Plate storage, transport and warming trolley Stalgast ST246101

A plates dispenser keeps stacks of crockery at counter height, ready for service without bending or reaching into cupboards. Two independent columns each hold a vertical stack of plates; gravity lowers the stack as plates are drawn from the bottom, so the next plate is always at the same convenient height. This arrangement eliminates the need to restack during service and reduces the risk of chipping or dropping plates while they are carried across the kitchen.

The operator loads each column from the top, placing plates one by one until the stack reaches the capacity. Plates are removed from the front, one at a time, by lifting the bottom plate clear of the retaining lip. No controls are fitted; the unit relies on gravity and the weight of the plates to keep the stack stable and accessible.

The dispenser is constructed from stainless steel, forming a rigid frame that supports the two columns. The footprint of 1000 mm by 510 mm fits on a standard worktop or can be placed on a mobile stand if floor space is limited. The overall height of 880 mm positions the bottom plate at a comfortable working level for most staff.

Each column accepts plates between 250 mm and 300 mm in diameter, allowing the same unit to be used for dinner plates, large platters or oval dishes within that range. The capacity of 50 plates per column means that a full load can be prepared before service and replenished in a single operation during quieter periods.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. The open construction prevents food debris from collecting, and the absence of moving parts or electrical components simplifies upkeep.

The catalogue places this model in the serving and front-of-house section, alongside other equipment that speeds table turnover and reduces manual handling.
