Craven Steel Tray Stacking Trolley – 100 Tray Capacity

The Craven tray stacking trolley is a straightforward, practical solution for managing tray storage and movement in busy food service environments. Constructed from steel with an epoxy coating, it is built to withstand the daily handling that comes with high-volume service — whether that is a school canteen, staff restaurant, hospital kitchen, or a hospitality operation running buffet or self-service covers.

In practice, these trolleys earn their keep during the turnaround between service periods. Rather than trays accumulating on worktops or being stacked haphazardly, a dedicated stacking trolley keeps the floor clear, speeds up clearing operations, and allows tray stocks to be moved efficiently between service and washing areas. The castors allow the loaded trolley to be repositioned without difficulty, which is useful in tighter back-of-house spaces.

Key operational advantages include:

• Keeps service and clearing areas organised during and after service
• Moves easily between service, storage, and dishwash areas on castors
• Epoxy-coated steel construction resists the knocks and moisture of daily kitchen use
• Lightweight at under 10kg, so easy to reposition when empty
• Straightforward to wipe down and keep clean between services

This trolley requires no installation — it arrives ready to use. There are no utility connections involved. The footprint is compact enough for most back-of-house corridors and servery areas, though it is worth measuring access routes, particularly through doorways, before ordering.

It is well suited to operations running a single busy service or moderate tray volumes. Sites with significantly higher throughput, or those running multiple simultaneous service points, may benefit from additional units or a heavier-duty alternative.

If you are unsure how many trolleys your operation needs or whether this model is the right fit for your service setup, we are happy to talk it through.
