GN 2/1 pan and tray trolley Novameta BHS-VTGD16-58-65-170

A mobile storage and transport unit built to hold sixteen standard gastronorm trays in the GN2/1 size of 530 by 650 millimetres. The trolley moves ingredients, prepared dishes or clean trays between workstations, cold rooms and service points without lifting each tray individually. The principle is simple: each tray slides into a pair of horizontal runners that keep it level and prevent spills. The runners are spaced vertically so that the trays sit one above the other with enough clearance for gloved hands to grip the edges. Wheels at the base allow the trolley to roll smoothly over kitchen floors, thresholds and ramps, while brakes lock it in place when loading or unloading. To use the trolley, the operator unlocks the brakes, pulls the unit to the loading point, and slides each tray into its slot from the front. Once the trolley is full, the brakes are reapplied, and the unit is pushed to its destination. At the destination, trays are removed in reverse order, again from the front, so that the trolley never needs to be turned around in tight spaces. Stainless steel shelves and frame shrug off steam, splashes and scrubbing cycles in a busy kitchen without rusting or warping. The frame is welded for strength, and the runners are fixed at the correct spacing for GN2/1 trays, so no adjustment is needed. The footprint of 590 by 650 millimetres matches the width of a standard worktop and fits through most kitchen doorways. The height of 1707 millimetres allows the trolley to pass under extractor canopies and service hatches while still providing sixteen tray positions. The weight of the empty trolley is kept low enough for one person to manoeuvre it when empty, yet the design is rigid enough to prevent sway when fully loaded. Cleaning is straightforward: trays are removed, and the trolley is wiped down with a damp cloth or sanitising spray. The open frame design leaves no crevices where food debris can lodge, and the stainless steel surface resists staining from sauces, oils and cleaning chemicals. The catalogue places this trolley in the section for transport and storage equipment, alongside mobile racks, pan carriers and ingredient bins.
