Plate stackers
Plate stackers are mobile storage and transport solutions designed to handle high volumes of tableware safely and efficiently. Whether you're running a large restaurant, hotel, or catering operation, a commercial plate stacker keeps crockery organised, accessible, and protected during service and washing cycles.
These units are built for durability in busy kitchens and dining areas, with capacities ranging from 48 to 84 racks depending on your throughput requirements.
Plate stackers are wall-mounted or mobile storage units that organise plates efficiently in busy kitchens. Suit high-volume operations—cafés, restaurants, hotels—where plate accessibility and space management are critical. Choose between fixed wall models (€246–€467) or mobile units (€528–€898) based on your kitchen layout and volume.
When selecting a plate stacker, consider the rack capacity you need based on your daily covers and washing frequency. Mobile units with castors allow easy movement between kitchen, service areas, and storage, whilst fixed models work well for permanent stations. Check the rack compatibility with your existing crockery sizes and your dishwashing equipment.
Plate stackers reduce handling time, minimise breakage, and streamline workflow in high-volume operations. They're essential for hotels, banqueting facilities, and restaurants with dedicated plate storage and fast table turnover.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
Should we go wall-mounted or mobile?▾
Wall models (800–1620mm height) suit fixed locations near service areas. Mobile stackers (PS48M, PS84M) work better if you need flexibility to move plates between prep, service, or storage zones.
What's the capacity difference between the mobile models?▾
The PS48M holds 48 racks; the PS84M holds 84 racks. Choose PS84M for high-volume operations or when you want fewer restocking trips.
What height should we specify for a wall unit?▾
Heights range 800–1620mm. Select based on ceiling clearance and staff reach. Taller units (1620mm) maximise storage in compact kitchens but require step access.
Are these compatible with standard commercial plate sizes?▾
Product data confirms these are plate racks designed for commercial kitchens, but specific plate-size compatibility is not detailed. Confirm dimensions with your supplier before ordering.
What's the typical cost range?▾
Wall models range €246–€467; mobile stackers €528–€898. Budget depends on capacity and whether mobility is required for your operation.
