Stainless Steel Racking

Applications & Use Cases

• Storage of ingredients and finished products in food manufacturing facilities.
• Organisation of tools and equipment in hygiene-critical environments.
• Drying and cooling racks for baked goods or processed foods.
• Display shelving in cold rooms or retail food service areas.

Typical Specifications

Material

Typically 304-grade stainless steel for general food contact and hygiene, or 316-grade for enhanced corrosion resistance in harsher environments.

Shelf Configuration

Commonly features adjustable shelves to accommodate varying item heights, or fixed shelves for maximum stability.

Load Capacity

For this class of equipment, individual shelf load capacities typically range from 50 kg to 250 kg, depending on design and gauge of steel.

Construction Type

Units are commonly fully welded for strength and hygiene, or knock-down for easier transport and assembly.

Footprint

Available in a wide range of dimensions; buyers should verify the specific unit's width, depth, and height to ensure it fits their operational space.

Hygiene Features

Often designed with smooth surfaces, rounded corners, and minimal crevices to facilitate easy cleaning and prevent bacterial harborage.
