I recently received a Shelf Reliance “Cansolidator”. The Cansolidator Pantry – the specific model that I received -  is a plastic food storage tool for storing cans of food.

Direct from Shelf Reliance’s website:

Featuring SmarTrac technology, the Cansolidator Pantry is a front loading system that automatically rotates up to 40 cans. This adjustable, expandable, stackable system takes the hassle out of can rotation and allows you to organize cans the way YOU want. The Cansolidator is easy to assemble and guarantees a more organized pantry in minutes. Sturdy, compact, and reliable, the Cansolidator Pantry is the perfect stand-alone solution for any pantry.


The Cansolidatorarrived and required assembly. The instructions were very helpful and I had it together in about 10 minutes. I have installed 3 sets of shelves in my computer room in an effort to expand food storage. I placed the newly assembled Cansolidator on one of those shelves. Honestly – I thought it looked pretty cool.

I went into the kitchen and retrieved some canned goods and started filling the chambers placing the oldest cans in first – so they would be the first to come out. They all rolled easily into place.

Here is a picture after I filled it partially:

As you can see it holds cans well and the top becomes an instant additional shelf. I plan to add additional units beside this one for more canned goods. Of note – the chambers for the cans can be customized for just about any size can as well as some jars. I store a lot of spaghetti and much of it is in cans – so that is one of the items that I will be filling the next Cansolidator with.

I work in the polymer industry – and whenever I run across something plastic I look at its structure and build. This has been built to be durable and sturdy. I see these lasting for years.

In summary – the Cansolidator does an excellent job of cleanly organizing canned food for easy access and  proper rotation.

I highly recommend it. It is available at Shelf Reliance directly as well as many Costco’s.

Take care all – Rourke
