapes will have to be placed on their side, as they may not fit in a standing position.
  • Multi-level. For large kitchens, products with many levels, almost as tall as a person, may be relevant. You can put tall bottles here, small jars of pickles, clean baking sheets with trays, and much more.

To prevent the glassware inside the bottle from falling or clinking when using the structure, it is better to have special separators for containers inside. And for the greatest comfort when using a roll-out basket, you need to select models with closers - they will ensure soft and completely silent closing of this structure.

  1. Bottom cabinet. The best location for the bottle holder can be considered to be installed at the level of the lower cabinet - this is very convenient, since everything you need for cooking or cleaning will be nearby. Placing them at eye level will not make sense, since the work area and sink are always located below.
  2. Upper cabinet. Securing the bottle holder on the top tier means placing less frequently used items in it. This, for example, could be dishes for special occasions or cans of cereals. You can also store wine here.
  3. Column cabinet. Another quite popular type is cargo for a solid kitchen in a tall cabinet in the form of a column. Here you can already find non-standard sizes; the width of the façade of such a product can be 150–200 mm, and the height of the frame 1600–1800 mm. Due to such parameters, the number of sections will be 4 or 5 pieces, and in addition to the usual forms for placing bottles, there will be different trays, pallets, hooks and other popular elements.

Useful additions

An excellent addition that is recommended to be installed for a retractable system are door closers. They make it possible to close the cabinet in the safest way, which will protect items from falling or breaking. In addition, the noise that is made when closing the doors will disappear. After installing the closers, it will not matter how you close the door. When closing, the movement will slow down as you approach the body, and at the end it will be minimal.


Cargo with closer

Also useful elements for a bottle holder include bottle separators. This accessory in the form of metal half-rings allows you to prevent accidental contact of glass bottles.

Thanks to this approach, a contactless proximity is ensured, which makes it possible to guarantee the safety and integrity of the cargo contents. This element is most often not included in the standard package, so the cost of a bottle holder with a similar element will be slightly higher.

Mounting methods

The basket is attached differently each time.

  • Side mount. The size of this kind of retractable bottle holder that is attached to the headset should be no more than 200 mm. You should not choose a larger width, otherwise you can significantly overload the load-bearing elements, which will lead to their breakage.
  • Bottom mounting. The most reliable and stable option for use. This bottle holder is usually placed between cabinets. In such a pull-out type element it will be possible to put oil or spices, some products, making them accessible. This greatly simplifies the cooking process. You can choose bottle holders with a small drawer for fruits and vegetables.

Cargo with a width of 250 or 300 mm is intended for fairly large kitchens. The significant width of the shelves will allow you to store in such a device not only many bottles, but also food, as well as dishes.

Advantages and disadvantages of a bottle holder

This element will appeal to all housewives, since you will no longer need to reach into the far corners of the cabinet in order to take some necessary thing. To perform this procedure, it will be enough to pull out the basket, after which everything you need can not only be simply taken by hand, but also calmly examined. This is especially important if you need to store many items. Cargo allows you to conveniently store not only glass bottles, but also many other kitchen items.

Storing bottles in a bottle holder

In addition, this approach will significantly save time and also maintain order in the closet. Everything will be in its place and you can always find what you would like. Therefore, such a bottle holder has a lot of advantages. The only drawback will be the price, because this is an additional element that is installed directly into the headset or separately.

However, if convenience is important to you, then you should definitely purchase this kitchen element. It will significantly save energy, nerves, and time. In addition, it is not necessary to purchase an expensive bottle holder, because it is a fairly simple element of the kitchen interior.

You can always find a cargo option that will satisfy both quality and price. Moreover, if you don’t want to spend money on store-bought versions of cargo, then you can make it yourself. This will require a little effort. But later you will be able to conveniently store a variety of items: bottles, containers, detergents, canned food, cups, plates, pans and other products. The functionality of this design is simply enormous.

How to choose?

When choosing the most suitable design, you need to consider the following points.

  • Items that you plan to store in cargo.
  • The weight you will need to accommodate. The selection of the required material and the type of fittings used will directly depend on this.
  • The dimensions of the space you want to fill.
  • Budget purchase: the option you want to choose for this is inexpensive, or you will be satisfied with a more expensive solution.

