Stainless Steel Trolleys for GN Pans

Stainless steel trolleys for GN pans are an essential element in an efficiently organised professional kitchen, where GN containers are the main standard for food preparation and storage. The GN (Gastronorm) standard defines container sizes adopted across the catering equipment industry — the 1/1 GN tray (530×325 mm) is the base unit, from which all smaller fractions (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc.) are derived. Trolleys tailored to these sizes ensure efficient container transport and prevent chaotic stacking in the kitchen space.

Types of trolleys for GN pans

Stainless steel trolleys for GN pans are available in various configurations. The GN 1/1 trolley — shelves adapted for standard 530×325 mm GN 1/1 trays; often used for transporting preparation containers. The GN 2/1 trolley — larger; adapted for GN 2/1 trays and larger catering containers used in hotel kitchens. Multi-level trolley — 10, 15, 20 or more GN tray shelves in one trolley; high storage capacity in a compact footprint. Enclosed trolley — with sliding side guards or doors; better hygiene; containers protected during transport. Hanging trolley — GN trays hang from horizontal rails; a different loading and unloading mechanism. Also explore trolleys for GN 2/1 pans and trays.

Technical parameters

The parameters of a trolley for GN pans should be chosen according to kitchen needs. Capacity — 10 to 30 GN shelves in one trolley; greater capacity reduces the number of trolleys required. Shelf spacing — standard 65 mm shelf spacing for GN 65 mm depth trays; 100 mm shelf spacing also available for deeper trays. Wheels — 4 wheels with brakes; AISI 304 stainless steel construction; wheel diameter and durability suited to the kitchen floor covering. Dimensions — standard compatible with standard combi oven doors; compatibility with existing equipment should be verified. Load — 100–200 kg maximum load capacity depending on the model.

GN trolleys and convection oven compatibility for GN pans

Many professional combi ovens are designed to directly accept trolleys for GN pans. Trolley insertion into the oven — the trolley with all trays can be inserted directly into a combi oven or convection oven; no need for individual tray insertion. Rail compatibility — the trolley rails match the oven’s internal rail size; compatibility should be verified before purchase. Model standardisation — leading equipment manufacturers (Rational, Combi-Duo, Alto-Shaam) use compatible trolley standards. Time savings — inserting a trolley into the oven takes 30 seconds; inserting individual trays takes several minutes. BHS advises on compatibility with existing combi ovens.

Storage and movement organisation

Trolleys for GN pans improve kitchen logistics and organisation. Labelling system — each trolley can be fitted with a label indicating contents and preparation date; reduces mix-ups. Colour coding — a HACCP colour system for trolleys used for different food categories. Trolley parking — organised parking in cold rooms, kitchen corridors or storage areas. Flow logistics — empty trolleys on one side; full trolleys on the other; one-way movement in kitchen logistics. Also explore serving trolleys.

HoReCa usage scenarios

Large restaurant kitchen — trolleys for GN pans used to transport prepared dishes from the combi oven to the serving station; efficient large-scale hot food assembly. Hotel high-capacity kitchen — trolleys for GN pans for banquet food preparation and transport logistics. Canteen or collective catering facility — trolleys for GN pans for transporting trays from the kitchen to the serving counter. BHS supplies stainless steel trolleys for GN pans to kitchens.
