Product Description
Dunnage racks are low-profile floor-standing storage platforms designed to lift dry goods, bulk ingredients, and packaged product off the kitchen floor. EAIS manufacture these in galvanised steel with a solid deck surface, making them a practical choice for dry stores, walk-in areas, and back-of-house storage where raised storage is a hygiene and compliance requirement.
In working kitchens, dunnage racks earn their place by keeping stock off cold, damp floors and allowing air to circulate beneath and around stored goods. The solid deck surface means nothing falls through, which suits bagged or loose product that would shift or spill on an open wire shelf. The three-sided stability frame keeps the rack from racking or distorting under load, which matters when heavy sacks are being placed and removed at pace during a busy goods-in period.
Practical advantages operators typically value:
- Raised storage supports airflow and reduces contact with floor-level moisture
- Solid galvanised deck suits bagged dry goods, boxes, and bulk containers
- Low-profile height fits neatly beneath shelving runs or standalone in a dry store
- Galvanised finish resists corrosion in humid storage environments
- Three-sided frame maintains structural integrity under repeated heavy loading
These racks require no installation beyond placing on a level floor surface. They are passive storage, so there are no electrical, gas, or water connections to consider. Bear in mind that solid deck dunnage racks are primarily suited to dry storage — they are not designed for refrigerated or wet areas where open-wire designs are typically preferred for drainage. Consider your available floor area carefully, as dunnage racks are wide-footprint items and multiple units placed together should still allow adequate aisle clearance for safe manual handling.
Well suited to catering operations with a dedicated dry store — hotels, contract caterers, school kitchens, care homes, and any site handling regular bulk deliveries. For operations requiring elevated mid-height or full-height shelving rather than floor-level raised storage, open wire or solid shelving systems may be more appropriate.
If you are specifying storage for a new or refurbished kitchen and want to talk through what combination of shelving and dunnage racking works best for your space, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Solid deck dunnage racks are primarily intended for dry storage environments. In refrigerated rooms or areas with drainage requirements, open-wire shelving units are generally more appropriate as they allow air circulation and drainage around stored product. If you are unsure which type suits your specific storage area, it is worth discussing the environment before ordering.
- Dunnage racks have a wide footprint, so adequate aisle clearance around each rack is important for safe manual handling, particularly when receiving bulk deliveries. A minimum clear aisle of 900mm is a reasonable working guide, though your specific layout and the size of goods being handled may require more. Planning the arrangement before purchasing multiple units helps avoid a congested store.
- Yes, the low-profile height of these racks makes them well suited to positioning beneath fixed wall or freestanding shelving, effectively adding an extra tier of floor-level storage within an existing setup. Confirm the clearance between your lowest shelf and the floor before ordering to ensure the rack height is compatible with your current installation.