There are basic parameters for choosing the right cargo, there are only two of them.

  • Size. In order to store containers with oil and small spices in your cargo, a small 100 mm bottle holder will be enough for you. If you also want to place detergents there, as well as various cleaning accessories, then it is better to choose medium-width cargo - up to 150 mm.
  • Number of shelves. Standard bottle holders have 2 shelves. The lower one is reserved for bottles, the upper one is for oversized containers.

Types of extension mechanisms for cargo

Depending on the mounting method and design, cargo models are equipped with either telescopic ball guides or their roller counterparts. These mechanisms can be either partial or full extension; the choice of device for this parameter is based on the functional purpose of a particular module for the lower base of the kitchen set.

In addition, like boxes, cargo can be equipped with soft closing devices and closers. It is recommended to give preference to such models, as they are more convenient to use and ensure the correct and stable position of the facade when closed. Some retractable systems, mostly made in China, without an automatic closing function may have a slight backlash, which sometimes requires the façade to be adjusted. The Stiver-100 company does not use such models for the manufacture of its furniture, preferring to install reliable Italian Vibo retractable systems or devices from German companies KESSEBOHMER and VAUTH-SAGEL.

The KESSEBOHMER company equips some retractable systems with guides from the Austrian concern BLUM (TANDEM inside) or the German Hettich (Quadro). Accordingly, such mechanisms have properties inherent to boxes made using these components:

• high reliability and durability;

• smooth, stabilized movement;

• absence of play and noise when moving the frame with baskets;

• presence of a smooth self-closing function;

• the ability to extend the cargo after pressing on the front of the module, which is ensured by installing additional Push-to-Open or Easys devices (for Hettich guides) or TIP-ON for drawers and doors or SERVO-DRIVE uno (for BLUM mechanisms).

Despite the cost of such systems, in some cases their installation is economically justified. After all, only one pair of guides is used for cargo (the same applies to auxiliary mechanisms), and to equip the same module with several drawers, a large sum will be required due to the increase in the number of necessary fittings and components. True, the choice should still be determined not by savings, but by the feasibility of using one or another retractable mechanism. We recommend discussing both options with our technologist, as well as calculating their cost, and then making an informed decision. In most cases, it is considered rational to install two or three-level cargo with guides from Hettich or BLUM in cabinets with a body width from 250 to 450 mm, which are designed for drying dishes or storing bulk products, canned goods, bottles, etc.

Manufacturers

How to choose a retractable bottle holder + photo

Traditional kitchen cabinets, especially narrow and tall ones, are not the most convenient to use. To find a bottle at the back of a closet, you often have to reach for other items and sometimes take out other things. This results in chaos and disorder.

The solution to the problem is a retractable bottle holder for the kitchen with or without a closer, allowing you to easily access the entire contents of the cabinet with one movement. What types of retractable cargo are available, why they are convenient, what sizes and shapes they can take – this will be discussed below.

Mounting features

  1. Side mount. It is advisable not to use this method of fastening for bottle holders with a width of more than 15-20 cm, because this will overload the structural elements. Fastening in this way is carried out as follows:
    • First, determine the department in the closet where the cargo will be placed. Certain headset models already have a special compartment for this product. If this is not the case, then you can use any compartment for cargo by installing an additional partition there;
    • guides are attached to the side wall inside the cabinet using small wood screws;

  2. the cargo is assembled in accordance with the instructions;
  3. A facade panel is installed at the end part, which serves as a door.
  4. Bottle holder with soft closing mechanism

  5. Bottom mount. This method is more practical. However, the costs here will be slightly higher. This is due to the fact that this design has a trolley on rollers, on which the cargo itself is mounted. Its installation looks like this:
      such a bottle holder is installed in the space between the cabinets;
  6. according to the instructions, the trolley itself or the guides are fixed;
  7. After the cargo is fixed, a facade panel is mounted on the front part.
  8. at the end a handle is attached to the door.

