This offer ends in:
The ALDN2048E is a 48-inch welded aluminium dunnage rack engineered for commercial cold stores, walk-in coolers, and dry storage areas. It elevates bulk ingredients, portioned goods, and packaged inventory 203 mm above floor level to maintain hygiene compliance and protect stock from ground moisture. Kitchen porters, receiving staff, and prep teams use it daily in high-turnover food service operations.
Commercial Application
This rack addresses the operational requirement to keep stored goods off direct floor contact. Health inspectors require minimum clearance for sanitation. The open slat design allows cold air circulation in refrigerated environments, maintaining consistent temperature around stored product.
During receiving shifts, staff stage incoming deliveries on the rack before transfer to prep stations. In walk-in units, the rack prevents condensation damage to cardboard packaging. The 1219 mm length accommodates standard gastronorm containers, hotel pans, and bulk flour sacks side by side.
Key Operational Advantages
- Constructed from 6063-T5 aluminium alloy with welded joints rated for 135 kg distributed load
- Open slat top permits airflow in refrigerated storage, reducing temperature variance around goods
- Non-porous aluminium surface resists bacterial growth and requires no surface coating
- 203 mm elevation meets UK, EU, and North American health code requirements for off-floor storage
- Weighs 3.5 kg for single-person positioning and relocation during deep cleaning cycles
- Corrosion-resistant construction suitable for walk-in coolers operating at 2°C to 4°C

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rack meet UK and EU food safety storage requirements?
A: The 203 mm elevation exceeds the 150 mm minimum clearance specified in UK Food Hygiene Regulations and EU 852/2004 standards. The non-porous aluminium construction complies with material contact requirements for indirect food storage.
Q: What load capacity does the ALDN2048E support?
A: The welded aluminium frame supports 135 kg distributed load when positioned on level flooring. Do not exceed this capacity or concentrate weight at single points.
Q: Can this rack operate in walk-in freezers below 0°C?
A: The 6063-T5 aluminium alloy maintains structural properties at temperatures down to -30°C. The material will not crack or deform in standard commercial freezer environments.
Q: Do you ship to North America and the Middle East?
A: We ship worldwide including USA, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states. Freight quotes provided based on quantity and destination. Consolidation available for multi-rack orders.
