Restaurant Shelving and Storage Solutions
Bakery Racks
Because most baked goods don’t go to the table straight from the oven, bakery racks are a great solution for storing foods that don’t need to be kept at a particular temperature.
Transport Racks
Transport racks are handy in making batch deliveries of baked goods and other food items. They are able to safely store goods while being transported from the kitchen to grocery stores, event receptions, coffee shops, and other restaurants.
Material Handling Equipment
Material handling equipment was designed for delicate food items such as microgreens and fresh herbs. These are commercial kitchen shelves that are modified to protect sensitive food and ingredients from harsh kitchen conditions (like heat and humidity).
Wall Mount Shelving
This type of shelving is ideal for creating storage space over prep tables and other work areas and will allow you to keep ingredient canisters, spices, and other important tools organized all while maximizing your space.
Solid Shelves
With solid shelves, you can store any size or type of item on them without the risk of it slipping through the rails or spilling onto the items below it. They are best for dry storage.
Vented Shelves
Vented shelves promote air circulation for maximum product shelf life and offer greater visibility when trying to identify what items you have in inventory.
Secured Shelving
Secured shelves ensure that the valuables of your kitchen personnel are stored in one safe location.
