Plate storage, transport and warming trolley Novameta BHS-VTL2-85/60/90

A plate trolley moves stacks of crockery between the wash-up area, storage cupboards and the pass without carrying by hand. The unit rolls on four wheels, two of which lock to hold the trolley in place while plates are loaded or unloaded. This frees both hands and reduces the risk of breakage or strain in a busy service. The trolley's open frame lets plates stand upright or lie flat, depending on the size and shape of the crockery. Shelves or rails are not fitted, so the operator can organise the load to suit the kitchen's workflow—smaller plates at the front for quick access, larger platters at the back. The height of the trolley keeps the plates at worktop level, so staff do not need to bend or stretch when transferring them. To use the trolley, unlock the wheels and push it to the required station. Engage the brakes on the two locking wheels to prevent movement while plates are added or removed. Once loaded, release the brakes and manoeuvre the trolley to the next position, using the handles at either end for control. The frame is constructed from stainless steel, which resists corrosion from water and cleaning chemicals. Four 125 mm wheels are fitted, two with foot-operated brakes. The overall dimensions of 850 mm long, 600 mm wide and 900 mm high allow the trolley to pass through standard kitchen doorways and fit alongside worktops and cupboards. The footprint of 850 by 600 mm means the trolley occupies the same space as a standard work surface, so it can be parked in a corner or under a shelf when not in use. The 900 mm height matches most kitchen workstations, keeping plates at a comfortable working level. The weight of the trolley, though not specified, is light enough to be moved by one person when empty, while the wheels and frame are designed to support a full load of stacked plates. Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the stainless steel frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove food debris or grease. The wheels should be checked regularly for debris that could impede movement or braking, and the brakes tested to ensure they hold securely when engaged. The smooth, seamless frame lets you wipe down the entire trolley without removing a single screw or panel after service. The Novameta BHS-VTL2-85/60/90 is categorised as a general-purpose trolley for plates, trays and similar crockery in professional catering environments.
