Are Durham pan and tray racks suitable for food service or industrial baking?
Durham standard-duty side-loading sheet pan racks are designed to hold full-size sheet pans, which are common in food service and industrial baking. The angle iron construction and gray finish provide durability for repeated use. Capacity is 1,200 lb, and slot spacing of 4 in or 6 in accommodates standard pan depths. These racks are not insulated or heated; they are for storage and transport. They can be used in commercial kitchens, bakeries, and food processing areas where pan handling is required. The open side-loading design allows quick access. Verify pan dimensions against the rack's listed pan size to ensure fit.
What materials are used in Durham platform trucks and pan racks?
Durham platform trucks feature wooden decks and metal frames. The pan and tray racks are constructed from angle iron with a gray finish. The wooden deck on platform trucks provides a surface that can be replaced if damaged. The angle iron racks are welded or bolted assemblies, depending on model. These materials are selected for strength and repairability in industrial environments. No stainless steel or specialized coatings are indicated in the catalog data for these standard-duty items. For corrosive environments, additional protection may be needed. Consult 3G Electric for material specifications and options.
