Cambro

The Cambro UPCS140480 is a top-loading, passively insulated food carrier from the S-Series Camcarrier range. It is built to hold a single full-size 1/1 GN pan and maintain food at safe serving temperatures during transport, with no power source required. The polypropylene shell with polyurethane foam insulation core is a well-proven combination — keeping the unit light enough to handle comfortably when fully loaded, while providing reliable thermal retention across typical transport journeys.

This type of carrier is well established in outside catering, events work, school meal delivery, care home services, and satellite kitchen operations. The door seal and nylon latches help contain heat between the kitchen and the point of service, which matters both for food quality and for meeting food safety temperature requirements in transit.

• Top-loading design keeps the GN pan secure and stable during transport
• Four moulded handles allow a confident grip when the carrier is fully loaded
• Stackable construction aids storage efficiency and vehicle loading
• Polypropylene shell handles daily knocks and is straightforward to wipe down
• Passive insulation only — not a substitute for active holding equipment in extended service situations

As a single-pan carrier, this unit is best suited to operators moving smaller quantities — a single course, a supplementary run alongside a larger fleet, or lower-volume meal delivery rounds. For operations regularly transporting multiple GN pans, or where longer retention windows are required, a higher-capacity carrier from the same range is likely to be the more practical choice.

If you are planning a carrier fleet or weighing up sizes for a specific service model, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your operation.

The Cambro Ultra Camtainer is a portable, passively insulated beverage dispenser designed for commercial catering situations where drinks need to be held at temperature away from a fixed service point. It requires no electrical connection — the insulation does the work — making it a practical choice for event catering, outdoor service, hospitality suites, and satellite drink stations within larger venues or institutions.

What operators care about most with a unit like this is how long it genuinely holds temperature and how well it handles being moved around a busy site. The one-piece polyethylene body with polyurethane foam insulation is built for extended holding periods. Interlocking bases allow multiple units to be stacked and transported without instability, moulded handles provide a confident grip when the unit is full, and nylon latches keep the lid closed during transit — details that matter when a team is turning around a service point under time pressure.

Key operational advantages include:

• No power source required — insulation maintains temperature independently
• One-piece body construction simplifies cleaning between services
• Interlocking base allows stable stacking when transporting multiple units
• Moulded handles give a secure grip at full capacity
• Nylon lid latches prevent spillage during movement

There are no installation requirements of any kind. That simplicity is part of the appeal, but temperature retention is finite. For longer events or formats where tight temperature control is critical, operators should think carefully about service duration and whether running units in rotation would suit the operation better than relying on a single dispenser.

This capacity suits smaller service runs, break stations, or use as one of several units cycling through a larger event. For higher-volume operations or extended service windows, a larger-capacity model within the Camtainer range may be worth considering.

If you are working out how many units would suit a particular event format or service model, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Cambro Ultra Pan Carrier is a passive insulated food carrier designed to hold and transport six full-size 1/1 GN pans. It requires no power connection of any kind — temperature retention is achieved entirely through thick polyurethane foam insulation moulded into the body. It handles both hot and cold food safely over extended periods, making it a practical working tool rather than a simple storage box.

In practice, this type of carrier earns its place through consistent, repeatable performance across heavy daily use. Once loaded with food at the correct holding temperature, it maintains safe conditions for several hours. That suits off-site catering, event service, school meal delivery routes, and any back-of-house situation where plugged-in holding equipment is not an option. The front-loading design allows individual pans to be accessed without disturbing the rest of the load — a straightforward advantage during a busy service.

• Passive foam insulation maintains temperature for several hours with no power required
• Front door access allows single-pan retrieval without unsettling the full load
• Integrated menu clip helps identify contents without opening the carrier
• Built-in seal and vent aid cleaning and reduce day-to-day maintenance
• Robust moulded handles and single-latch closure built for repeated daily handling

There are no installation requirements — no electrical supply, water connection, or ventilation is needed. One practical point worth noting: the carrier retains temperature rather than generates it, so food must be loaded at the correct serving or holding temperature before transport. It is also worth confirming that front-loading access suits your vehicle or racking layout, as some operations find a top-loading format better matched to their configuration.

This carrier is well suited to contract caterers, school meal services, event hospitality teams, and any operation that regularly moves food between kitchen and service point. For sites with greater pan volume requirements or a different loading preference, larger or alternative-format carriers in the same range are worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this carrier fits your service model or delivery routes, our team is happy to help before you commit to an order.

The Cambro CDR2020151 Camdolly is a purpose-built base unit designed to sit beneath stacked 500mm square Camrack dish or glass racks, allowing them to be rolled around the warewashing area rather than carried or lifted individually. It forms part of the broader Cambro Camrack system and solves a straightforward but persistent problem in high-volume warewashing operations.

In a busy wash area, staff are under consistent pressure to keep clean crockery and glassware moving to the pass. Being able to roll a loaded stack of racks directly from the dishwasher to a storage or service point — without breaking the stack down and carrying racks one at a time — saves time and reduces physical strain across a long service. The four heavy-duty swivel castors are mounted to moulded-in steel reinforcement plates, giving the base the rigidity to handle a fully laden stack safely across typical commercial kitchen floor surfaces, including the wet or uneven areas common in wash zones.

Practical benefits for warewashing operations include:

• Reduces manual handling strain when transporting loaded rack stacks across service
• Swivel castors allow tight turns in confined or busy wash areas
• High-density polyethylene construction handles moisture and chemical exposure reliably
• Steel-reinforced castor mounts maintain structural integrity under sustained heavy use
• Low-profile design stores cleanly beneath stacked racks when not in use

This model has no handle, which suits compact storage beneath rack stacks but is worth considering if your layout involves moving racks across longer distances or through busier kitchen runs — a handled variant may be more practical in those circumstances. It is also worth confirming compatibility with the specific Camrack rack size already in use at your site before ordering.

