Tray slide Novameta BHS258031

Tray guides convert a simple shelving rack into an organised workstation for standard catering trays. Each guide is a horizontal rail that clips onto the vertical posts of a racking system, creating a dedicated slot for one tray. The trays slide in and out along the rail, preventing them from tipping, sliding or touching each other during storage or transport. This method keeps trays level, stable and evenly spaced, so kitchen staff can load and retrieve them without jostling or spills.

To use the guides, the operator first assembles the racking frame according to its instructions. The tray guides are then clipped onto the vertical posts at the required height, aligning the front and rear guides to form a continuous track. Once the guides are secured, standard catering trays are slid into the slots, resting on the rails. The trays remain accessible from the front, allowing staff to remove or replace them without disturbing adjacent trays. The guides can be repositioned or removed as needed to accommodate different tray sizes or to reconfigure the rack for other uses.

The guides are constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and durability in a professional kitchen environment. The material withstands frequent contact with food, moisture and cleaning chemicals without rusting or degrading. The design relies on a simple clip mechanism that attaches to standard racking posts, ensuring compatibility with a range of commercial shelving systems.

A length of 1000 mm accommodates standard full-size catering trays, providing a secure and stable platform for storage and transport. The 335 mm width between the front and rear guides matches the typical width of catering trays, ensuring a snug fit that prevents lateral movement. The 120 mm height of the guides is the clearance between the rails, allowing trays to slide smoothly without obstruction.

Cleaning is straightforward: the guides can be wiped down with a damp cloth and sanitiser after use, or removed from the rack for more thorough cleaning if needed. The stainless steel surface resists staining and does not require special maintenance beyond regular wiping to remove food debris or grease.

These tray guides are placed in the shelving and racking accessories section of the catalogue, supporting the organisation of kitchen storage and transport systems.
