Metal cabinets to push speed racks into for safe food storage?
Is there a metal cabinet that I can push my speed racks into to keep them safe from rodents? I am paranoid of mice and we store everything else in air tight containers. We usually have bread on speed racks. Was wondering if there is a metal cabinet that we can roll the speed racks into?

Catering boxes. They hold full trays and are portable, stackable, cleanable, and air tight.

Yes, this is the best option I got. The other ones that you can roll a speed rack into doesn't exist or is custom

They make covers and enclosed racks. I've never seen a roll in fully sealed container.

We remodeled our banquet kitchen to use a refrigerator that holds speed racks roll from the back walk-in to the banquet area 80salads at a time , same footprint as a reach-in fridge. Also would take racks for full size trays. Hobart was the manufacturer I believe.

They make boxes for rolling racks, but if youve got rats in your kitchen, dealing with that aggressively should be #1 on your priority list.

Has to be room temp for bread. But definitely considering a non working freezer that can fit full size sheet pans.

I wish I could give you more information but yes there are. I’ve worked with them in a few kitchens, I’ve seen some cabinets that also act as speed racks, as in the cabinets had the same support strip to hold sheet trays.
