Storage & Transport

It covers every product that holds, organises or moves food and equipment through a commercial kitchen, coolroom or catering operation. That includes fixed shelving, mobile trolleys, insulated delivery boxes, bulk ingredient bins, dunnage racks and the clips, dividers and accessories that tie those systems together. Think of it as the backbone that keeps your kitchen ordered from dry store to pass.

You'll find six subcategories here: Commercial Shelving for fixed and adjustable racking, Trolleys, Carts & Mobile Racks for moving product around the kitchen, Insulated Food Transport for hot and cold delivery, Ingredient Bins & Bulk Storage for dry goods, Shelving & Storage Accessories for add-ons, and Dunnage Racks & Material Handling for floor-level storage.

No. Chefs Depot holds both under the one roof. You can pair a Simply Stainless or Vogue shelving bay with a compatible Hupfer or UNOX trolley in the same order. That means one delivery, one invoice and one less phone call to make. Browse the shelving and trolley subcategories side by side and add both to your cart.

Start with your floor plan and the largest item you need to store or move. Measure the clear height of your coolroom or dry store, then check the footprint of the unit against your aisle width. Most commercial shelving bays are adjustable in height between uprights, so you can reconfigure them as your stock mix changes. Trolley width matters most in tight corridors — check the product dimensions before ordering.

Insulated boxes from brands like Rieber, SDX Thermobox and Cambro are engineered to hold food within a target temperature range for a set period. The actual hold time depends on the ambient temperature, how full the box is and whether it was pre-conditioned before loading. For critical food-safety compliance, always verify the unit's rated performance against your specific run time and local food-safety requirements.

Many models in the Trolleys, Carts & Mobile Racks range are built from stainless steel or food-grade polymer, making them suitable for refrigerated environments. Check the individual product specs for the minimum operating temperature the manufacturer recommends. Wheel and caster materials vary between models, and some are rated for colder conditions than others.

A dunnage rack sits on the floor and elevates stock off the ground, keeping product away from moisture, pests and cleaning water. Health inspectors expect dry-store goods to be stored off the floor, so dunnage racks are a practical compliance tool as much as a storage one. Browse the Dunnage Racks & Material Handling range for solid and louvred options suited to different loads.

Wipe down polymer and stainless shelving regularly with a food-safe sanitiser, paying attention to shelf lips and upright joints where food debris collects. Avoid abrasive scourers on stainless surfaces, as they scratch the finish and make future cleaning harder. Check caster locks and wheel bearings on trolleys at each service period. Lubricate moving parts with a food-safe lubricant, and replace worn casters before they damage flooring or compromise stability.

Yes. The Shelving & Storage Accessories subcategory carries undershelves, dividers and add-on components, including solid undershelves from the Simply Stainless range, that fit common bay configurations. Check the product description for compatibility with your existing uprights before ordering, as thread pitch and post dimensions vary between manufacturers.

Pricing across the range varies considerably depending on the product type — a shelf accessory sits at a very different price point to a heated thermobox or a full mobile rack system.