The Camdolly is well suited to cafés, restaurants, pubs, contract caterers, and hospitality venues already running the Cambro Camrack system. Sites processing high rack volumes may find it worth having more than one dolly in rotation to keep the warewashing workflow moving without interruption. For very large operations, heavier-duty or handled configurations may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a warewashing station or want to confirm which Camdolly configuration suits your layout, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Cambro CDR2020H151 Camdolly is a purpose-built trolley base designed to work with standard 500mm square Camrack warewashing racks. The fitted handle allows kitchen and pot-wash staff to move a full stack of loaded racks in a single journey, rather than carrying them individually between the wash area, storage, and service points.

In a busy warewashing operation, the practical difference during peak service is straightforward: fewer trips, less manual handling, and a more consistent flow of clean ware reaching the pass. The low-profile base keeps a loaded stack stable during movement, and the handle gives operators a secure, confident grip when navigating the confined spaces typical of most commercial kitchens — between equipment runs, through doorways, and around tight corners.

The main operational advantages in day-to-day use:

• Moves a full stack of loaded racks in one journey, reducing back-and-forth between wash and service areas
• Reduces manual handling strain on pot-wash staff during sustained service periods
• Swivel castors allow easy manoeuvring across tiled and non-slip kitchen floors
• High-density polyethylene construction resists moisture, cleaning chemicals, and daily impact
• Castors fixed to moulded-in steel plates for reliable performance under repeated heavy loads

No significant assembly is required, and the unit is ready to use with existing Camrack 500mm rack systems without modification.

This dolly is well suited to kitchens already running the Cambro Camrack system, particularly where racks are stacked for storage or moved regularly between separate wash and service areas. Operations running a high volume of racks in continuous circulation through a full service push may find it worth having more than one unit in rotation to keep the flow moving without bottlenecks.

If you are unsure how many units your operation is likely to need, or want to confirm compatibility with your current rack setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Cambro PR314151 is a 9 x 9 peg rack designed to hold plates, bowls, trays and plate covers securely during a commercial dishwasher cycle. The upright pegs locate items individually, preventing contact between pieces and allowing water and detergent to reach all surfaces consistently. It fits standard rack-size dishwashers as used across the catering industry.

In a busy warewash area, consistency matters as much as speed. A well-loaded peg rack keeps crockery stable at high wash temperatures and under the force of rotating spray arms, reducing the likelihood of items toppling or chipping during the cycle. The fixed peg layout also encourages correct loading discipline, which helps maintain throughput during peak service when staff are working quickly under pressure.

Practical advantages for a working kitchen include:

• Accommodates a range of plate diameters without additional inserts
• Pegs keep items separated, supporting effective wash and rinse coverage
• Robust construction handles the repeated thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers
• Consistent rack dimensions allow easy stacking and storage in the warewash area
• Compatible with standard dishwasher rack systems used across most commercial sites

This rack is well suited to kitchens running moderate to high volumes of mixed crockery — restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations and staff canteens where plate sizes vary across the menu. For sites running very high volumes or specialised crockery formats, it is worth considering whether a different rack configuration would improve throughput further.

If you are building out a warewash rack set or are unsure which combination of racks suits your crockery profile and machine type, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Cambro OETR314151 Camrack is a dishwasher tray rack designed specifically to handle catering trays of varying lengths. Unlike standard closed-end racks, this unit is open on one end, which means trays can slide through rather than needing to fit within a fixed internal boundary. Each rack holds nine trays in a single pass, keeping turnaround organised and consistent during busy service periods.

In a working kitchen, tray throughput during meal service can quickly become a bottleneck. This rack helps operators keep trays cycling through the dishwasher efficiently without the handling difficulties that come from forcing oversized trays into closed racks. The soft grey finish is practical for a warewash environment and the open-end design reduces the fuss of loading and unloading under pressure.

A few practical points worth noting before purchasing:

• Open-ended design accommodates trays of varying lengths without forcing or repositioning
• Holds nine trays per rack, supporting consistent batch washing
• Supplied as standard in soft grey
• Extenders cannot be added to this rack
• Requires a dishwasher with an extra-deep wash chamber — not suitable for standard-depth machines

The chamber depth requirement is the most important consideration here. This rack will not sit or wash correctly in a machine without the additional internal clearance, so it is worth confirming your machine's wash chamber dimensions before ordering. It is not a universal fit across all commercial dishwashers.

This rack is well suited to staff restaurants, school canteens, healthcare facilities, and other operations running high volumes of catering trays through a compatible deep-chamber machine. If you are unsure whether your dishwasher is suitable, or if you need advice on rack configurations for your volume of service, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

The Cambro Camrack 16-compartment cup rack is a purpose-built warewash rack designed to hold cups, mugs, and similar items securely through a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher cycle. It is supplied in a soft grey finish as standard, with other colours available to support colour-coded rack systems where operators need to separate different ware types through the wash cycle.

What distinguishes this rack from a standard flat-bottom cup rack is its built-in tilt feature. The rack is designed so that cups and mugs sit at a slight angle, allowing water to drain away from the base rather than pooling inside them. In a busy kitchen environment this makes a practical difference — cups come out drier and are ready for service or storage more quickly, without staff needing to invert each one manually after washing.

Key practical points for operators:

• Tilt-drain design reduces standing water inside cup bases after the wash cycle
• 16 compartments per rack gives a reliable throughput for tea, coffee, and hot beverage service
• Suits cups and mugs up to 11cm in diameter including the handle
• Compatible with standard 500mm commercial dishwasher baskets
• Colour-coded options available to support rack management systems

This rack is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, staff canteens, and any site running a high volume of hot beverage service. For operations handling a larger mix of glassware or needing a different compartment count, alternative rack configurations are available across the Cambro range.

