Tray trolley FORCAR CA1470PI

A mobile storage and transport unit designed to hold thirty full-size catering trays securely while moving through a busy kitchen or service area. The trolley eliminates repeated trips between preparation stations, cold rooms and service points by consolidating trays into a single organised load. The principle is simple: a rigid frame carries vertical runners spaced to match the tray width. Trays slide in horizontally, resting on the runners without touching each other. This spacing prevents spills, keeps food at the correct level for plating, and allows air to circulate so that hot items stay hot and cold items stay cold during transit. Side panels of stainless steel enclose the load, shielding it from draughts, splashes and accidental knocks. Four swivel castors—two locking—give the trolley stability on uneven floors and precise control when manoeuvring through doorways or tight corners. To use the trolley, the operator loads trays from the front, sliding each one fully home until it rests against the back stop. Once all thirty positions are filled, the locking castors are engaged to prevent rolling. The trolley is then pushed to the required station, where trays are removed in reverse order. The open front design allows access without tilting or lifting the trolley, reducing strain on staff. Construction is a welded steel frame finished in a durable powder coat. Stainless steel side panels are fixed to the frame with quick-release clips, allowing them to be removed for deep cleaning or replacement. The castors are industrial grade, rated for the combined weight of the trolley and a full load of trays. The footprint of 1100 mm by 620 mm fits standard kitchen aisles and service lifts, while the height of 1750 mm keeps the top tray within comfortable reach for most staff. The capacity for thirty trays matches the output of a typical banquet or event kitchen, allowing one trolley to handle a complete service run without reloading. Cleaning is straightforward: trays are removed, the interior and runners wiped down with a damp cloth, and the stainless side panels unclipped and washed separately. The powder-coated frame can be wiped clean with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that could damage the finish. Regular inspection of the castors ensures smooth movement and prevents floor damage. The trolley is supplied as a single unit, ready assembled. The solid stainless side panels keep trays aligned while the trolley glides through kitchen aisles without snagging on door frames or work surfaces.
