A dunnage shelf — more commonly called a dunnage rack — is a low-profile floor-level storage platform designed to elevate product off the ground, typically 8 to 14 inches high, to satisfy food safety air-gap requirements and allow airflow beneath stored goods.
Unlike full-height wire shelving units, a dunnage rack sits directly on the floor and handles bulk, heavy product: cases of produce, bag-in-box beverages, large equipment, or dry goods. The elevated platform keeps stored product out of contact with floor moisture, allows a mop or floor scrubber to pass underneath, and meets NSF floor-clearance standards that health inspectors check during foodservice audits. Krollen Industrial dunnage racks come in chrome (for dry storage) and green epoxy finishes (for walk-in coolers and humid environments).
- Standard dunnage rack post heights: 8 inches (standard NSF floor-clearance) or 14 inches (bulk storage with extra airflow).
- Krollen Industrial 24 × 48-inch NSF chrome dunnage rack is rated at 600 lb. distributed load capacity.
- Krollen Industrial green epoxy dunnage racks are rated at 450 lb. and sized from 21 × 42 to 24 × 60 inches.
- Chrome finish suits dry storerooms; green epoxy resists moisture in walk-in coolers and refrigerated prep areas.
- Dunnage racks are stackable, but safe stacking is limited to two units high with evenly distributed load.