If you are building out a rack system or are unsure which combination of racks suits your dishwasher and service volume, we are happy to talk it through with you.

The Cambro Camrack cup rack is a purpose-built warewashing rack designed to hold up to 20 cups or mugs per cycle through a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher. It is a straightforward, well-engineered piece of kit that addresses one of the more common frustrations in busy warewash operations: water pooling in the base of cups and mugs after the wash cycle.

What sets this rack apart from a standard flat-peg rack is its tilted compartment design. Each compartment sits at an angle so that water drains away from the cup base during the wash and rinse cycles rather than collecting inside. In practice, this means cups come out drier and ready for service faster, with less need for hand-drying — which matters during a busy breakfast service or pre-service setup when speed and hygiene both count.

• Tilted compartments drain water from cup bases automatically during the wash cycle
• Suited to cups and mugs up to 110mm diameter, including those with handles
• Consistent rack format integrates with standard Cambro rack systems
• Supplied in soft grey as standard; alternative colours are available
• Durable construction suitable for repeated commercial dishwasher use

This rack is designed for operations handling a steady volume of cups — cafés, hotel breakfast services, staff canteens, and similar environments where cup throughput is consistent and hygiene standards are non-negotiable. For operations running very high volumes across multiple dishwasher lanes, it is worth considering whether additional racks or a higher-capacity rack format would better suit the workflow.

If you are unsure which Cambro rack configuration works best alongside your existing warewash setup, or need guidance on colour coding for allergen or section separation, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro BR258119 is an open-format base rack designed for use in commercial warewash systems. It sits at the bottom of a Camrack configuration and is intended to accommodate pots, pans, bowls, and larger preparation or service items that don't fit neatly into standard compartmentalised racks. The green colour coding helps kitchen teams quickly identify and sort racks during busy service periods.

In a working kitchen, base racks take considerable punishment — they're loaded heavily, stacked, dragged across surfaces, and cycled through dishwashers repeatedly throughout the day. Cambro's Camrack range is well regarded in professional warewash environments for holding up under this kind of sustained use. The open base design allows water and detergent to reach all surfaces of irregular-shaped items, which is particularly useful when washing larger or deep-sided pieces that can trap water in enclosed racks.

Practical advantages for kitchen operations include:

• Colour-coded green for quick rack identification and sorting
• Open construction supports thorough water coverage on bulky items
• Compatible with standard Camrack modular stacking systems
• Durable construction suited to repeated daily dishwasher cycles
• Handles a broad range of large prep, service, and display items

This rack is best suited to kitchens already running a Camrack system, or those looking to introduce a modular racking approach to their warewash area. It's a practical choice for medium to high-volume operations where clear rack organisation and reliable throughput matter. For sites handling very high volumes or specialised items, it's worth considering whether additional rack configurations within the Camrack range would complement this base unit.

If you're unsure whether this rack fits your current dishwasher setup or Camrack configuration, we're happy to talk it through.

The Cambro BR414151 is an open-base warewash rack designed to handle pots, pans, bowls, and larger preparation or service items that don't fit comfortably in a standard compartment rack. It sits at 500mm x 500mm to match the footprint of most commercial dishwashers and glasswashers, and the open construction allows water and detergent to reach items from all angles during the wash cycle.

In a busy kitchen environment, a reliable base rack earns its place through straightforward durability. The open design reduces food trap points and makes post-cycle inspection quick, which matters when warewash turnaround is tight during service. The soft grey Cambro construction is robust enough for daily commercial use without becoming brittle or discolouring noticeably over time.

• Open rack format allows thorough water and chemical penetration around bulky items
• Supplied as standard with one extender, increasing usable internal height where needed
• Consistent 500mm footprint fits standard commercial warewash machines
• Suitable for pots, pans, mixing bowls, colanders, and similar large items
• Straightforward to stack and store when not in use

Installation considerations are minimal — this is a passive accessory that requires no connection to services. It is worth confirming the internal dimensions of your existing dishwasher or glasswasher before ordering to ensure the 500mm rack fits correctly, particularly in older or non-standard machines. The included extender adds height, but very tall items may still require an alternative solution.

This rack suits kitchens that regularly wash large or awkward items and need a dependable solution that holds up to daily use. If your operation runs higher volumes or requires multiple rack configurations simultaneously, it is worth reviewing whether additional base racks or alternative insert types would better serve your workflow.

If you are building out a full rack system or unsure which configuration suits your machine, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro Camrack 16-compartment cup rack is a purpose-built warewashing rack designed to hold cups and coffee mugs securely through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher cycle. It is supplied in a soft grey finish as standard, though other colours are available within the Cambro rack system, which can be useful where kitchens colour-code their warewash sorting.

What sets this rack apart from a standard cup basket is its built-in tilt feature. When the rack is tipped at the end of the wash cycle, water drains fully from the base of each cup rather than pooling inside. In a busy café, restaurant, or hotel breakfast operation where cups cycle continuously through service, this makes a practical difference to drying times and helps maintain hygiene standards without staff needing to hand-dry each piece.

The rack is suited to cups and mugs up to 110mm in diameter including the handle, and the 107mm internal compartment height accommodates a wide range of standard catering crockery. Key practical points worth noting:

• Tilt-drain design removes standing water from cup bases after washing
• 16 compartments per rack supports efficient throughput in continuous service
• Colour-coded options available for multi-rack sorting systems
• Compatible with standard commercial dishwasher and glasswasher rack formats
• Durable Cambro construction suited to repeated daily wash cycles

This rack is well suited to cafés, hotel food and beverage operations, staff canteens, and any site running a high volume of cups through a commercial machine. Sites with larger throughput requirements or a need for different compartment configurations may find other sizes within the Camrack range more appropriate.

