Commercial racks and carts move and store product safely in busy kitchens, from sheet pans fresh out of the oven to bus tubs, dishes and supplies. Babak Food Equipment offers bun pan racks, bakery racks and utility carts for restaurants, bakeries, cafés, caterers, hotels and institutions across Vancouver and British Columbia, from brands such as Thorinox, Efi, Atosa and Giles.
Types of racks and carts
Open bun pan racks
Open bun pan racks, also called bakery racks or bun carts, hold full- or half-size sheet pans on slides. They are used for cooling, proofing, staging and moving baked goods and prepped food, and most roll on casters.
Utility carts
Utility carts have two or three flat shelves for bussing, moving supplies or carrying equipment between the kitchen, storage and dining room.
How to choose a rack or cart

Pan size and capacity: match the slides to your sheet pans and count how many pans you need to stage at once.
Material: aluminum is light and rust-resistant; stainless steel is strong and easy to sanitize.
Casters: look for sturdy, non-marking wheels with brakes, sized for your floors, thresholds and ramps.
Fit: check doorway widths, aisles and whether the rack must roll into a walk-in or a roll-in oven.
Weight rating: carts used for dishes or full pans should be rated well above the load you plan to carry.

Frequently asked questions
What is a bakery rack used for?
A bakery rack, or bun pan rack, holds sheet pans for cooling, proofing, storage and transport. Bakeries, banquet kitchens and caterers use them to stage large batches.
How many pans does a bun pan rack hold?
A full-height rack typically holds about 20 full-size sheet pans at roughly 3 in spacing; closer spacing fits more pans, while half-height racks hold about half as many.
Are aluminum or stainless carts better?
Aluminum is lighter and will not rust, which suits bakery racks. Stainless steel is heavier and very durable, a good choice for utility carts that carry heavy loads.
