Designline Stainless Steel Perforated Shelving Rack

Name: Designline Stainless Steel Perforated Shelving Rack
Brand: Designline
SKU: DL-RP

These stainless steel shelving racks from Designline are a practical storage solution commonly used in commercial kitchens, preparation areas, storerooms, and back-of-house spaces where organised, accessible storage is a day-to-day requirement. The perforated shelf surface allows air to circulate around stored items, which helps keep dry goods, packaging, and equipment in better condition than solid-surface alternatives where airflow is restricted.

In a working kitchen environment, good storage discipline directly supports service efficiency. These racks help operators keep ingredients, equipment, and consumables organised and accessible, reducing the time staff spend searching for items during busy periods. The adjustable flanged feet allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floor surfaces and secured to a finished floor, which is important in environments where rack stability and hygiene compliance are both considerations.

The perforated stainless steel construction offers some practical advantages worth noting:

Perforated surface promotes airflow, reducing moisture build-up around stored items
Stainless steel resists corrosion in humid kitchen environments
Adjustable feet accommodate uneven floors and allow the unit to be fixed in position
Open shelf design makes cleaning and inspection straightforward
Suitable for dry ambient storage across a range of back-of-house applications

These racks are best suited to kitchens where ventilated storage is preferred over solid shelving — particularly where goods need airflow or where hygiene inspectors expect surfaces that can be easily cleaned around. They are not designed for refrigerated or heated environments. For sites requiring heavier load capacities or additional shelf tiers, higher-specification racking options may be more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a storage area and want to discuss the right configuration or quantity for your space, the team is happy to help you plan it through properly before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the perforated version better than solid shelving for kitchen storage?

It depends on what you are storing. Perforated shelving is generally preferred where airflow matters — dry goods, packaging, or equipment that benefits from ventilation. Solid shelving tends to suit heavier items or situations where spillage containment is more of a priority. If you are unsure which suits your storage setup, it is worth talking through the application before ordering.

Can these racks be fixed to the floor, and is that required?

The adjustable flanged feet are designed to allow the unit to be secured to a finished floor surface, which is advisable in most commercial kitchen environments for both stability and compliance with health and safety expectations. Whether fixing is mandatory will depend on your local authority and the specifics of your kitchen layout.

Are these racks suitable for use in refrigerated or heated storage areas?

These units are intended for ambient dry storage use. They are not designed for refrigerated environments or areas subject to significant heat exposure. If you need shelving within a coldroom or near cooking equipment, a purpose-specified racking solution would be more appropriate.
