Chrome Racking

Chrome Racking provides strong, hygienic and flexible shelving for commercial kitchens, food storage areas, warehouses and retail back-of-house. These chrome-plated wire racks maximise vertical space while keeping stock visible and easy to access. With adjustable shelves and modular designs, they suit everything from dry goods and smallwares to heavier catering equipment. Ideal for restaurants, hotels, cafes and contract caterers, Chrome Racking helps keep your operation organised, efficient and professional.

• Heavy duty chrome wire racking units in multiple widths and heights to suit store rooms, fridges and preparation areas.
• Adjustable tiered shelving so you can customise shelf spacing for ingredients, GN pans, small appliances and cleaning supplies.
• Strong chrome-plated steel construction offering excellent load capacity and resistance to everyday wear.
• Compatible accessories such as spare clips to maintain stability and extend the life of your shelving.
• Open wire design that promotes airflow, reduces dust build-up and supports good food hygiene practice.
• Suitable for kitchens, cold rooms, dry stores, warehouses and retail stockrooms where space and organisation are critical.

How to choose the right Chrome Racking

• Measure your storage area carefully, checking ceiling height, doorways and walkways to choose racking dimensions that fit safely.
• Consider the weight of items you will store and select shelf sizes and load ratings that comfortably handle your busiest service periods.
• Decide on the number of tiers you need, allowing enough clearance for boxes, containers, gastronorm pans and small equipment.
• Think about airflow and hygiene requirements in dry stores, chill rooms or ambient areas when planning shelf spacing and layout.
• Plan your storage zones by category (food, disposables, cleaning products) so your racking layout supports an efficient workflow.
• Check compatibility with existing chrome racking and accessories if you are extending or reconfiguring your current storage.

Care and maintenance

• Clean shelves regularly with mild detergent and warm water, then dry thoroughly to protect the chrome finish.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the chrome-plated surface over time.
• Inspect clips, posts and shelves periodically for movement or wear and replace spare clips or components as needed.
• Do not overload shelves; always follow the manufacturer load ratings to prevent bending and maintain safety.
• Keep racking level and stable, adjusting feet where provided and avoiding uneven floors or makeshift supports.
• Reorganise stock routinely so heavier items remain on lower shelves and frequently used products are within easy reach.

Pair your shelving with our wider ranges of kitchen storage, gastronorm pans, food containers and trolleys to create a fully optimised back-of-house setup.