If you are building out a full rack system or unsure which configuration works best for your machine and crockery profile, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Cambro 20C414151 is a full-size dishwasher cup rack designed to hold up to 20 cups or coffee mugs per wash cycle. It is a straightforward, practical piece of warewash kit — the kind of rack that quietly does its job without requiring much thought once it is in use.

The defining feature of this rack is its built-in tilt design, which angles cups and mugs so that water drains completely from the base during the wash and dry cycle. In a busy kitchen this matters: pooled water sitting in the base of cups slows drying time, creates additional handling at the end of the cycle, and introduces hygiene risk. The tilt function addresses all three of those issues without any extra effort from the operator.

Practically speaking, this rack suits operations where cups and mugs form a meaningful portion of the wash load — cafés, hotels, staff canteens, conference facilities, and pub kitchens with a strong coffee or hot drinks service. The compartment size accommodates cups with handles, which is a detail worth checking against your crockery before ordering.

• Tilt drainage reduces pooling and speeds up drying after each cycle
• 20 compartments per rack supports steady throughput during service
• Supplied in soft grey as standard; other colours available to support colour-coded wash systems
• Compatible with full-size commercial dishwasher baskets

It is worth noting that this rack is sized for cups and standard mugs — it is not designed for tall glasses or large catering mugs. If your operation runs a high volume of mixed glassware and cups through the same machine, it may be worth discussing which rack configurations would give you the most efficient loading pattern.

If you are unsure whether this rack fits your current dishwasher or crockery, the team is happy to help you confirm compatibility before you order.

The Cambro UPCH400 is an electrically heated, insulated pan carrier designed to hold prepared food at a consistent, safe serving temperature during the period between production and service. It accepts six full-size 1/1 GN pans and uses a low-energy heating system built into Cambro's well-established Ultra Pan Carrier chassis — a format that has proven reliable across professional catering operations for many years.

In a working kitchen or events environment, the unit earns its place by bridging the gap between cooking and service without compromising food quality. Whether you are holding ahead of a banquet, buffering output between cooking batches, or transporting food to an off-site service point, the UPCH400 maintains food within a safe temperature band without further cooking or drying it out. Recovery after repeated access is prompt, which matters when staff are opening the unit frequently during a busy service run.

Key practical advantages include:

• HACCP-compliant hot holding to support food safety records and due diligence
• Very low energy consumption, making continuous use through a service period economical
• Built-in thermometer for at-a-glance temperature monitoring without opening the unit
• Moulded handles for safe, stable movement between locations or into vehicles
• Fully insulated body that retains heat effectively even in cooler back-of-house conditions

The unit requires only a standard mains electrical connection and no fixed installation. It can be preheated from room temperature ahead of service and positioned on a worktop, trolley, or floor-level stand as needed. It is important to be clear that this is a holding unit, not a cooking or regeneration device. Food must reach the correct internal temperature during the cooking process before being loaded — the UPCH400 is not designed to raise food temperature from cold, and it should not be used as a substitute for a regen oven or heated cupboard where temperature recovery is required.

This unit is well suited to contract caterers, banqueting operations, school and hospital kitchens, and any operation where food is prepared in advance and held or transported before service. For very high-volume sites requiring a greater number of GN positions, a larger-capacity model within the same range may be more appropriate. For smaller operations with modest holding needs and no reliable access to a power supply at the point of use, a non-electric insulated carrier may be a more practical choice.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your service model — particularly around holding volume, transport requirements, or compliance — our team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.

The Cambro UPC800401 is a large-capacity insulated food carrier built to hold and transport up to twelve full-size gastronorm pans while maintaining safe serving temperatures without any power source. It relies on a double-wall polypropylene shell with substantial foam insulation to retain heat across the extended timeframes that arise in real catering operations — central production runs, banquet service, education meal rounds, and healthcare food distribution.

In practice, this carrier is most useful where food is prepared in one location and served in another, or where hot-held food needs to stay ready during a busy service period without tying up oven or bain-marie capacity. The airtight door gasket makes a meaningful contribution to temperature retention over time, and because it is removable, it can be cleaned separately — a straightforward advantage where hygiene compliance is a daily requirement.

The key practical advantages from an operational standpoint:

• Doors open to 270 degrees, easing loading and unloading in confined spaces
• Fitted castors and moulded handles allow one person to move a fully loaded unit
• No power connection required — no cables, no running costs, no installation
• Durable nylon door latch designed to withstand repeated daily use
• Removable gasket supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance

Because no electrical connection is needed, the practical considerations are straightforward: adequate floor space, a reasonably level surface when stationary, and sufficient clearance for the door swing in your loading area. On uneven surfaces, care should be taken when the carrier is fully loaded.

This unit is well suited to contract caterers, event catering teams, and healthcare or education operations that regularly move hot food in volume. Smaller operations with more modest pan requirements may find a lower-capacity carrier in the same range a better match. For very high-volume distribution across multiple service points, it is worth considering whether two units or a heavier-duty trolley system would serve the operation more effectively.

If you are working out how many carriers your service model needs, or whether this size is the right fit for your pan count and holding times, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Cambro UPCS160480 is a top-loading insulated food carrier from the S-Series Camcarrier range, designed to transport hot food safely between kitchens, service points, or off-site locations. It holds a single full-size gastronorm pan and relies on a polyurethane foam core within a polypropylene shell — a well-established construction with a long track record in commercial catering environments.

