Essential Buying Considerations

Glass Types & Dimensions

  • Check glass height and rim diameter—ensure proper fit before buying.
  • Consider compartment size—tumblers need 9-compartment racks, wine glasses need 25-49 cells.
  • Measure maximum glass stem height for stemware racks—prevents breakage.

Space & Capacity Planning

  • Measure available space—including vertical clearance for stacking.
  • Calculate peak service needs—most busy bars require multiple racks.
  • Consider dishwasher compatibility for seamless glass washing workflow.

How Commercial Glass Racks & Extenders Work

Commercial glass racks function as modular storage systems designed specifically for the hospitality industry. The base racks feature compartmentalised cells—typically arranged in 9, 16, 25, 36 or 49-compartment configurations—each sized to hold specific glass types securely. The magic happens when you add extenders, which stack perfectly on base racks to create vertical storage towers. These extenders lock together using corner posts or built-in stacking mechanisms, ensuring stability even when fully loaded. Most are made from durable polypropylene or coated steel wire, allowing water to drain effectively after washing while protecting glassware from chips and cracks during storage and transport.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Glass Racks & Extenders

For optimal glass rack performance, invest in the correct compartment size for each glass type rather than forcing different shapes into the wrong racks. When washing, place racks flat in your commercial dishwasher and allow proper drying time before stacking—this prevents mould and water spots. Keep stemware racks at chest height for easy access, and position base racks near your glass washing station to streamline workflow. Consider colour-coding your rack system to quickly identify different glass types during busy service periods.
