What Is a Dunnage Rack?

A dunnage rack is a low, durable rack made of either plastic or aluminum that is an excellent way to store food and beverages inside storerooms or walk-in refrigerators and freezers.

Because most health-and-safety codes state that any food or beverage item should be kept at least six inches above the ground in storage areas or walk-in refrigerators, dunnage racks are a must for any restaurant, bar, or food-service establishment where wholesale goods are stored and kept for long-term use. Dunnage shelving ensures that your store's foodstuffs, beverages, and ingredients are kept fresh and clean at all times.

Aluminum dunnage racks and plastic dunnage racks are both durable and rust-free, so these two are the most popular dunnage racks used by restaurants and food-service establishments. Dunnage shelving is mostly ideal for heavy items like crates of food or ingredients, drums and tubs of processed food, and sacks of flour or rice.

Because it is both difficult and hazardous to place heavy items on relatively high shelves, a dunnage shelf is an excellent and sanitary alternative to simply putting boxes or crates directly on the floor. A dunnage rack usually stands between six to twelve inches high and can handle up to a couple of thousand pounds of weight at one time, depending on the type of dunnage shelf you are using. One good thing to remember, though, is to instruct your staff to follow the proper way of lifting heavy weights—which is to make sure that they bend their knees, using their legs—instead of simply bending over to pick up a sack or crate for instance, which could result in painful back injuries.

Advantages of Dunnage Racks

A big advantage of using a dunnage rack is that it provides an additional storage area that allows you to store heavy and bulky items such as canned food and sacks of flour, sugar, rice, or corn kernels. Because of great-quality dunnage shelving, products can stay safely off the floor while taking up little space inside your walk-in cooler, freezer, refrigerator or inside your storeroom or kitchen.

Both aluminum dunnage racks and plastic dunnage racks make for easy rearranging and cleaning of the interior of your walk-in fridge and storeroom. These dunnage racks are also guaranteed durable and are a simple and cheap solution for storing your goods in dry and cool areas.
