Storage racks come in handy for commercial as well as residential purposes. Any food supplies, cans, and pans that are not designed to be housed in ingredient bins need to be stored somewhere. Storage racks provide this place and they come in various shapes, sizes, and styles. Owners of bakeries, restaurants, and cafeterias find food service storage racks essential to operations.
Bun pan racks can hold multiple full or half size pans and include casters for a smooth ride. End load styles allow pans to be loaded from the front or back, while side load versions enable loading from the side. These racks come in both full or half heights, each featuring a sturdy, reinforced design. Slant racks are similar but are often used for merchandising pastries or loaves of bread.
Pot racks can be mounted to the wall or ceiling and feature multiple hooks from which pots and pans can be hung. The most frequently used kitchen utensils can also be hung from these hooks. Typical racks include either 12 or 18 hooks and a series of racks can be hung on the wall or from the ceiling near the cooking stations in the kitchen.
Lug racks are designed to hold and transport lug bins that hold food, silverware, and plates. Lugs are also used as receptacles to transport dirty dishes after a catering event. Hotels frequently utilize these in their restaurant operations and the housekeeping staff often uses them to hold toiletries supplied to guest rooms.
Food service establishments with limited shelf space often purchase dunnage racks to create an additional storage area. These are excellent for storing large, bulky items like canned goods and bulk flour or sugar. They keep items off the floor or create additional space within a freezer or refrigerator. These food service storage racks come in bowtie, heavy duty, and mobile styles designed to meet the specific needs of the establishment.