These carriers are a familiar piece of kit in contract catering, school meal delivery, event catering, and satellite kitchen operations where food needs to arrive at service temperature without the complications of a powered holding unit. Wide nylon latches and a consistent seal help retain heat during transit, reducing the risk of food dropping below safe holding temperatures before it reaches the table.

The practical design suits operational realities rather than adding unnecessary complexity:

• Moulded handles on all four sides keep the unit manageable when fully loaded
• Interlocking base allows secure stacking during storage or vehicle loading
• Lighter than insulated metal alternatives, reducing handling fatigue on longer runs
• No power source required, keeping food transport compliance straightforward

There are no electrical, gas, or plumbing requirements. Setup is simply load and latch. It is worth being clear, however, that passive insulation has limits — this carrier is suited to transit and short-term holding rather than extended service periods. Pre-heating the carrier before loading will meaningfully extend effective holding time and is worth building into your prep routine.

This model is well suited to operators handling smaller-volume deliveries, occasional outside catering, or satellite service points where one or two pans need to travel reliably. Sites moving larger quantities of food regularly may find a higher-capacity multi-pan carrier better matched to their needs.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service pattern, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Cambro UPCS180480 is a top-loading passive insulated food carrier from the S-Series Camcarrier range. It holds a single full-size gastronorm pan and is designed to maintain safe food temperatures during transit — from kitchen to service point, or between sites — without any electrical connection. The shell is constructed using polyurethane foam injection into a polypropylene body, a well-proven construction approach for this class of carrier that balances thermal retention with the durability demands of daily commercial use.

Carriers of this type are a practical and reliable tool for operations that need to move food between production and service, or carry prepared meals to off-site locations. Contract caterers, school kitchens, care homes, and event operators routinely rely on insulated carriers where holding temperature is both a food quality concern and a regulatory requirement. The sealed lid and nylon latch system contribute meaningfully to heat retention, reducing the risk of food falling below safe thresholds before it reaches service.

Features that make this carrier well suited to working kitchens include:

• Moulded handles on all four sides for balanced, secure carrying
• Interlocking stackable design that keeps vehicle loading and storage orderly
• Lightweight construction that reduces handling fatigue during repeated trips
• Simple latch-and-seal closure with no specialist knowledge required to operate
• Robust polypropylene shell that handles the routine knocks of a working environment

It is worth being clear about the limitations. This is a passive carrier — it relies entirely on the insulation and the retained heat of the food loaded into it. It is not a substitute for active holding equipment where temperature must be maintained over extended periods, particularly in cold ambient conditions or where delays between loading and service are likely. For longer holding windows or higher-volume runs, an active holding solution or a larger-capacity passive carrier may be more appropriate.

This model suits smaller operations or those with straightforward point-to-point delivery requirements. Sites moving larger volumes, running multiple drops, or requiring several pans per journey may find a higher-capacity carrier better matched to their service pattern.

If you are unsure whether this fits alongside your current holding and transport setup, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

The Cambro Versa Dish Caddy is a free-standing plate storage and transport trolley designed to hold round plates up to 241mm in diameter across five columns. It can also be reconfigured to carry smaller square plates across four or five columns, which makes it a practical option for operations running mixed crockery without needing separate storage solutions for each format. A vinyl cover is included as standard to keep plated stacks protected and hygienic between service periods.

In a working dishwash area, the open-column layout allows plates to be loaded and unloaded quickly without awkward manoeuvring — important when a team is turning covers at pace and every second in the wash cycle matters. Moulded handles at each end support controlled two-person transport when the caddy is fully loaded. Front swivel castors with a brake allow precise positioning at the pass or service station, while the larger rear wheels assist with movement across the kitchen floor.

• Polyethylene construction resists rust, cracking, denting, and chipping under regular commercial use
• Swivel castors with brake for controlled positioning in service areas
• Open-access column design for rapid plate loading and unloading
• Vinyl cover included to maintain plate hygiene between services
• Moulded end handles support safe two-person movement when fully laden

This caddy is well suited to mid- and high-volume operations — banqueting kitchens, hotel restaurants, contract catering facilities, and busy restaurant dishwash areas where crockery throughput is high and storage needs to be mobile. Its value lies in that mobility: shifting loaded plates efficiently from the wash area to the pass rather than replacing static shelving. Operations running significantly larger plate formats, or those integrating multiple caddies into a wider transport system, should confirm that the column configuration suits their full workflow before ordering.

If you would like to talk through whether this caddy fits your plate sizes or service pattern, the team is happy to help.

The Cambro BC340KD480 is a three-shelf general-purpose utility cart built for the day-to-day movement of goods, equipment, and serviceware across commercial kitchen environments. Constructed with aluminium uprights and lightly textured polypropylene shelves in a speckled grey finish, it is designed to handle the kind of sustained, repetitive use common in food service operations without deteriorating quickly. The knock-down design means it ships flat and assembles without tools — practical for sites receiving deliveries in restricted spaces or where storage between uses matters.

In operation, the cart performs reliably as a transit and storage solution during both service and prep. The shelf configuration accepts a full-size dish rack or two standard bus boxes side by side, making it genuinely useful across pot wash areas, dry goods movement, linen duties, and general back-of-house organisation. Marine rails on each shelf help prevent items shifting during movement across uneven kitchen floors or through swing doors — something that matters considerably over the course of a busy service.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Aluminium uprights provide a stable, rigid frame under sustained load
• Non-marking castors run quietly on hard kitchen floors
• Marine shelf rails reduce item movement and spillage during transit
• Optional shelf panels available to enclose shelves on two or three sides
• Knock-down construction simplifies storage and flat-pack delivery

As a free-standing mobile unit, the cart requires no installation. For operations where trolleys are regularly used on ramps, across significant floor level changes, or under genuinely heavy industrial loads, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty specification would be more appropriate. For cold-store environments specifically, check castor and material compatibility before committing.

