Pallet racking for food & beverage, designed for sanitation & CFIA-ready audits.
Salaried 416 crew — engineered design, supplied product, installed by the same team that signs the inspection. CSA A344-17 aligned. Same-day acknowledgement on emergency repair calls.
What we know about Food & Beverage racking.
Food and beverage processing buildings need racking that survives a wash-down crew, doesn't harbour bacteria in beam profiles, and supports the lot-traceability and allergen-separation discipline CFIA inspectors expect. The wrong rack profile creates a sanitation problem you can't fix without ripping it out. 416 has installed and inspected F&B racking across Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton and beyond — including buildings where the CFIA inspector showed up two weeks after install and signed off with zero deficiencies.
Pain points we solve for Food & Beverage.
Closed-profile beams trap moisture and create bacterial harborage. Open or sealed profiles drain and clean predictably.
Rack inspection reports filed in the right format make the audit a 20-minute walk-through, not a half-day discovery process.
Selective racking with clear visual zones and signage handles allergen separation better than bulk drive-in.
Closed-deck mezzanines with the right finish stay sanitary. Open-grate mezzanines fail food-grade audits.
Beam-level zone signage + inspection report cross-referencing makes recall events containable.

Selective Pallet
Open-profile beams that drain and clean. The default for F&B SKU variety storage.
Spec ›Mezzanines (closed-deck)
Closed-deck mezzanines for batch staging, lot quarantine, and allergen separation zones.
Spec ›Security Fencing
Wire mesh partitions for allergen-isolation zones and high-value SKU cages. CFIA-friendly visual separation.
Spec ›Cantilever
For long-form ingredients (sheet goods, raw materials) that don't fit selective bays.
Spec ›Regulations & standards for Food & Beverage.
Note: 416 designs and installs to documented standards. Specific clause interpretation belongs to the registered engineer of record on your project — we provide the alignment and documentation, you confirm the regulatory fit with your in-house compliance team.
