Where are dunnage racks most commonly used in a commercial kitchen?

Dunnage racks are typically used in dry stores, walk-in larders, and back-of-house storage areas where bulk goods, bagged produce, or large containers are stored at floor level. They are particularly useful anywhere regular mopping or wash-down takes place, as the raised profile keeps stock clear of water and makes cleaning beneath the rack straightforward.

How do I choose the right size dunnage rack for my storage area?

The right size depends on the footprint of your storage space and the type of stock you are holding. It is worth mapping out your layout before ordering, particularly if racks will be placed side by side or against a wall, as the three-sided frame design is intended to work in those configurations. If you are unsure, the team can help you work through the options based on your space.

Are these racks suitable for heavier loads such as bulk catering tins or large containers?

These racks are well suited to the loads typical in a small or medium catering operation — dry goods, bagged produce, and standard bulk containers. For sites handling consistently heavier or industrial-scale loads, it is worth discussing whether a more heavy-duty shelving system would be a better long-term fit for your requirements.

Product Description

Dunnage racks are a practical and often overlooked piece of back-of-house kit. They sit low to the ground and keep dry goods, bulk containers, and bagged produce elevated off the floor — satisfying hygiene requirements and making it straightforward to clean beneath stored stock. EAIS produce these racks in nylon-coated wire construction, which resists moisture and wipes down considerably more easily than bare metal alternatives.

In day-to-day use, dunnage racks tend to live in dry stores, walk-in larders, or general back-of-house storage areas. The nylon wire construction holds up well under the repetitive loading and cleaning cycles that come with a busy kitchen, and the raised profile prevents water and debris accumulating beneath stock during routine mopping or wash-down. The three-sided stability frame is a practical design detail — it resists lateral movement under load, which matters when racks are positioned against a wall or placed in close formation.

Nylon coating resists moisture and cleans down quickly
Raised profile supports compliance with floor hygiene requirements
Three-sided frame maintains stability under load
Available in multiple sizes to suit different storage layouts
Suited to dry stores, larders, and back-of-house areas

These racks are well suited to small and medium catering operations, care homes, school kitchens, and similar sites where organised, hygienic floor-level storage is a day-to-day need. For sites with significantly heavier load requirements or larger distribution environments, it is worth considering whether a more heavy-duty shelving solution would be more appropriate.

If you are working out which size or configuration fits your storage layout, the team is glad to help you think it through before you order.
