Dishwasher Baskets - page 2

Dishwasher baskets designed for busy service

Dishwasher baskets are the quiet workhorses of any professional wash-up area, helping you move more items through each cycle while keeping everything organised and protected. Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, café, canteen or event service, the right basket layout reduces breakages, improves wash results and keeps staff workflow smooth from the dirty-dish drop to the drying and storage stage.

Our range focuses on robust, practical formats that suit commercial dishwashers and standard 50 x 50 cm racking systems. The open-grid construction promotes strong water circulation and detergent coverage, so plates and glassware wash evenly without trapped residue. Just as importantly, properly compartmentalised baskets prevent items from clashing, which is a common cause of chips, scratches and cloudy glass.

If you’re outfitting a wider prep and wash station, you can also coordinate your baskets with other commercial kitchen accessories to create a consistent, efficient back-of-house setup that’s easy to train new staff on and simple to scale during peak service.

Glass racks and camrack dishwasher baskets for delicate stemware

For bars, banqueting teams and venues handling high volumes of glassware, dedicated glass racks are a must. These dishwasher baskets use individual compartments to separate each glass, lowering the risk of impact damage and keeping rims from catching during loading and unloading. Compartments also support reliable positioning, which helps jets reach inside the bowl for a clearer, more hygienic finish.

Choose from formats such as 16-compartment racks for larger glasses, 25-compartment racks for versatile everyday use, and higher-density options like 36- or 49-compartment racks when throughput is the priority. With consistent 50 x 50 cm footprints, you can standardise your wash process while tailoring capacity to the type of glassware you handle most—tumblers, wine glasses or smaller bar glasses. Many racks are offered in different heights, allowing you to match the usable glass height to your stock, from shorter pieces to tall, service-ready glassware.

Camrack-style glass racks bring an especially tidy approach to high-turnover operations. Their compartmented design supports uniform spacing, and the range of compartment counts and rack heights makes it easier to set up dedicated baskets for different drink stations. This reduces sorting time and helps staff load with confidence, even during busy periods where speed matters just as much as care.

To round out a complete wash system, you can pair racks with suitable dishwashing equipment for a streamlined process that supports consistent results, cycle after cycle.

Dish caddies, basket lids and choosing the right dishwasher baskets

Plates deserve their own smart solution, and dish caddies are built precisely for that job. Designed to hold large quantities securely, they simplify batch washing and make post-wash handling far easier. Options include high-capacity caddies for up to 300 plates with six adjustable compartments, as well as larger versions for up to 400 plates with eight compartments. Adjustable dividers help you accommodate a wide range of plate diameters (approximately 12–33 cm), so you can keep side plates, starters and dinner plates separated without needing multiple storage systems.

In day-to-day service, that flexibility translates into faster sorting, quicker restocking and fewer touchpoints—particularly valuable when staff rotate or shifts overlap. Compartments keep stacks neat and stable, improving safety when moving cleaned plates to pass shelves or storage areas. They also reduce the risk of edge chipping by preventing plates from leaning into each other or tipping during transport.

For extra protection during washing and transport, basket lids are a practical addition. A lid helps secure lightweight items and reduces the chance of pieces shifting under high-pressure spray. It’s also useful when stacking racks, providing a stable top surface and helping keep loads together when moving between the dish area and storage.

When selecting dishwasher baskets, start with what you wash most often, then match compartment size and rack height to your actual inventory. For glassware, consider both the number of compartments and the maximum glass height supported. For plates, focus on capacity, divider adjustability and how you want to organise your serviceware. With the right mix of glass racks, camrack-style options, dish caddies and lids, you can build a wash system that protects your stock, speeds up turnaround and supports a consistently professional finish.
