Insert Pan Racks

The PVI Insert Pan Rack is designed for food service operations that need organized sheet pan storage inside reach-in boxes, under counters, on counters, or in compact kitchen spaces. In commercial kitchens, bakeries, restaurants, cafeterias, convenience food programs, healthcare kitchens, and institutional food service environments, sheet pans are used constantly. They are used for baking, cooling, prep, staging, holding, portioning, and storage. When pans are not organized properly, they can quickly take over counters, shelves, coolers, and prep areas.

PVI Insert Pan Racks are built to fit most reach-in boxes and hold standard 18″ x 26″ sheet pans as well as half-size 18″ x 13″ sheet pans. They use all-welded aluminum slides measuring 1″ high by 1 1/2″ wide and are made from all aluminum, so they will not rust. The racks are available in KD knock-down and all-welded versions, giving buyers flexibility based on shipping, assembly, and durability needs.

The half-size design can function as an insert rack, countertop rack, or under-counter rack. That makes this product especially useful for kitchens that need a compact pan storage solution without using a full-size mobile rack. Whether the goal is organizing a reach-in cooler, staging sheet pans on a prep line, or adding pan storage to a tight workspace, PVI Insert Pan Racks provide a practical solution.

Designed to Fit Most Reach-In Boxes

Reach-in coolers and freezers are valuable storage spaces, but they can become inefficient when pans are stacked poorly or placed on generic shelves. PVI Insert Pan Racks are designed to fit most reach-in boxes, helping kitchens turn that space into organized pan storage.

This is a major advantage for operations that prep ahead, chill products on sheet pans, store bakery items, cool prepared foods, or stage ingredients. Instead of trying to balance pans on shelves, staff can slide pans into a rack designed for that purpose.

Better reach-in organization also helps improve visibility. Staff can see what pans are loaded, access individual pans more easily, and reduce the need to move multiple items just to reach one product.

Holds Standard and Half-Size Sheet Pans

PVI Insert Pan Racks hold standard 18″ x 26″ sheet pans and half-size 18″ x 13″ sheet pans. These are two of the most common pan sizes in food service, making the rack useful across many kitchen types.

Standard 18″ x 26″ pans are widely used for baking, roasting, cooling, prep, and bulk production. Half-size 18″ x 13″ pans are common in smaller ovens, prep areas, display applications, and operations where smaller batches are needed.

A rack that supports both formats helps kitchens stay flexible. In some cases, the full-size model may be best for larger production. In others, the half-size insert design may be ideal for compact use.

All-Welded Aluminum Slides

The rack uses all-welded aluminum slides measuring 1″ high by 1 1/2″ wide. This slide design provides a strong, consistent support surface for sheet pans. Because pans may be loaded with food, dough, baked goods, ingredients, or prepared products, the slides need to be dependable.

Welded slides also help the rack stand up to repeated use. In a commercial kitchen, sheet pans are loaded and unloaded constantly. A rack with solid slide construction helps maintain reliable performance in daily operations.

All-Aluminum Construction That Will Not Rust

PVI Insert Pan Racks are made from all aluminum, which means they will not rust. This is especially important because insert racks may be used in reach-in coolers, freezers, prep areas, and other moisture-prone environments.

Rust resistance supports better sanitation, appearance, and longevity. Food service equipment needs to be easy to clean and reliable over time. Aluminum construction gives kitchens a strong, practical material choice for pan storage.

The aluminum design also helps keep the rack manageable. Insert racks need to be lifted, placed, removed, cleaned, and repositioned. A strong but lightweight material is valuable in those situations.

KD and All-Welded Options

PVI offers Insert Pan Racks in both KD knock-down and all-welded configurations. The full-size KD version assembles with twelve fasteners, while the half-size KD version assembles with eight fasteners. KD racks ship UPS in one box, which makes them easier to receive than many fully assembled rack products.

The all-welded version includes reinforced gusset corners and ships LTL. This option is a strong fit for buyers who want fully welded durability and do not want on-site assembly.

The availability of both options helps PVI serve different purchasing needs. Dealers and distributors may appreciate the efficiency of KD shipping, while operators with heavy daily use may prefer all-welded construction.

Half-Size Insert, Countertop, and Under-Counter Design

The half-size design is especially versatile. PVI lists it as an insert rack, countertop rack, and under-counter rack. That means it can be used in more than one way depending on the kitchen layout.

As an insert rack, it can help organize pans inside a reach-in box. As a countertop rack, it can stage pans near a prep or finishing station. As an under-counter rack, it can help use lower storage space more efficiently.

This versatility is valuable for kitchens with limited space. A half-size rack can provide real pan organization without requiring the footprint of a full mobile rack. It can also be used where pans need to be close to a specific work area.

Pan Capacity Options

PVI lists half-size models with 7-pan capacity and full-size models with 15-pan capacity. This gives buyers two practical storage choices.

The 7-pan half-size rack is ideal for compact storage, reach-in use, countertop staging, or under-counter applications. The 15-pan full-size rack provides more capacity for operations that need to hold standard sheet pans in a reach-in or storage area.

Choosing between the two depends on available space, pan size, production volume, and how the rack will be used.

Improves Prep, Cooling, and Storage Workflow

Insert Pan Racks can improve workflow in several ways. During prep, they provide a place to stage pans with ingredients or assembled products. During cooling, they keep pans separated so air can circulate more effectively. In reach-in storage, they help keep pans organized and accessible. On a countertop, they can reduce clutter and create vertical storage in a small footprint.

This matters because kitchen efficiency often depends on small improvements. A pan rack that saves staff from searching, restacking, or clearing counter space can improve daily productivity.

Coffee shops and cafés