Cargo installation diagram

When choosing cargo for the kitchen, you should take into account that such a design must go deeper into the cabinet by at least a few millimeters. If the basket does not fit this far, then it makes sense to dismantle the back of the cabinet. If the size of the basket is suitable, then you can safely install it:

  1. First, dismantle the section where the bottle holder will be installed;
  2. The back and side walls are removed;
  3. The structure is applied to the untouched side of the cabinet, with the guides located below. You also need to remember that you should leave a few millimeters for a recess from the front of the bottle holder;
  4. The extreme points are marked on the wall. Next, the parallelism of the guides is checked;
  5. Attachment points are outlined;
  6. The guides are screwed in using self-tapping screws;
  7. The cargo is secured, after which its performance is checked. If deficiencies are discovered, they should be eliminated immediately;
  8. The wardrobe is being assembled.

To secure the façade, two methods can be used:

  1. using metal strips placed on the cargo body;
  2. using removable plates.

What is a cargo or sliding wardrobe?

Cargo is a drawer with compartments attached to one front of furniture. Unlike traditional inner drawers, opening the cargo pulls out all the shelves/drawers at once. These are not ordinary shelves, but metal or plastic baskets, usually with adjustable height. Bottles in the cabinets are placed on durable guides, which, in addition to their high load capacity, are characterized by a smooth, soft movement.

Retractable cargo under the tabletop

Undercounter cargo is an extremely popular and frequently chosen solution. Typically, cargo is used in cabinets where it is impossible to place a traditional cabinet or drawer. When designing a kitchen, there is often little space left over. The extra 15, 20, 30 cm of space are perfectly filled with a sliding wardrobe. Thanks to cargo, optimal use of available space is achieved. Wardrobe lift includes:

  • 2 shelves, for example for bottles, cleaning products;
  • one shelf and rails.

A retractable bottle holder is a much more convenient solution than open shelves that constantly accumulate dust.

Tall bottle holder with closers and adjustable shelves

Another type of basket is high elevators. Behind the stylish, top front is a set of adjustable shelves, the contents sliding out after we pull the handle. Modern models are characterized by smooth, easy movement even under high loads. There is no risk of bottles and cans breaking. We get convenient access to the entire contents of the cabinet from 2 sides, in some models - from 3 sides. Adjustable shelves allow you to adapt the lift to store items of different sizes. The advantage of the model is the ability to completely remove each shelf.

Useful equipment for large cabinets is a silent closing system with closers. The closer automatically reaches and closes the cabinet without the need for much effort.

Kitchen pantry

While there is no need to worry about lack of access to food these days, modern apartments lack the space for a traditional pantry, sometimes requiring a cupboard to store a relatively large amount of food stock. Especially if we like to cook or go shopping once every 1-2 weeks. A tall cabinet located next to the refrigerator will make life easier and significantly speed up work in the kitchen. All necessary products, cans, bottles will be placed in a convenient pull-out cabinet.

Available sizes of bottle holders in the kitchen set

Pull-out baskets adapt to different cabinet sizes. The narrowest bottle holder 150, 100, 200 mm is designed for cabinets with a width of 15, 10, 20 cm. There are models with a width of 300, 400, 500, 600 mm.

Cargo for bottles is also divided into:

  • low (height up to 82 cm);
  • medium midi (120-140 cm);
  • high maxi (170-210 cm), designed for tall cabinets.

Convenient inserts, dividers, organizers

An interesting solution to ensure bottle stability is additional dividers for wide cabinets. Such gratings and organizers allow each bottle to occupy a specific place and prevent the risk of tipping over when opened abruptly. Organizers are made from:

Advantages and disadvantages

The bottle holder has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

  • the ability to use bottlenecks in kitchen furniture;
  • simplifying the storage of bottles and cans;
  • convenient food storage;
  • convenient access to the contents of the cabinet;
  • convenient, fast work in the kitchen.

Flaws

  • high cost of high models;
  • reducing actual cabinet space.

What to store in cargo in the kitchen?

