Tray trolley FORCAR CA1465P

A mobile storage and transport unit designed to hold up to twenty Gastronorm trays keeps ingredients, prepared dishes or utensils within arm's reach during service. The trolley rolls on castors so the entire load moves as one, eliminating repeated trips between workstations. Side panels prevent items sliding off during transit and shield contents from airborne particles, while the open front allows quick access without doors or lids.

The principle is simple: a rigid frame supports the trays at evenly spaced vertical intervals. Each tray rests on runners or ledges, so the weight is distributed across the structure rather than concentrated on a single shelf. This arrangement lets the operator load or unload any tray without disturbing the others, and the fixed spacing matches standard kitchen racking for seamless integration.

To use the trolley, the operator wheels it to the loading point, slides each tray onto its designated runner, and secures the side panels. Once loaded, the trolley is pushed to the required station—oven, blast chiller, plating area or servery. After use, trays are removed in reverse order, and the empty trolley is returned to its storage position.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and durability under frequent movement. The frame, runners and side panels are all welded or bolted to form a single rigid unit that withstands the weight of twenty fully laden trays without flexing.

The footprint of 950 mm long, 620 mm wide and 1750 mm high determines the space the trolley occupies on the floor and the clearance needed for doorways and corridors. The height allows trays to be loaded and unloaded at a comfortable working level without bending or stretching, while the width fits through standard kitchen door frames.

Cleaning follows from the materials and construction: stainless steel surfaces are wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent, paying attention to the tray runners where debris can accumulate. Castors are checked periodically for free movement and any build-up of grease or food particles removed to maintain smooth rolling.

The trolley is supplied as a single variant, article CA1465P, and is compatible with all standard Gastronorm tray sizes.
