GN 1/1 pan trolley Novameta BHS-VTGN18-38-53-170

A mobile storage and transport unit for standard gastronorm trays keeps eighteen 325 by 530 mm GN1/1 containers organised and accessible. The trolley rolls on castors, allowing kitchen staff to move prepared ingredients, plated dishes or bulk components between prep areas, holding stations and service points without lifting or transferring contents between vessels.

The principle is simple: each tray slides into a dedicated shelf slot, preventing lateral movement while the trolley is in motion. The open-frame construction ensures air circulation around every tray, maintaining consistent temperatures whether the contents are hot or chilled. Because the shelves are fixed at regular intervals, the spacing matches the standard gastronorm height, so trays stack vertically without wasted space or risk of toppling.

To use the trolley, staff load each shelf with a single GN1/1 tray, starting from the bottom and working upwards. Once loaded, the trolley can be wheeled to its destination, where trays are removed in reverse order. The fixed shelf spacing means no adjustment is needed between loads, and the open sides allow quick access to any tray without disturbing others.

The frame is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a kitchen environment. The shelves are formed from the same material, providing a smooth, durable surface that supports the weight of filled trays without bending or warping. The castors are fitted to the base, allowing the trolley to move smoothly across kitchen floors while remaining stable when stationary.

The dimensions of 385 mm wide, 530 mm deep and 1707 mm high create a footprint that fits through standard kitchen doorways and service lifts, while the height provides ample vertical storage without exceeding typical worktop or counter heights. The eighteen-shelf capacity allows bulk storage of ingredients or finished dishes, reducing the need for multiple trips or additional holding equipment.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitising solution, and the open construction prevents dirt or debris from accumulating in hard-to-reach areas. The castors should be checked periodically for smooth rotation and cleaned to remove any food particles or grease that may impede movement.

This trolley is designed for use with standard 325 by 530 mm GN1/1 gastronorm trays, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional kitchen equipment, including combi ovens, bain-maries, refrigerated counters and hot holding units.
