Dishwasher Racks in Toronto & Canada

Once dishes and glasses come out of the machine, they need somewhere to sit until they're stacked and put away — that's what this collection covers, and every piece here is Omcan. Glass racks are the core of the lineup: a Flat Glass Rack for general glassware, a 9x9 Peg Glass Dishwasher Rack sized for pint glasses and mugs, and compartmented racks for stemware in 16-compartment, 25-compartment, and 36-compartment counts. Rack extenders — an Open Rack Extender plus matching 16-cup, 25-cup, and 36-cup versions — snap onto an existing rack to add height for taller glassware instead of buying a whole new one, and an 8-Compartment Cutlery Bin keeps forks, knives, and spoons sorted the same way through the wash. Once a rack is loaded, a dish rack dolly moves it across the kitchen without anyone straining their back — available in a 265 lb-capacity version and a pull-handle version. Serving Vaughan and the wider GTA — including Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and Brampton — Phoenix Food Equipment ships dishwasher racks nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What size glass rack do I need — 16, 25, or 36 compartment?

Compartment count comes down to how much glassware needs to run through the dishwasher in one cycle, not just how many staff are working the bar. A 16-compartment rack suits a smaller bar or a service station with lighter glassware volume, a 25-compartment rack covers most mid-volume bars comfortably, and a 36-compartment rack is built for a high-volume bar or banquet operation cycling large batches of glasses between rushes. Compartments also keep glasses from clinking together and chipping in the wash, so a rack that's too small for the volume means staff either overload it or run extra cycles. If glasses keep backing up at the bar, sizing up a compartment count is usually the fix.

What's a cup extender, and do I need one?

A cup extender is a tall, open-topped attachment that clips onto a standard glass rack to hold taller items — pint glasses, tumblers, to-go cups — that would otherwise tip over or not fit under the dishwasher's spray arm in a normal flat rack. Instead of buying a separate rack sized just for tall glassware, an extender turns a rack you already own into one that handles both. Extenders come in counts that match their base rack, so a 16-compartment rack pairs with a 16-cup extender, and so on for the 25- and 36-cup sizes. If a bar or kitchen keeps switching between short and tall glassware, an extender is cheaper than keeping a second dedicated rack around.

Do I need a dish rack dolly?

A loaded glass or dish rack gets heavy fast — a full rack of glassware or dishes can weigh 30-40 lbs or more once it's stacked — and carrying one by hand across a wet kitchen floor is both a strain and a drop risk. A dish rack dolly rolls underneath a standard rack so staff can wheel it between the dishwasher, the bar, and storage instead of lifting it. It's a small purchase that most dish pits and bars add once they're moving more than a rack or two per shift, and it cuts down on the kind of back strain that adds up over a full shift.
