GN 1/1 pan trolley Novameta BHS-VTGZ20-38-53-173

A mobile storage unit built to hold twenty GN 1/1 gastronorm trays in a single vertical stack, the Novameta BHS-VTGZ20-38-53-173 keeps prepared ingredients, plated dishes or chilled components within arm's reach while they wait for service or transfer. The trolley's height matches standard worktop levels, so trays slide in and out without lifting, and the open shelves let air circulate freely around each tray, preventing condensation and maintaining consistent temperatures across the load. The principle is simple: fixed shelves spaced at the exact height of a GN 1/1 tray create a dedicated slot for every tray. No stacking, no wedging, no risk of tipping. Because the trolley is on wheels, the entire inventory moves as one unit—from prep area to hot pass, from blast chiller to service counter, or from delivery dock to storage cupboard. The vertical arrangement minimises the footprint, so twenty trays occupy the same floor space as two or three laid side by side. To use the trolley, the operator pulls it to the required station, unlocks the brakes, and slides each tray into its shelf from the front. Once loaded, the brakes are reapplied to prevent rolling. During service, trays are removed one at a time or in sequence, keeping the remaining stock secure and organised. The open construction means every tray is visible and accessible without disturbing the others, so inventory checks and portion control are straightforward. The trolley is constructed from stainless steel, giving it the strength to carry a full load of trays plus the weight of the food they contain. The frame is welded for rigidity, and the shelves are fixed at equal intervals to match the GN 1/1 standard. Four swivel castors—two with brakes—provide manoeuvrability in tight kitchen aisles and stability when stationary. The dimensions of 380 mm wide, 530 mm deep and 1732 mm high determine where the trolley can be used. The width fits through standard kitchen doorways and between worktops, while the depth matches the depth of a GN 1/1 tray, so no overhang occurs. The height allows the top shelf to sit just below eye level for most operators, making the highest tray easy to reach without a step stool. Each shelf slides out smoothly so you can wipe every corner without lifting the trays from the trolley. Because there are no moving parts on the shelves themselves, maintenance is confined to occasional checks of the castor bearings and brake mechanisms to ensure smooth rolling and secure locking.
