The CaterRax 49-Compartment Commercial Glass Rack Extender is a heavy-duty, professional-grade washware accessory masterfully engineered to increase the vertical wall height of existing base wash racks, providing enhanced stability and impact protection for taller, narrow-profile glassware. Featuring standard 500mm x 500mm outer dimensions, this square extender snaps securely onto a standard 49-compartment base rack to safely accommodate elongated stemware, champagne flutes, slender highball tumblers, and tall liqueur glasses. The internal grid matrix mirrors the base rack perfectly, dividing the upper chamber into 49 isolated square compartments. Each individual cell is precisely calibrated to support glassware with a maximum diameter of up to 63mm, keeping long, fragile glass bodies properly aligned and fully separated to prevent swaying, glass-on-glass impact, and expensive fracturing during high-pressure wash turns.

The extender features a specialized open-profile design, maximizing water penetration and high-velocity airflow. This structural layout ensures that high-temperature wash jets strike the upper portions of taller glassware directly from all angles for thorough cleaning, followed by rapid, spot-free evaporation drying. Standing at a compact height of 40mm, the extender functions as a modular component that can be stacked in multiple tiers. This allows hospitality venues to customize the overall height of their wash crates to match changing glassware inventories while maintaining an entirely rigid, interlocking structural assembly that will not wobble during transit or storage.

Built to withstand the punishing chemical, physical, and thermal environments of modern back-of-house wash stations, this extender is molded from premium, high-density polypropylene. This advanced material is entirely resistant to aggressive commercial detergents, rinse aids, and prolonged exposure to high-temperature sanitizing water up to 93°C. For maximum back-of-house convenience, the extender features an easy-snap locking border and a vibrant blue color code, allowing staff to match it instantly with the corresponding 49-compartment base rack, saving valuable setup time.
