Dunnage Racks

Dunnage Racks | New Age Aluminum, Metro Bow Tie Polymer, and Metro Wire

Dunnage racks elevate products off the floor to protect against moisture, improve airflow, simplify cleaning, and support compliance in food service, cooler, freezer, and warehouse environments. Three material types are available: aluminum, polymer, and wire, each suited to different environmental conditions and application requirements.

New Age Industrial aluminum dunnage racks are available in three configurations: standard, economy, and a mobile version with a handle for repositioning. Metro dunnage options include the bow-tie polymer rack and wire-shelf dunnage in both stationary and mobile configurations.


Navigating This Category:

♦ New Age Aluminum Dunnage Rack (standard), heavy-duty aluminum construction for coolers, freezers, food service kitchens, and warehouse floor storage. Corrosion-resistant and suited to wet or cold environments.

♦ New Age Aluminum Dunnage Rack (4000 series), alternate aluminum configuration. Call 866-333-0728 or visit the product page to confirm specific size, capacity, and feature differences from the standard series.

♦ New Age Economy Aluminum Dunnage Rack, a lower-cost aluminum option for applications where the full-duty standard rack exceeds the requirement. Suited to lighter loads or supplemental floor storage positions.

♦ New Age Aluminum Dunnage Rack with Handle: mobile aluminum dunnage rack with a handle for manual repositioning. Suited for applications where the rack needs to be moved for cleaning, restocking, or repositioning without a cart or lift.

♦ Metro Bow Tie Polymer Dunnage Rack: polymer construction with bow-tie legs for stability. Rust-proof and suited to wet, high-sanitation, and food service environments. Metro polymer units with Microban antimicrobial protection inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on contact surfaces.

♦ Metro Wire Shelf Dunnage Rack (stationary), open wire construction for maximum airflow and visibility. Suited to walk-in refrigerators, stockrooms, and any application where airflow around stored product is important.

♦ Metro Wire Shelf Dunnage Rack (mobile), same wire shelf construction as the stationary version, on casters for repositioning. Suited for coolers and prep areas where the rack is moved between storage and use positions.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Walk-In Coolers and Freezers, commercial food service and food distribution operations use dunnage racks in walk-in coolers and freezers to keep product off the floor, away from pooled condensation and cleaning water, and compliant with food safety regulations requiring elevated product storage.

♦ Food Service Kitchens and Prep Areas: Commercial kitchens use dunnage racks for floor-level ingredient storage, keeping bulk bags, cases, and containers elevated and accessible while maintaining a cleanable floor surface underneath.

♦ Warehouse and Distribution Floor Storage: warehouse receiving and staging areas use dunnage racks to temporarily elevate bulk product during receiving, staging, and sorting operations, keeping product off concrete floors where moisture and contamination pose risks.

♦ Retail Stockrooms and Back-of-House Areas: Retail stockrooms use dunnage racks for low-level overflow storage of boxed goods, case quantities, and heavy items that do not fit on standard shelving but need to be kept off the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a dunnage rack?
A dunnage rack is a low platform that elevates product off the floor, keeping it away from pooled water, condensation, and cleaning chemicals while allowing air to circulate underneath. Because the floor stays clear, staff can sweep, mop, and sanitize beneath stored goods without moving them. CustomMHS is an authorized distributor of New Age Industrial and Metro dunnage racks, and all purchases include the manufacturer's factory warranty.
What materials are dunnage racks made from?
Three materials cover the range of environments. Aluminum resists corrosion and handles the heaviest loads, which suits coolers, freezers, and warehouse floor storage. Polymer is rust-proof and works well in wet, sanitation-critical areas, and Metro polymer units with Microban antimicrobial protection inhibit bacteria, mold, and mildew growth on contact surfaces. Wire construction maximizes airflow and visibility, making it a good match for walk-in refrigerators and stockrooms.
What weight capacities are available?
Capacity varies widely across the line, so it is worth matching the rack to the load rather than assuming they are interchangeable. The New Age 4000 Series aluminum rack handles up to 5,000 pounds and the 2000 Series up to 4,000 pounds. The Metro Bow Tie polymer rack is rated up to 3,000 pounds, the New Age Economy aluminum rack up to 2,000 pounds, and the Metro wire shelf rack up to 1,600 pounds. Mobile units carry less, with the Metro mobile wire rack rated up to 800 pounds and the New Age mobile aluminum rack with handle up to 1,000 pounds.
When should I choose a mobile dunnage rack?
Choose a mobile rack when the unit has to move regularly for deep cleaning, restocking, or repositioning between storage and prep areas. The tradeoff is capacity: casters and a handle reduce the load rating substantially compared with a stationary rack of the same material. If the rack will hold heavy bulk product and stay in one position, a stationary aluminum or polymer unit gives more capacity for the same footprint.
How do dunnage racks help your facility?
In food service and food distribution, elevated storage supports compliance with food safety rules that require product to be kept off the floor, and it keeps cases and bulk bags out of condensation and cleaning water in walk-in coolers and freezers. Sanitation gets easier because staff can clean the floor underneath without unstacking product, which removes a common reason cleaning gets skipped. In warehouse receiving and staging areas, dunnage racks protect bulk product from moisture on concrete floors during sorting and staging. Retail stockrooms use them for heavy or oversized overflow that does not fit standard shelving but still needs to stay off the floor.
