  • Check slot width matches your board thickness—prevents damage.

How Commercial Board Racks & Accessories Work

Commercial board racks operate on a brilliantly simple principle—sturdy slots or dividers that hold cutting boards vertically or at a slight angle, allowing air circulation between them. Most wall-mounted versions feature stainless steel brackets with carefully spaced dividers, ensuring each board dries properly after washing. Some freestanding models provide similar separation with the added flexibility of placement. The beauty lies in their design—boards remain upright, preventing moisture build-up that leads to bacteria growth, while simultaneously creating an organised system where chefs can quickly identify the right board for each food type, maintaining strict HACCP compliance in busy professional kitchens.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Board Racks & Accessories

Make the most of your board rack by installing it near your washing station but away from direct cooking heat sources. Implement a colour-coded system with different boards for separate food types—red for raw meat, blue for fish, green for vegetables—and arrange them in the same order in your rack each time. Clean the rack weekly with sanitising solution to prevent biofilm build-up. Consider adding board brushes nearby for immediate cleaning, and label slots if multiple chefs use the kitchen to maintain your system.
