Hotels, restaurants and catering businesses need reliable storage and transport systems that can handle the demands of commercial food service. HoReCa shelving and trolleys form the backbone of efficient kitchen operations, enabling smooth workflow processes and safe food handling practices.
At RackZone, we supply robust shelving units and service trolleys designed specifically for the hospitality sector. Our systems meet the strict hygiene standards required in food manufacturing and service environments, helping you maintain operational efficiency throughout busy service periods.
What storage solutions do professional kitchens need?
Commercial kitchen shelving differs significantly from standard storage solutions. Professional units feature stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and cleaning chemicals. Stainless steel wire shelving provides excellent ventilation around stored items, preventing moisture buildup that could compromise food safety.
Catering shelving units accommodate standard gastronorm containers and support heavy loads without bending or warping. Many units include shelves in polypropylene that provide chemical resistance and easy cleaning. These plastic shelves work well where you need to avoid metal contact with certain foods.
Kitchen storage racks use modular designs that allow you to configure systems according to your specific space requirements. Aluminium brackets provide strong connections between components, creating stable structures for demanding environments.
How do service trolleys improve operations?
Service trolleys streamline the transport of dishes, equipment and ingredients between kitchen areas and dining spaces. These mobile units reduce staff walking time and minimise accident risks during busy periods.
A typical Service Food Trolley features multiple levels for organised storage and smooth rolling castors. The dimensions suitable for most commercial kitchens range from compact units at 112 cm length to larger models measuring 136 x 47 cm for increased capacity.
Product variants include heated trolleys for maintaining food temperature, clearing trolleys for efficient table service, and specialised units for specific tasks.
Why choose industrial-grade storage systems?
Industrial storage racks with heavy-duty construction ensure reliable performance under constant commercial use. These systems must withstand frequent cleaning with harsh chemicals and maintain hygiene standards required by health regulations.
Catering shelving systems feature reinforced construction and food-grade materials that comply with regulations. The tough specifications ensure these units perform reliably even under heavy daily use in demanding environments.
Industrial kitchen shelving typically offers higher load capacities than standard units. Trolley 2 and Trolley 4 tier configurations provide flexibility for different storage needs, handling large volumes of dishes and equipment to reduce trips during service periods.
How can professional storage improve food safety?
Proper storage systems play a crucial role in maintaining food safety standards. Elevated storage keeps products off floors, reducing contamination risks and making cleaning easier. Ventilated designs prevent moisture buildup that could encourage bacterial growth.
Stainless steel surfaces resist bacteria and clean easily with standard sanitising solutions. The smooth finish prevents food particles from adhering to surfaces, supporting HACCP compliance requirements in commercial operations.
Mobile trolleys enable you to move food quickly between temperature-controlled areas, reducing time spent in the danger zone. This helps maintain the cold chain for perishable ingredients and prepared foods throughout your operation.
Storage systems also support inventory management by clearly organising ingredients and supplies. This reduces waste through better stock rotation and helps maintain consistent food quality standards across all service periods.
