A dunnage rack is a low-level storage platform designed to keep bulk goods raised off the floor in storerooms, dry stores, and walk-in refrigeration. The EAIS chrome wire dunnage rack is a straightforward, practical piece of kit that addresses one of the most basic requirements in any food business — keeping stock off direct floor contact to satisfy food hygiene regulations and maintain a cleanable environment.The chrome wire construction keeps the rack light enough to reposition as your storage layout demands, while the open wire design allows air to circulate freely beneath stored goods. In refrigerated environments this is particularly relevant, as unobstructed airflow under bulk stock supports more consistent temperature distribution throughout the cold room. The stability frame prevents racking or shifting under load, which matters when staff are moving quickly during a delivery or a busy service period.In day-to-day use, operators find these racks useful for: Maintaining required floor clearance in line with food hygiene guidance Improving airflow beneath bulk stock in refrigerated and ambient storage Making it easier to sweep and mop beneath stored goods Providing a stable platform for heavy crates, sacks, and cases Organising high-volume storage areas without the need for fixed installation No installation is required — the rack is freestanding and can be repositioned as your storage needs change. There are no electrical, water, or gas connections involved, and no fixings to the floor or walls. It is worth checking the load rating against your typical delivery weights before purchasing, particularly if you regularly receive heavy palletised goods.This type of rack suits operations that receive regular bulk deliveries and need a compliant, flexible storage solution at floor level — pub kitchens, school kitchens, contract catering sites, and similar environments where stock rotation is part of the daily routine. For sites requiring full-height storage or significantly heavier load capacity, multi-tier racking or wall-mounted shelving may be a better fit.If you are fitting out a storeroom and want to talk through the right combination of dunnage and shelving for your layout, our team is happy to help you get it right.
