GN 2/1 pan and tray trolley Novameta BHS-VTGD28-116-65-173

A stainless steel trolley organises and transports up to 28 gastronorm trays 530 mm by 650 mm in the standard GN2/1 format. The unit rolls on castors, allowing kitchen staff to move large batches of prepared food, ingredients or tableware between storage, preparation and service areas without lifting each tray individually.

The principle is simple: the trolley provides a vertical stack of shelves spaced to match the GN2/1 tray height. Each shelf holds one tray, keeping them level and separated. This prevents spills, protects food from contamination and makes every tray instantly accessible. The open frame construction allows air to circulate around the trays, which helps maintain food temperature and hygiene during transit.

To use the trolley, the operator slides each tray into its shelf from the front. The trays rest on horizontal rails, which support the full width and prevent sagging. Once loaded, the trolley is wheeled to its destination. The operator then removes the trays in the order needed, either from the top or the bottom, depending on the kitchen workflow. The trolley remains stable while stationary and manoeuvres easily through doorways and tight spaces.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for durability, corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The frame is welded for strength, and the shelves are formed from flat bar to provide a smooth, continuous support surface. The castors are fixed to the base, allowing the trolley to roll in any direction without swivelling the unit itself.

The overall dimensions of 1155 mm wide, 650 mm deep and 1732 mm high create a footprint that fits standard kitchen aisles and service lifts. The height allows the trolley to hold 28 trays stacked vertically, maximising storage density without exceeding typical door heights. The width matches the tray length, ensuring the trays sit flush with the sides and do not overhang.

Cleaning is straightforward: the open frame and smooth surfaces allow quick wipe-down with a cloth or sponge. There are no enclosed spaces or crevices where food debris can accumulate. The stainless steel resists staining and withstands frequent sanitising with standard kitchen cleaning agents.

The trolley is designed for the GN2/1 tray size 530x650 mm and will not accommodate other gastronorm formats without adapters. It is placed in the catalogue under Trolleys and Transport Equipment, in the section for Gastronorm Trolleys.