This cart is well suited to cafés, contract catering operations, school kitchens, care homes, and mid-sized restaurant back-of-house environments where a dependable everyday trolley is needed without the cost of a fabricated stainless unit. If you would like to talk through whether this configuration suits your operation, we are happy to help before you place an order.

The Cambro BC331KD480 is a three-shelf general-purpose service cart built for everyday transport duties across catering, hospitality, and food service environments. Polypropylene shelving sits on aluminium uprights, keeping the overall unit manageable in weight while maintaining enough structural rigidity to carry meaningful loads reliably across a full shift.

In a working kitchen or servery, a cart justifies its place through quiet, consistent daily performance. The lightly textured shelf surfaces and marine-edge rails on all three levels help keep items stable when staff are moving at pace between areas — particularly useful during busy service periods when care is not always possible. The swivel castors are designed to run quietly and leave no marks on flooring, which matters in front-of-house areas or anywhere staff are moving between hard and soft floor surfaces.

• Marine-edge rails on all three shelves reduce the risk of items shifting in transit
• Quiet, non-marking castors suitable for dining areas and mixed floor surfaces
• Aluminium uprights provide structural stability without unnecessary added weight
• Knock-down construction allows compact storage when the cart is not in use
• Textured shelf surfaces help keep loads secure during movement

The knock-down design is a practical consideration for sites where storage space is limited between services. The cart breaks down without tools and stows in a fraction of the footprint of an assembled unit. There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. As with any castored equipment, performance on heavily uneven or damaged flooring may vary, and it is worth assessing underfoot conditions in the intended area before committing.

This cart is well suited to hotels, contract catering operations, school canteens, care homes, and similar settings where a dependable general-purpose transport solution is needed day to day. It is not designed for heavy industrial applications or environments requiring specialist containment. Sites with significantly higher load demands or more complex logistics may find a heavier-duty configuration better suited to their needs.

If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Cambro TC1418401 is a self-contained mobile cart designed to consolidate trays and flatware into a single, organised unit at a self-service station. It combines a tray storage section with eight clear Camwear food pans sized to hold cutlery, napkins, and non-perishable condiments, keeping everything within easy reach of customers moving along a servery line. A vinyl cover is included to protect the contents when the station is closed or between sittings.

In practice, this type of unit earns its place in cafeterias, staff canteens, school dining halls, and healthcare catering environments where an orderly service point makes a genuine difference during busy periods. Bringing trays and ancillary items together in one mobile unit reduces clutter at the servery, cuts down the number of separate trolleys staff need to manage, and makes restocking more straightforward between meal services.

The practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• Trays and accessories combined in one unit, keeping the servery tidy under pressure
• Clear Camwear pans allow staff and customers to identify contents at a glance
• Vinyl cover maintains hygiene and protects contents when the station is not in use
• No tools required to restock or reposition between sittings
• No fixed installation needed, making it suitable for flexible or changing servery layouts

As a free-standing, non-powered unit there are no electrical, gas, or water connections to arrange. It should be positioned on a level, stable floor surface with sufficient clearance for customers to access the tray stack comfortably. It is worth confirming that the cart fits your servery configuration before ordering, as aisle widths and counter arrangements vary considerably between sites.

This cart is well suited to medium-volume self-service operations. Very high-throughput environments, or sites with unusually constrained servery space, may find a different configuration more practical. If you are setting up or reconfiguring a self-service station and want to talk through whether this unit suits your layout, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Cambro ICS125L191 is a large-capacity mobile ice caddy designed for commercial foodservice environments where ice needs to be stored hygienically, held in good condition throughout a shift, and moved between production and service points reliably. It is a passive insulated unit — no electrical or plumbing connections required — built from polyethylene with thick foam insulation to maintain ice quality under sustained daily use.

In practice, a caddy like this sits at the centre of ice-handling workflows. It receives ice directly from the machine, keeps it accessible during service, and travels between prep areas and bars or service counters as demand requires. The sliding lid is a well-considered detail: rather than lifting clear and being set down on a wet surface, it slides back and tucks beneath the body of the unit, keeping the lid off worksurfaces, reducing clutter during busy service, and lowering cross-contamination risk at the same time. A recessed drain shelf elevates ice above meltwater, which helps maintain quality as the caddy works through a long shift and reduces the chance of staff scooping watery ice at the wrong moment.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages are:

• Polyethylene construction resists cracking, denting and chipping under heavy daily use
• Sliding lid removes a loose component and reduces cross-contamination risk
• Recessed drain shelf keeps ice separated from meltwater throughout service
• Heavy-duty front casters and large rear wheels support movement when fully loaded
• Moulded handles and recessed front grip allow safe manoeuvring in tighter spaces

Because this unit requires no connections, placement is straightforward. That said, at full capacity it is a substantial load to move, and any site planning to route it regularly between areas should consider floor surfaces, any changes in level, and whether the path between the ice machine and service point is practical under load.

This caddy is well suited to high-volume bars, hotel food and beverage operations, event catering setups, and any site producing ice centrally and distributing it across multiple service points. Smaller operations with lower daily ice throughput may find a reduced-capacity model more manageable. Where volume is high enough that a single caddy creates a bottleneck, running two units is often a more practical solution than moving up to a significantly larger container.

If you would like to talk through whether this capacity fits your ice machine output or your typical service pattern, the team is happy to work through that with you.

