Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Food Industry & Production Racking | Food Shelving

What makes food industry racking suitable for kitchens and cold storage?

Our food storage racking is made from galvanised or stainless steel, with open wire shelves that support air circulation. This helps maintain food safety standards and prevents moisture build-up in chilled environments.

Can I use your food storage racks in commercial kitchens or prep areas?

Yes, AJ Products UK’s food shelving is ideal for catering spaces, prep rooms and walk-in fridges. It’s easy to wipe down, corrosion-resistant and built for daily use in hygiene-sensitive settings.

Do the shelves on your food storage racking adjust to fit different products?

Most of our food storage racks feature adjustable shelves, so you can store everything from bulk ingredients to food containers with maximum flexibility.


Is this racking compliant with food safety regulations?

Our food storage racking is designed to support good hygiene practice. Smooth surfaces, ventilation gaps and non-toxic finishes help businesses stay aligned with HACCP and general food safety requirements.

Food industry racking that meets hygiene standards and adapts to changing kitchen needs

In the food industry, racking isn't just about storage — it's about maintaining hygiene, supporting workflow, and meeting strict compliance requirements. AJ Products UK supplies food industry racking designed for commercial kitchens, prep areas, cold stores and retail backrooms. From modular shelving to specialist food-safe racks, our systems help food businesses organise stock, reduce contamination risk and optimise their space for maximum efficiency.

Food storage racking that improves hygiene, airflow and visibility

Unlike conventional shelving, our food storage racking is purpose-built for chilled and dry storage areas. Open wire or slatted shelves promote airflow, which helps maintain food freshness and prevents moisture build-up in cold stores. Stainless steel and zinc-coated finishes are easy to clean and resistant to corrosion — ideal for walk-in freezers, restaurant back-of-house areas and food-safe zones. For hygienic layout planning, many kitchens also install stainless steel tables alongside racking to streamline prep and cleaning workflows.

Modular food shelving systems for kitchens, cafés and catering operations

Fast-paced kitchens can’t afford inflexible storage. Our modular food shelving systems are designed to be reconfigured as stock levels shift or operational needs evolve—making them a smart choice for restaurants, school canteens, and catering services. Adjustable shelf heights accommodate crates, bulk ingredients or cookware, while perforated shelf designs reduce dust build-up and support sanitation. Many customers pair these shelves with shelf trolleys to keep essential tools or ingredients mobile between prep zones and cold storage.

Food racks for bulk packaging and dry goods in high-capacity storage areas

When storing heavier stock like flour sacks, sealed packaging or catering equipment, food racks with reinforced frames deliver the strength you need. Our heavy-duty food storage racks are built for high loads while maintaining food-safe finishes that won’t flake, corrode or contaminate contents. These systems are ideal for warehouse-style kitchens, back-of-house operations and storage rooms dealing with frequent turnover of bulk inventory. To enhance access to smaller goods or high-demand items, many teams complement their setup with shelving systems for top-up stock or packaged ingredients.

Food production racking that supports hygiene compliance in cold stores and prep rooms

Our food production racking is trusted by bakeries, packaging facilities, and commercial kitchens alike for its ease of cleaning and compliance-ready design. Galvanised or plastic-coated racks stand up to low temperatures — some down to -30°C — making them suitable for cold storage. Perforated shelves allow liquid drainage and prevent dust build-up, while removable shelf inserts simplify deep cleaning. For retail environments, we also supply angled wire display racks with front-edge lips to securely present sealed foodstuffs in a hygienic and accessible format.
