Tray trolley FORCAR CA1475P

A mobile storage and transport unit built to hold thirty full-size catering trays without sagging or shifting, the FORCAR CA1475P trolley keeps hot or chilled food organised between the kitchen and the service point. Side panels enclose the load on three sides, blocking draughts and preventing trays from sliding during movement.

The principle is simple: a rigid frame of vertical and horizontal rails creates evenly spaced slots that accept standard tray edges. Each slot is sized so the tray rests on its rim, not its base, distributing weight across the frame instead of concentrating it on the tray itself. This method prevents warping and allows the trolley to carry heavy loads without bending the trays. Casters at each corner provide mobility, letting a single operator push or pull the unit through doorways and along corridors.

To use the trolley, the operator slides each tray into its slot from the open front, stacking them one above the other. The side panels act as guides, keeping the trays aligned. Once loaded, the trolley is wheeled to the service area, where trays are removed in reverse order. The open front allows quick access without removing panels or unloading the entire stack.

Construction is heavy-gauge steel tubing welded into a single frame. Side panels are solid sheet steel, powder-coated for corrosion resistance. The four casters are industrial-grade, two fixed and two swivel, allowing tight turns in confined spaces. No moving parts require maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

The stated capacity of thirty trays dictates the height and spacing of the rails. In practice, this means the trolley can transport a full service batch in one trip, reducing the number of journeys between kitchen and dining area. The footprint of 1380 by 620 millimetres fits through standard kitchen doorways and service lifts, while the 1750 millimetre height allows the top tray to be loaded and unloaded without stooping.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the frame and panels with a damp cloth to remove food debris and grease. The powder-coated finish resists moisture and detergents, so no special treatment is needed. Casters should be checked periodically for debris that could impede movement, but no lubrication or adjustment is required.

The trolley is supplied as a single unit; no assembly or variants are listed. It is placed in the FORCAR catalogue under mobile storage and transport equipment for professional catering.