The Cambro ICS100L191 is a portable ice caddy designed for commercial kitchens, bars, and catering operations that need to move and store large quantities of ice away from a fixed ice machine. The body is constructed from polyethylene with foam insulation throughout, keeping ice in a usable condition for extended periods without refrigeration during short-term holding. The sliding lid is a practical design detail — rather than lifting a cover clear of the unit, it slides back and under the caddy, staying out of the way during scooping and avoiding the need to set it down on a potentially unclean surface.

In a busy service environment, ice caddies take real punishment. The polyethylene construction resists the cracking, chipping, and denting that can affect alternatives when a caddy is moved across kitchen floors multiple times a day. The recessed interior drain shelf keeps ice elevated above meltwater, which extends holding time and means operators are scooping clean ice rather than working through an ice-water mix mid-service. Heavy-duty front castors and rear wheels make shifting a fully loaded unit manageable for one person.

• Sliding lid clears the opening without being lifted free, reducing contamination risk
• Recessed drain shelf keeps ice above meltwater throughout service
• Polyethylene body resists cracking and denting under daily commercial use
• Castors and rear wheels allow one-person movement when fully loaded
• Ready to use on delivery — no assembly required

This caddy is well suited to kitchens, bars, and event catering operations that need a reliable, mobile ice store to bridge the gap between an ice machine and the point of use — particularly where the machine is positioned away from the service station, or where ice needs to reach a different area. For very high-volume sites or operations supplying ice across several service areas simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity unit or multiple caddies would better support throughput.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your setup, or how it sits alongside your existing ice machine, we are happy to talk it through before you go ahead.

The Cambro UPCS400 is a front-loading insulated food carrier built for the safe transport of hot or cold food in commercial catering operations. Constructed from polypropylene with foam insulation throughout the body, it accepts full 1/1 GN pans and holds 57 litres — making it a practical choice for prepared food transport, banqueting runs, event catering, and cook-chill distribution.

In busy service conditions, the front-loading door earns its keep. Staff can access pans without lifting lids or working through stacked contents, which matters when loading and unloading needs to happen quickly. The removable door gasket provides a reliable airtight seal and can be taken out for thorough cleaning — an important practical point for any site operating under HACCP-based food safety procedures, where traceability of cleaning is expected.

Practical points worth noting before ordering:

• Front-loading access allows pan retrieval without disturbing stacked loads
• Removable gasket supports thorough cleaning and allergen control compliance
• Accepts full 1/1 GN pans, compatible with standard catering equipment
• Blue colour coding supports temperature or allergen segregation protocols on busy sites
• Compatible with a Cambro dolly for easier movement across venues or service areas

At 21.1kg empty, this is a substantial unit. Loaded with food and pans, the weight increases considerably, which is worth factoring in where staff will be moving carriers regularly or where manual handling assessments are in place. For lower-volume needs or lighter-duty transport, smaller-capacity carriers may be more appropriate. For high-volume operations running multiple simultaneous deliveries, it is worth thinking through how many units are needed in rotation to avoid bottlenecks at the point of loading.

This carrier is well suited to contract caterers, event teams, care homes, schools, and any operation regularly moving prepared food away from the main kitchen. The blue finish works particularly well on sites where colour coding by food type, temperature, or allergen category is part of the day-to-day kitchen management system.

If you are working out the right number of units for your service volumes, or want to confirm compatibility with your existing GN pan configuration, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Cambro Ultra Camcart is a large-format insulated food transport carrier designed for commercial catering operations where food needs to move reliably between a central production kitchen and a remote service point — whether that is an event venue, satellite location, healthcare ward, or delivery vehicle. Built from polypropylene with polyurethane foam insulation, it loads from the front and seals via a removable airtight gasket, maintaining temperature integrity throughout the journey.

In practice, this carrier is most commonly used by contract caterers, event hospitality teams, school meal services, and healthcare catering operations where consistency of food temperature across a transit run is a compliance requirement as much as a quality one. The front-loading design is a practical advantage during busy service turnarounds — containers can be retrieved without lifting or tilting the unit, which reduces handling time and the risk of spillage when working under pressure.

From an operational standpoint, the key characteristics worth considering are:

• Front-loading access speeds up loading and unloading during tight service windows
• Removable gasket can be cleaned thoroughly and replaced when worn, extending service life
• Slate blue colour coding supports HACCP-based separation protocols across a fleet
• Accepts 1/1 GN full-size containers, compatible with standard combi and gastronorm kit
• Designed for use with a compatible dolly, avoiding the need to carry the unit when loaded

At 39kg unladen, this is a substantial piece of kit. It should always be used with a dolly rather than carried manually once loaded. Before purchasing, it is worth checking access routes, doorway widths, and lift dimensions across your site to confirm the unit will move freely. It is built for hot holding and transit rather than oven loading, so it should not be used as an oven-to-table unit in a direct-heat context.

The Camcart is well suited to mid- to large-scale transport requirements. Smaller operations moving fewer containers at a time may find a lower-capacity carrier more practical and easier to handle. For very high-volume distribution sites with frequent multi-unit runs, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity option may be worth considering.

If you are working out how many units you need across a transport run, or want to check dolly compatibility with your existing kit, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Cambro Ultra Camcart is a large-format, foam-insulated food transport carrier built to move bulk quantities of hot or cold food safely between preparation areas, serveries, and offsite locations. Constructed from polypropylene with polyethylene insulation, it holds food at safe serving temperatures during transit or extended service periods without any active heating or refrigeration — a practical requirement for many high-volume operations.

These carriers are regularly used in contract catering, event catering, school meal delivery, healthcare hospitality, and banqueting, where large volumes of plated or bulk food need to travel reliably and arrive in good condition. The front-loading design allows straightforward loading and access, and the airtight removable gasket maintains a secure seal throughout transit. The carrier is rated to 120°C, so it can accept food directly from oven output without risk of distortion — a useful consideration when working at pace during service.

