✅ What is cargo in furniture

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.

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.

Cargo shelves in the kitchen

Every housewife strives to conveniently organize her free space.
One of the most interesting and functional parts of the kitchen set is the bottle holder. This retractable element has the second name “cargo”.

It is convenient to place bottles of different levels, jars and even pots in the kitchen, properly organizing free space.

It will prevent them from turning over and knocking over objects.

At the end, this part is protected by a facade, which can be made of plastic, wood, chipboard, MDF and other materials.

Inside the kitchen set it is held by telescopic guides along which it moves.

The kitchen cargo consists of 2 or 3 levels. Three-level designs do not allow tall objects to be placed in it.

Using this option is not very convenient, which is why such models for the kitchen have not gained much popularity.

As an option, cargo is supplemented with sections for installing baking sheets or rods for towels.

A bottle holder with a towel holder is very popular due to its practicality.

Making your own bottle holders for the kitchen

If you decide to take the advice and make a bottle holder with your own hands, then we suggest using step-by-step instructions. From it you will learn how to make a box and install the cargo itself. Laminated chipboard will be used as the material for the bottle holder cabinet.

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.

Making a bottle holder with 2 tiers from chipboard

The starting material is the one from which the entire kitchen is made, for example, chipboards:

Parts of the required sizes for the trays and body are cut out.
The necessary elements are connected to each other.
Guides are attached to the walls of the box, which will be “rails” for the trays.
The height of the top tray is determined by the wishes of the hostess.
The blank sidewall acts as a rigid rack.

Chipboard can be replaced with plywood or wood. The main thing is that as a result you will have a spacious place in your kitchen to store your kitchen items.

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.

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.

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.

Cargo cabinet for the kitchen - advantages

What is cargo ? To put it simply, a cargo closet is a metal basket made of small diameter rods coated with chrome or special paint. The basket moves, as a rule, on rails, so that you can almost completely remove it from the cabinet in which it is installed. The principle of operation is very similar to a drawer in a kitchen set, but they differ in that when taking out cargo, we take out all its contents at the same time, and not individual sections, as is the case with drawers. This basket is sometimes equipped with high walls; this design allows you to store quite tall objects in it.

Article on the topic: How to design kitchen furniture

Basket boxes also have other benefits. This is a very functional solution when it comes to organizing narrow spaces where the use of regular drawers is ineffective because the narrow space of the cabinet makes it much more difficult to access the products stored in it if you use the version with static shelves.

Cargo kitchen fittings must be of high quality, especially in large drawers, only then will the system be durable.

Examples of using cargo

Sometimes it turns out that when designing a kitchen set, there is little space left for a narrow drawer, which is very convenient to use for storing bottles. This solution has its own charm, but not everyone likes open shelves that collect dust. The cargo system will ideally cope with this task.

One option is to install such a system in close proximity to the stove or sink; now this narrow space can be conveniently used to place bottles of household chemicals.

When it is near the stove, we can put oil, sauce bottles, sugar packs, flour, or other products that we often use while cooking.

Tall cargo cabinet

It comes in handy if you need more space for food or need to maximize space in a small kitchen. The system allows you to conveniently and efficiently place a variety of cooking utensils, products and kitchen utensils. Cargo of this size can be placed in tall cabinets or near the refrigerator built into the unit.

The advantage of this box is that it is equipped with convenient baskets that are accessible from all sides. However, if you want to make it into a home pantry, you need to use quality slides that can handle heavy loads.

Corner cargo closet

Corner baskets make especially good use of so-called blind corners. Corner cabinets are difficult to access because they only have one door, usually about 40cm wide, whereas the entire cabinet can be up to 90cm long. This is typically one of the roomiest niches in the kitchen, but its depth can present significant challenges when used. To get to the far corner, you have to partially climb inside, which is very inconvenient. Corner cargos are designed in such a way that they facilitate access to the insides of the kitchen cabinet.

Special systems designed for corner cabinets are more complex than traditional baskets, which results in their higher price. Such equipment usually consists of four shelves on casters. The design is made in such a way as to provide access to all content.

Cargo sizes

You can find a wide range of such baskets on sale.

narrow – designed for cabinets with a width of 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 cm;
wide – designed for kitchen cabinets 60 cm wide;
high – for installation in standard base cabinets up to 82 cm wide, from 120 to 140 cm in height, up to a maximum of 210 cm.

Advantages of cargo

increase the functionality of furniture,
increase comfort of use,
facilitating access to stored products,
practical use of narrow space in the kitchen.

Flaws

increase in furniture costs,
reduction of actual space inside cabinets.

Cargo, as an accessory for kitchen furniture, is one of the most interesting ways to make the overall use of kitchen units and work in the kitchen easier. On the market we can find a huge range of different designs and sizes from different manufacturers, which will allow you to choose the right option for any kitchen. Of course, we must take into account that such systems can raise the overall cost of furniture, but if the budget allows, it is worth installing them at least in the most important places - under or near the sink or stove. If you have a fairly large amount, then it’s worth equipping a corner or tall cabinet with this system, which will be used for the pantry. Such solutions are very useful and greatly facilitate work in the kitchen.

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.

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.

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 (

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.

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.

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.

Cargo for the kitchen is sold in the form of a basket, which is attached to the facade of the section.

Mounting features

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;
the cargo is assembled in accordance with the instructions;
A facade panel is installed at the end part, which serves as a door.

Bottle holder with soft closing mechanism

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:
according to the instructions, the trolley itself or the guides are fixed;
After the cargo is fixed, a facade panel is mounted on the front part.
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:

First, dismantle the section where the bottle holder will be installed;
The back and side walls are removed;
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;
The extreme points are marked on the wall. Next, the parallelism of the guides is checked;
Attachment points are outlined;
The guides are screwed in using self-tapping screws;
The cargo is secured, after which its performance is checked. If deficiencies are discovered, they should be eliminated immediately;
The wardrobe is being assembled.
