Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bakery trolleys and racks does Richmond supply?
The core range includes stainless steel bakery and ingredient racks for staging and storage, plus portable bakery trolleys that pair with 16″ and 18″ trays for production throughput. Systems are designed for baking, cooling and general handling, with frames optimised for hygienic, high-use environments. Matching aluminium baking trays (3- or 4-sided, non-stick options) and cooling racks round out the category so you can standardise across prep, oven and cooling stages.
Which tray sizes and shelf counts are available?
Richmond supports common industry formats: racks to suit 16″ and 18″ trays, offered in popular shelf counts including 9, 12, 15 and 18 shelf configurations. Trays are available in aluminium (3- or 4-sided) with options like PTFE non-stick coatings for easy release and stacking efficiency. This lets you match capacity to batch sizes without changing handling practices across the line.
What makes the frames durable and easy to service?
Frames feature food-grade 304 stainless steel construction with clean welds for hygiene and long service life. A Z-base nesting design helps save valuable floor space when racks are not in use. All bakery racks are supplied with glass-filled nylon wheels as standard, providing strength, smooth rolling and resistance to high use. Bolt-on interchangeable castors make servicing straightforward, allowing wheels to be swapped without cutting or grinding. These design details reduce downtime and keep equipment compliant and ready for daily production.
Do you offer oven-ready or temperature-resistant wheel options?
Yes. Richmond’s high and low temperature castors are designed for environments ranging from −30 °C to +280 °C, suitable for ovens, chillers and smokehouses. All bakery racks are supplied with glass-filled nylon wheels as standard, giving excellent strength, durability and ease of movement. Alternative wheel options include polymer, epoxy resin or silicone-tyred designs, paired with stainless or zinc-plated frames. Sealed precision bearings with high-temperature grease are also available, ensuring smooth and quiet operation in food production areas.
Can bakery racks be customised for specific production setups?
Yes. Richmond can provide custom bakery rack configurations to suit specific production requirements, including frame size, shelf spacing, and castor selection. This is useful for operations with non-standard tray sizes, limited space, or specific handling requirements. Custom racks are designed and manufactured by our in-house engineering team to ensure reliable performance in food production environments.
Are bakery racks easy to clean and maintain in food environments?
Bakery racks are designed with hygiene and maintenance in mind. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and supports wash-down procedures, while smooth surfaces and clean welds help prevent buildup of residue. Removable or bolt-on components, including castors, allow for straightforward servicing and replacement, keeping equipment operational and compliant in high-use bakery settings.

Product Types by Application
Stainless Steel Baking Racks
Stainless steel baking racks are designed for storing and moving trays, pans and baked goods through food production areas. Richmond’s racks use thicker grade 304 stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance and cleanability in hygiene-sensitive environments.
These racks are suited to commercial bakeries, patisseries, catering kitchens and food manufacturing plants where equipment is regularly washed down or exposed to moisture, heat and constant handling. They integrate with stainless steel trolleys for full handling workflows.
Ingredient Racks
Ingredient racks provide organised staging for bakery ingredients, dough and prepared products during production. They help maintain workflow between mixing, proving, baking, cooling and packing areas.
These racks are used in commercial kitchens, bakery production lines and food preparation facilities where reliable storage and controlled movement are required throughout the shift, often alongside kitchen trolleys and prep equipment.
Bakery Tray Racks
Bakery tray racks are built to suit common 16″ and 18″ tray formats, including 9, 12, 15 and 18 shelf configurations. Compatible tray standards help reduce mix-ups and ensure racks, ovens and coolers interface correctly.
These racks support consistent oven loading, airflow during cooling and organised staging across commercial bakery operations with multiple shifts or production zones, working alongside high temperature castors in oven areas.
Bread Crate Dollies
Bread crate dollies are designed to transport large volumes of bakery crates between baking, cooling, dispatch, and delivery areas. Configurations can support multiple crate stacks, including side-by-side layouts for efficient handling.
These dollies are widely used in bakeries, retail distribution, and food logistics environments where reliable, purpose-built trolleys are required to move crate loads safely and efficiently.
Specialty Product Options
304 Stainless Steel Construction
Richmond bakery racks are manufactured from 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability and hygiene control. Welded construction supports long service life in demanding food production environments.
This material is well suited to washdown areas, humid bakery spaces, cool rooms and commercial kitchens where cleanability and structural strength are required, often paired with stainless steel castors.
Aluminium Bakery Trays
Richmond supplies matching aluminium bakery trays in common 16″ and 18″ formats. Options include 3-sided and 4-sided trays to balance fast access, spill control and stackability.
Food-grade PTFE non-stick coating options support quick release and easier clean-down, helping improve efficiency across baking, cooling and preparation tasks within integrated handling workflows.
Bolt-On Castor Interfaces
Bolt-on castor interfaces make wheel selection and maintenance straightforward. Instead of welded castors, Richmond racks can use interchangeable bolt-on designs for quick wheel replacement when required.
This helps reduce downtime, support hygiene and allow racks to be adapted for different bakery zones, floor types and operating conditions using compatible industrial castors and stainless steel options.
High & Low Temperature Castors
Richmond offers bakery castors for low-to-high temperature applications, including glass-filled nylon, polymer, silicone-tyred and epoxy resin wheels. Options are available for hot and cold production zones.
Wheel compounds can be selected to suit oven exposure, washdown routines, blast freezers, cool rooms and floor surfaces, helping reduce rolling resistance and extend service life. Explore suitable high & low temperature castors.