Key operational advantages include:

• Passive insulation maintains food temperatures without powered equipment
• Front-loading access allows efficient loading at height without awkward manoeuvring
• Removable gasket simplifies cleaning and allows straightforward replacement over time
• Compatible with dolly units to ease movement across kitchens and loading bays
• Polypropylene construction resists cracking under daily commercial use

At 62.2kg, this is a substantial unit even before loading. It is worth confirming in advance that your service corridors, loading bay, and vehicle access can accommodate its footprint. A matching dolly is strongly recommended — moving a fully loaded carrier of this size without one is not practical. For tighter spaces or lower volumes, a more compact camcart may be a better fit; for very high-volume central production kitchens, a higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.

This carrier is well suited to mid-to-large scale catering operations where bulk food transport is a regular part of the service model — particularly contract caterers, event teams, and healthcare or education catering providers who need dependable temperature retention without a powered solution.

If you are weighing up whether this size is right for your service volumes and transport setup, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

The Cambro UPCH4002 is a portable heated food carrier built for commercial operations that need to hold and transport hot food away from a fixed kitchen. Constructed from rotomoulded polyethylene with expanded polypropylene insulation throughout, it is a self-contained unit capable of maintaining food at safe serving temperatures for extended periods without any power connection. When a mains supply is available, the active heating element extends the holding window further and supports recovery between loads — useful for events where socket access is intermittent rather than continuous.

In practice, this carrier suits the demands of outside catering, hospitality events, school meal delivery, and welfare catering. The insulation carries the load when no power is available, and the built-in humidity vent gives operators control over moisture levels inside — a useful detail when holding foods that can soften or sweat during transit. The unit performs consistently across a full service period without requiring constant attention.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Accepts full-size 1/1 GN pans as well as 1/2 and 1/3 GN configurations
• One-piece rotomoulded construction with no seams to trap food debris
• Moulded-in handles support safe two-person lifting when fully loaded
• Single-action nylon latch allows fast access during busy service
• Colour-coded blue variant supports allergen or menu category segregation

Installation requirements are straightforward — the unit connects to a standard 13A socket when active heating is needed and requires no fixed installation or specialist connection. It is worth confirming that your serving location has a suitable outlet if you intend to use the heating function rather than relying on passive insulation alone. At just over 20kg empty, treat this as a two-person lift once loaded with pans.

This carrier is well suited to outside caterers, event teams, contract caterers supplying multiple sites, and any operation that needs reliable hot food holding without a fixed servery. For single-event use at modest volumes, a smaller passive carrier may be sufficient. For permanent high-throughput holding in a fixed kitchen, a freestanding or countertop heated holding cabinet would be a more appropriate solution.

If you would like to talk through whether this model fits your service pattern or pan configuration before placing an order, our team is happy to help.

The Cambro glassrack extender is a full-size, half-drop add-on designed to sit on top of a compatible 25-compartment glassrack. By increasing the usable depth of the rack, it allows operators to accommodate taller stemware, pint glasses, or other larger glassware that would not fit safely within a standard-height rack alone.

In a busy bar or kitchen environment, mismatched racking is a common source of breakages and inefficient glasswasher loading. This extender solves that directly — rather than forcing staff to load oversized glasses at an angle or leave them out of the wash cycle, the extended height gives each compartment the clearance needed to hold the glass upright and secure throughout the wash.

• Extends rack height for taller glassware without replacing the base rack
• Keeps glasses upright during washing, reducing the risk of breakage
• Lightweight polypropylene construction — easy to handle and stack
• Maintains the 25-compartment layout for consistent, organised loading
• Compatible with standard full-size Cambro glassrack systems

Being polypropylene, the extender is lightweight and resistant to the hot, wet conditions inside a commercial glasswasher. It adds minimal overhead to the rack weight, which matters when staff are handling multiple racks during a busy service. It is also straightforward to clean down at the end of a shift.

This extender is well suited to bars, hotels, event catering operations, and any site running a mix of glassware sizes through a standard rack-type glasswasher. It is worth confirming that your existing Cambro rack system is compatible before ordering — if you are unsure, the team is happy to advise.

This is a clear polycarbonate lid designed to cover a half-size food pan in the long orientation. Made from Cambro's Camwear polycarbonate, it provides a firm, hygienic seal over standard half gastronorm-compatible pans used across prep tables, reach-in refrigerators, and walk-in cold rooms.

In day-to-day kitchen use, a reliable pan lid does more than keep food covered. It helps maintain product quality between service periods, reduces the risk of cross-contamination between adjacent pans, and supports the kind of consistent food hygiene practice that underpins HACCP-based kitchen management. The clear polycarbonate construction means contents are visible at a glance without having to lift the lid, which is a small but practical advantage during a busy service when speed of stock checks matters.

Key practical advantages of this lid include:

• Clear polycarbonate allows at-a-glance identification of pan contents
• Suitable for use in refrigerated storage and cold prep environments
• Supports HACCP food hygiene practices by minimising cross-contamination risk
• Compatible with commercial dishwashers for straightforward cleaning
• Polycarbonate construction offers durability through regular commercial use

There are no particular installation requirements for a lid of this type, but it is worth confirming that your existing pans are standard half-size in the long format before ordering. Pan and lid compatibility across different manufacturers is not always guaranteed, and a mismatch in pan depth or rim profile can affect how securely the lid seats. If you are building out a full set of pans and lids, it is worth standardising on a single system.

This lid is well suited to any commercial kitchen already using Cambro Camwear half-size food pans, or any operation looking to introduce a consistent, dishwasher-safe storage system across prep and cold holding areas. If you have questions about pan and lid compatibility with your current setup, our team is happy to help you work through it before you order.
