Craven Drip Dry Trolley with Tray — 30 Basket Capacity

The Craven Drip Dry Trolley is a purpose-built stainless steel storage and drying solution for dishwasher baskets and similar trays. It holds up to 30 baskets arranged across three levels, with an integrated drip tray positioned beneath to collect residual water as washed items drain and dry. The construction is entirely stainless steel, consistent with the hygiene and durability demands of commercial warewashing areas.

In a busy kitchen, post-wash basket management is a practical problem that is often underestimated. Stacking wet baskets on a worktop or in a corner creates spillage risks, obstructs workflow, and can compromise hygiene. A dedicated drip dry trolley keeps the warewashing area organised throughout service, allowing clean baskets to be returned to circulation systematically rather than piling up. The three-level layout makes good use of vertical space without requiring a large footprint in the wash area.

From an operational standpoint, this trolley offers several practical advantages:

• Keeps wet baskets off working surfaces, reducing slip hazards and water ingress to flooring
• Integrated drip tray channels residual water away cleanly
• Three-level design maximises vertical storage without excessive floor space
• All-stainless construction is resistant to the humidity and cleaning chemicals typical in wash areas
• Freestanding and mobile, so it can be repositioned as workflow demands

There are no utility connections required — the trolley is freestanding and requires no electrical, water, or drainage installation. It weighs 32kg, so positioning is straightforward for most kitchen teams. Given its height, verify overhead clearance in the intended location, particularly if the wash area has low-level extraction canopies or shelving.

This trolley is well suited to kitchens running a dedicated warewashing station with consistent basket throughput — catering units in schools, hospitals, hotels, and contract catering operations will typically find the 30-basket capacity practical for a full service cycle. Smaller operations with lower basket volumes may find a more compact unit sufficient, while very high-volume sites running continuous dishwasher cycles might benefit from a second unit to keep pace with throughput.
