Tray trolley FORCAR CA1470

A mobile rack that organises thirty GN 1/1 gastronorm trays in a single column, letting kitchen staff load and retrieve each tray without shifting the others.

The principle is simple: slide-ways run the full height of the frame, creating shelves that support the trays at their long edges. Because the trays rest on rails rather than a solid shelf, air circulates freely around them, speeding up cooling or keeping hot food at serving temperature. The column design also means the trolley takes no more floor space than a single tray, so it fits narrow aisles and tight corners.

To use the trolley, the operator slides each tray into its slot from the front. The slide-ways guide the tray straight in, preventing jams and spills. Once loaded, the trolley rolls on multidirectional wheels, allowing it to turn in place and pass through doorways without tilting. A rubber buffer at the base absorbs knocks, protecting both the trolley and the surroundings.

The frame and slide-ways are made of stainless steel, chosen for strength and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen. Multidirectional wheels are fitted to the base, and the rubber buffer is mounted at the front lower edge.

The trolley is sized for GN 1/1 trays measuring 530 by 325 millimetres. Its footprint of 110 by 620 millimetres means it occupies the same space as one tray laid flat, while its height of 1750 millimetres allows it to hold thirty trays stacked vertically.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with standard kitchen sanitiser, and the slide-ways are open at the back so debris does not collect. The wheels should be checked periodically for smooth running.

An optional bottle-holder, available in stainless steel or ABS, can be added to the side of the trolley for carrying liquids or condiments alongside the trays.

The trolley is listed in the catalogue under mobile storage and transport equipment for professional kitchens.
