It depends on three things you can control: the cabinet’s internal GN format (often GN 2/1 in Irish catering uprights), the number of shelf positions, and whether you’re using GN runners vs flat shelves vs wire baskets.
For a practical capacity check before you buy or reconfigure:
Pick your “working unit” (for example: one shelf level dedicated to GN pans).
Decide what each level holds: a single GN 2/1, two GN 1/1 side by side (if supported by runners), or a mixed set (1/1 plus 1/2, etc.).
Count usable levels, not total levels: leave at least one “buffer” level for bulky items, airflow clearance, or segregation (raw vs ready-to-eat).
