Can Racks Pricing and Costs

Price out canned food storage rack products

Restaurateurs know that a well-designed kitchen is essential to speedy service and lack of waste, which is why it's important to check out can racks pricing and costs. Can racks should be part of every dry goods storage area in a commercial kitchen. Not only will several racks make the kitchen more efficient, when placed in appropriate locations for each production area, but they can also reduce the number of spoiled goods forgotten on a back shelf.
When shopping for a can storage rack, there are three main types to choose from. Think carefully about how you'll use the racks. For example, will mobile or stationary racks be most useful to you? What size cans will you primarily store in them? And how much in the way of canned goods does your restaurant typically use? Then, consider which of the following best fits the bill:
1. Stationary canned food racks for sturdy storage
2. Wheeled can goods storage for mobility
3. Storage can racks that encourage the use of the oldest cans first

 

Select stationary food storage can rack products

Stationary can rack shelf products are suitable for most commercial kitchens and typically hold about 162 #10 cans or 216 #5 cans. Most are made of heavy-duty aluminum for years of service. A full rack, standing about 71 inches high, generally sells for between $360 to $500. A full rack with a flat aluminum top goes for around $400 to $500.
Try: Restaurant Equipment World sells both stationary and mobile full can racks. Mission Restaurant Supply also offers heavy-duty aluminum can racks.

Choose wheeled food can storage rack products

Can rack food storage units on wheels are useful whenever you need to move products safely. They are often found in kitchens with smaller storage areas. As with stationary racks, they are almost always made of heavy-duty aluminum. Half racks, holding about 72 #10 cans or 96 #5 cans, generally sell for about $450 to $550 and full racks are usually $600 to $750.
Try: Central Restaurant Products sells full and half racks on wheels. KATOM Restaurant Supply sells a variety of can racks, including those that are mobile.

Consider roll-down can storage rack products

First in, first out (FIFO) can goods rack products help you rotate your supply in the easiest manner possible. FIFO racks allow you to load cans on one shelf and have them roll down to the next shelf, near the front, encouraging employees to use the oldest cans first. Sometimes these can racks also called "gravity fed" racks. A full FIFO can rack sells between $400 and $1,000, generally.
Try: Cook's Direct sells FIFO can food storage racks made of long-lasting aluminum, as does Ace Mart Restaurant Supply.
