Is a powder coated dunnage rack suitable for use in a walk-in fridge or cold room?

Powder coating is well suited to dry and ambient conditions but is not the most durable option in refrigerated or consistently damp environments. For cold rooms or areas subject to regular wet cleaning, a stainless steel dunnage rack is generally the more practical long-term choice.

Does this rack need to be fixed to the floor or wall to be stable?

No fixing is required. The three-sided welded frame is designed to be free-standing and provides sufficient rigidity under load when placed on a level floor, which also makes it easy to reposition when you need to clean underneath or reorganise the storeroom.

What types of goods is a solid deck dunnage rack best suited to storing?

The solid deck is particularly practical for sacked ingredients, large containers, and irregularly packaged stock that might shift or fall through a louvred or wire deck. It also works well for boxed goods where a continuous surface provides better support than a slatted alternative.

Product Description

A dunnage rack is a low-level, free-standing platform designed to lift dry goods, boxed stock, sacked ingredients, and bulk supplies clear of the floor. The EAIS version is built on a welded steel frame with a powder coated finish and a solid deck surface — meaning there are no gaps for smaller items or loose packaging to fall through, which makes it particularly practical for sacked goods, large containers, and irregularly shaped stock.

In day-to-day back-of-house use, keeping floor-level storage compliant is straightforward in principle but easy to overlook under pressure. Raising stock off the ground allows cleaning equipment to pass underneath freely, supports pest control measures, and keeps goods clear of standing water from spillages or drain overflow. The three-sided welded frame keeps the unit rigid under load without needing to be fixed to a wall or floor.

Practical operational benefits include:

Solid deck supports sacked goods and irregular packaging without items shifting or falling through
Powder coated finish provides reliable durability in dry and ambient storage conditions
Three-sided frame gives free-standing stability with no wall fixing required
Low-profile design keeps stored goods accessible without awkward reaching or steps
Simple welded construction with no moving parts — minimal maintenance required

These racks need no installation beyond placing them on a level floor. They are well suited to dry stores, ambient storerooms, and general back-of-house areas. It is worth noting that powder coating is suited to dry and ambient conditions; in refrigerated environments or areas subject to regular wet cleaning, a stainless steel dunnage rack is likely to be a more durable long-term option.

A sensible choice for independent kitchens, cafés, pubs, and takeaways needing cost-effective, compliant floor-level storage. Operators fitting out a full dry store may find it worth pairing dunnage racks at floor level with open shelving units above to make full use of the available height.

If you are working out the best layout for a storeroom or need to compare sizes, the team is glad to have a look with you.
