Stainless steel food transport trolley, 4 shelves Novameta BHS-VTS4-100/70/123

A service trolley moves hot and cold plated meals, crockery, cutlery and ingredients from the kitchen to the servery without carrying by hand. Four shelves spread the load across a stable base, letting staff transport multiple courses, beverages and service items in a single trip. The trolley rolls on four wheels, two of them locking, so it stays in place while plates are loaded or unloaded but moves smoothly when pushed along corridors or through swing doors.

Each shelf is a flat stainless steel tray that slides under the next, leaving a clear gap for plates and trays. Sound-insulating gaskets between the shelves and the frame prevent rattling and reduce noise in busy service areas. A plastic bumper around the base protects walls, door frames and other trolleys from knocks and scrapes during daily use.

The operator loads each shelf with up to fifty kilograms of service items, ensuring heavier items are placed on the lower shelves for stability. The trolley is then wheeled to the servery, where the brakes are applied before plates are transferred to the pass or to individual tables. After service, the shelves are wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitiser, and the trolley is returned to its storage position.

Construction is welded stainless steel throughout, chosen for strength, corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The wheels are galvanised steel with a diameter of one hundred millimetres, giving a smooth ride over kitchen floors and thresholds. A protective bumper of durable plastic wraps around the lower edge of the frame.

The trolley measures one metre in length, seven hundred millimetres in width and one thousand two hundred thirty millimetres in height, fitting through standard kitchen doorways and service lifts. Its footprint allows it to stand beside worktops or counters without obstructing traffic flow, while the four-shelf configuration maximises vertical storage space in tight servery areas.

Cleaning requires only a wipe-down of the stainless steel surfaces and a check that the wheels turn freely. The sound-insulating gaskets should be kept free of debris to maintain their noise-reducing effect, and the plastic bumper inspected periodically for cracks or wear.