Traditional cargo is shaped like two narrow, pull-out vertical shelves that are fastened together, making it ideal for storing bottles. It is worth saying that the bottle holder can serve as both a bar and a place for storing food. It can successfully accommodate bottles not only with wine, but also with other contents: sunflower oil, plain water, juice bags, sauces, vinegar and other products stored in bottles, cardboard bags or narrow jars. Very often they also contain jars of spices, and they even use them to store some utensils.

Cargo for the kitchen

Wide cargo is no longer intended for storing bottles, but for dishes and other products; this is an excellent alternative to shelves. The retractable panel makes it easy to get the things you need, without the need to bend over and dig through the lower modules every time to find the right item. Pots, pans, plates and other kitchen utensils can easily fit there in the cargo. There are even special stands for storing plates for it.

Cargo system for the kitchen

Depending on the purpose, cargo can be located in different places of the headset, including near the sink. In this regard, all kitchen chemicals and items: dishwashing liquid, powders, stove care products, sponges, rags, etc. - all this can easily be located there. This solution allows you to organize the space under the sink and easily get what you need when you need it. Often, for this purpose, cargo is filled not only in the form of shelves, but also with hooks, for greater convenience.

Bottle racks, racks, hangers

Shelves, racks, wine hangers are accessories that allow you to organize bottles for alcoholic beverages in the kitchen space. Wine lovers should definitely look for stylish, atmospheric stands. The exhibited collection of alcoholic beverages has many advantages:

  • will be an interesting decoration for the kitchen;
  • will fill the free space;
  • will facilitate the overview and selection of wine stocks.

Rack, hanger or shelf?

Gourmets who always prefer to keep several bottles of wine in stock can equip the kitchen with a stand and a special bottle hanger. It is possible to individually choose:

  • number of partitions;
  • shape;
  • way of placing exhibits.

The choice is wide - from very simple models to complex, carefully crafted stands. Small bottle holders will fit even in small kitchens; they do not require much space. A convenient hanger will fit elegantly on the wall.

An interesting solution is to place shelves and a small cabinet above the kitchen countertop.

Bottle holders are created in the legs of a small table against the wall. The solution is practical, charming, and shows that Irish solutions look great even in a small kitchen.

A stand for single bottles is useful for a party or formal dinner. Proper design prevents the bottle from tipping over. The forced position of the bottle will protect the tablecloth from staining the served drink; wine stains are difficult to deal with. Some stands are very interesting, creating a complex structure, for example, the laws of negative gravity. Guests will surely like the original models and will become a showcase of the interior.

Classic wooden racks nicely highlight the traditional nature of wine stocks. You can make the simplest models of bottle holders with your own hands using planks and a wooden box. Bamboo models look impressive. Bottle holders with an openwork design make it easier to choose wine - the label is visible without having to take out the bottle.

For connoisseurs and collectors, a shelf or rack in a kitchen cabinet is suitable. You can separate a special part of the kitchen set for the bottle holder or choose a completely separate design. Each solution looks great if you take care of the correct display of valuable exhibits.

Using several stands will allow you to achieve an interesting effect of a home wine cellar. Some models are combined as modules, allowing you to expand the collection. In creative combinations, it is important not only to create a cabinet for bottles, but also a decorative attribute. Special accessories combine:

  • modern design;
  • elegant materials;
  • designer form.

A wine cabinet will complement the thoughtful interior. Noble wine in home collections requires an appropriate display case. Placing a noble drink in the kitchen will wonderfully decorate the interior.

If you need to always have a bottle of wine at hand, especially if you need to use wine for cooking, you should equip the kitchen with a railing system with a wine rack. A special panel is useful for other functions.

Advantages and disadvantages of a bottle holder

This element will appeal to all housewives, since you will no longer need to reach into the far corners of the cabinet in order to take some necessary thing. To perform this procedure, it will be enough to pull out the basket, after which everything you need can not only be simply taken by hand, but also calmly examined. This is especially important if you need to store many items. Cargo allows you to conveniently store not only glass bottles, but also many other kitchen items.

In addition, this approach will significantly save time and also maintain order in the closet. Everything will be in its place and you can always find what you would like. Therefore, such a bottle holder has a lot of advantages. The only drawback will be the price, because this is an additional element that is installed directly into the headset or separately.
