Commercial Dish Racks

A dishwasher rack is used to hold larger items like plates, bowls, trays and glassware in an organised layout for effective cleaning. It typically features open grids and structured sections to keep items in place. A dishwasher basket is designed for smaller items such as cutlery and utensils. These baskets often include dividers or mesh walls to prevent items from moving during the wash. Both are essential components in a commercial dishwasher setup, helping to ensure every item is cleaned thoroughly while remaining secure throughout high-temperature and high-pressure wash cycles.

Richmond offers a single rack size 500mm x 500mm designed to suit the majority of commercial dishwashers across the food service industry. This standard size ensures compatibility with most commercial machines and allows efficient stacking, water flow and easy handling in busy wash areas.

Two configurations are available:

• 25 Peg Rack – This option provides more space between each peg, ideal for larger plates, trays and bakeware. It allows thorough washing and faster drying for bulky items used in catering or bakery environments.
• 64 Peg Rack – With a tighter peg layout, this rack is designed for smaller plates, bowls and other compact items. It’s a practical choice for high-turnover cafés, restaurants or institutions needing to process a large volume of smaller dishware efficiently.
