Dish Rack Cabinets & Shelving

Dish Rack Cabinets & Shelving in Toronto & Canada

Once a rack comes out of the dishwasher, it needs somewhere to go besides an open counter — that's what this collection covers. BK Resources builds most of the lineup, sizing from a 24" GC240 up to a 48" GC481, with adjustable-shelf and rack-slide options in between; Omcan's 44596 covers the 24" size too. For staging racks right at the dishwasher, the Thorinox Wall Dishwashing Shelf mounts overhead with a left- or right-drain choice. No matter where you're located — a bar in Toronto, a dish pit in Mississauga, or right here in Vaughan — Phoenix Food Equipment ships dish rack storage across the GTA and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What's a glass rack cabinet used for?

A glass rack cabinet gives a bar or dish pit somewhere to park a loaded glass rack between the dishwasher and the next round of service, instead of leaving it out on a prep counter or bar top where it's in the way. Most models sit right at bar height or under a back bar, so staff can slide a clean rack into reach without carrying it across the room. Some cabinets just hold a stack of racks, while others add a mounted shelf or a slide system that lets a rack roll straight in and out. If a bar or dish room keeps stacking clean racks on whatever counter space is free, a dedicated cabinet is usually the fix — it clears the counter and keeps racks organized in one spot instead of scattered around the kitchen.

What's the difference between the 24", 30", 36", and 48" glass rack cabinets, and what do "adjustable shelf" and "rack slides" mean?

Width comes down to how many racks need to be stored at once — a 24" cabinet like the GC240 Glass Rack Cabinet holds a single rack, while the 30" GC301 Glass Rack Cabinet, 36" GC361 Glass Rack Cabinet, and 48" GC481 add room for two or more side by side. "Adjustable shelf" models like the GC241 Glass Rack Cabinet include a shelf that moves up and down to fit different rack heights, while "rack slides" models like the GC242 Glass Rack Cabinet add mounted rails so a rack rolls in and out instead of being lifted. Picking between them usually comes down to how often racks get swapped — slides suit a high-turnover bar, while a fixed or adjustable shelf works fine for lower volume.

Left-drain or right-drain — which wall dishwashing shelf do I need?

The choice comes down to which side of the shelf the dishwasher or sink drain sits on in your layout — the shelf needs its own drain opening on the same side so water runs off instead of pooling on the surface. The Thorinox Wall Dishwashing Shelf is available in either a left- or right-drain configuration, and getting the wrong one usually means an installer has to mount it further from the drain line than planned, which eats into the counter space it's supposed to save. If you're not sure which side to order, check which side the plumbing rough-in for the dishwasher or sink actually lands on before ordering, since a shelf mounted on the wrong side won't drain properly.
