Everything You Need to Know About Storage and Transport
Shelving
Ample shelving will help you to make the most of your available space by facilitating vertical storage. Most shelving units are customizable, so you can arrange them for optimal utilization and exactly what you’re trying to store, so no square inch goes wasted. Material is a major consideration: chrome is a basic finish, but may rust in damp environments. Epoxy-coated and/or heavy-duty plastic shelving can prevent this outcome. Browse Metro or Centaur brands for wire shelving, and Cambro for plastic options.
Pan Racks
Sheet pans and steam table pans are the lifeline of a commercial kitchen, and storing/transporting them on quality racks is equally vital. There are many options when it comes to these racks, including where you load the pans (front, side, back), how many pans it holds, the sizing of the rack, as well as the construction of the rack itself.
Dunnage Racks
We can’t tell you how many chefs get dinged by health inspectors because they are missing dunnage racks. Don’t forget to keep some on hand to ensure your consumables stay off the floor and away from dirt, bugs, and pests.
Carts
Don’t let transport be an afterthought in your kitchen. We carry a variety of carts, including front-of-house friendly catering carts, back of house utility carts, bussing carts, dishrack dollies, and so much more!
Food Warming and Holding
Food warming and heating units are a life-saver if you’re catering, prepping, or transporting meals. Some need to be plugged in, others are simply insulated to keep heat in. Sam Tell also carries transport bags perfect for the growing demand in delivery food. If you work with Doordash, UberEats, Grubhub, Postmates, etc. these bags will ensure your dishes stay warm as they travel.
