Tray Trolley Fittings

Castor fittings for tray trolleys

Castor sizes — tray trolley fittings castors in standard diameters of 80, 100, 125 or 160 mm; the same diameter as the worn castor must be chosen. Compatibility — tray trolley castor fittings must match the specific trolley’s mounting hole size or fastening system. Quality — tray trolley fittings castors with a corrosion-resistant axle and durable rubber or polyurethane surface; suitable for use in a wet kitchen environment. See also serving trolleys.
