Clearing Trolleys

This is a compact two-tier clearing trolley from Vogue, constructed throughout in stainless steel. It is designed for moving crockery, glassware, trays and general kitchen items between the floor and the pass, or between the dining area and the wash station. The two-shelf design keeps loads separated and stable during transit, and the all-stainless construction means it can be wiped down or hosed off as part of a routine cleaning regime.

In a working kitchen or dining environment, a clearing trolley like this earns its keep during busy service periods when staff need to clear tables and return items to the kitchen quickly without making multiple trips. The rated capacity of 128kg across the two shelves provides a meaningful working load for a trolley of this footprint, making it practical for stacking plates, piling trays, or moving a mix of items in a single journey. The relatively low self-weight of 9.3kg means it is easy to manoeuvre even when loaded.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean
• Two-tier layout separates loads and reduces the risk of breakages
• Compact footprint suits tighter floor plans and narrower service corridors
• Solid rated capacity supports meaningful loads without multiple trips
• Lightweight enough to be handled comfortably by a single member of staff

This trolley suits smaller cafés, hotel breakfast operations, pub dining rooms, and back-of-house clearing in any site where corridor and storage space is limited. It is not intended for heavy porter or bulk-transport duties; for higher-volume operations or heavier loads, a larger-format trolley would be the more appropriate choice. No utilities connections are required — it simply needs a clear floor space to operate safely.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your operation or want to talk through the options, our team is happy to help.

The Vogue medium three-tier clearing trolley is a straightforward, practical piece of front- and back-of-house equipment built from stainless steel throughout. It provides three open shelves for stacking crockery, glassware, trays, and serving ware, with handrails at both ends to allow it to be pushed or pulled through service areas and into wash-up without awkward repositioning.

In busy restaurant and hotel environments, clearing trolleys like this take a great deal of daily abuse — loaded repeatedly at pace, pushed across uneven floors, and cleaned down with commercial chemicals. The stainless steel construction holds up well under that kind of continuous use and meets the hygiene standards expected in commercial and institutional catering. At a rated capacity of 128kg spread across three shelves, it handles a full complement of plates and covers without the frame flexing or the shelves bowing under load.

From an operational standpoint, a trolley of this type earns its place in the workflow by reducing the number of trips between the dining room and wash-up, keeping service areas tidier during peak periods, and giving kitchen porters a stable, easy-to-clean platform to work from. Key practical points include:

• Three-tier shelf layout allows separation of crockery types or service items
• Handrails at both ends make it easy to manoeuvre in narrow corridor runs
• Stainless steel surfaces clean down quickly and resist chemical cleaners
• Sturdy frame suited to repeated heavy loading during busy service
• No assembly complexities — straightforward to put into immediate use

This is a medium-format trolley, which suits most standard restaurant, hotel dining, or institutional settings. For particularly high-volume operations clearing large tables continuously across extended service periods, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller cafés or limited back-of-house space, a more compact option may prove easier to manoeuvre.

If you are unsure which size or configuration best fits your service flow, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

This is a mid-sized two-tier clearing trolley constructed throughout in stainless steel, designed to handle the routine demands of crockery, glassware, and food waste clearance in commercial food service environments. It is a straightforward, well-built piece of mobile equipment intended to move cleared loads efficiently between a dining area and a wash-up or disposal point.

In practice, a trolley of this size suits restaurants, hotel dining rooms, staff canteens, and similar operations where a reasonable volume of covers is being cleared across a service period. The two-tier layout allows operators to separate items sensibly — for example, crockery on one shelf and glassware on another — which reduces breakage risk during transit and helps with sorting at the wash-up end. With a combined load capacity of 128kg across both shelves, it handles a substantial clear without needing multiple trips.

Stainless steel construction is the practical choice for this type of equipment. It withstands repeated cleaning, resists the humidity of a working kitchen or washing area, and does not retain food odours. The handrails at both ends allow the trolley to be pushed or pulled depending on the layout of the space, which is a small but useful detail in tighter service corridors.

• Stainless steel resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean down after service
• Two-tier shelving allows separation of items during clearance runs
• Handrails at both ends suit varied corridor and room layouts
• 128kg total load capacity supports substantial clearance volumes
• Compact footprint relative to load capacity suits moderate-sized dining rooms

It is worth considering the dimensions carefully against your service corridor widths and doorway openings before ordering. This is the medium variant in the range — if your operation runs a high volume of covers across back-to-back sittings, or requires a trolley that can carry significantly more in a single run, a larger-capacity model may be worth discussing.

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

This is a five-shelf stainless steel clearing trolley designed for moving items around a commercial kitchen or front-of-house environment. It works equally well for clearing tables, transporting plated dishes, moving linen, or shifting cleaning supplies between areas. The all-stainless construction keeps it practical in environments where hygiene and durability both matter.

In day-to-day service, a trolley like this earns its keep quickly. It reduces the number of individual trips between the kitchen, service areas, and washup, which helps keep the floor clear and speeds up turnaround during busy periods. The lipped edges on each shelf help retain items during movement and contain any spills before they reach the floor, which is a useful safety detail in a working kitchen.

• All-stainless construction wipes clean easily and withstands regular use
• Lipped shelf edges retain items and contain spilt liquids
• Four castors with two brakes allow controlled positioning on uneven or sloped floors
• Arrives flat-packed for straightforward self-assembly
• Suitable for a wide range of loads including crockery, glassware, linen, and supplies

The trolley runs on four castors, two of which lock, giving you stable positioning once it reaches its destination. This is particularly useful in areas with a slight slope or where the trolley needs to stay put while being loaded or unloaded. Assembly is straightforward and requires no specialist tools.

It's well suited to hotels, restaurants, pubs, care homes, and contract catering operations. It works well both front-of-house for service and clearing, and back-of-house for shifting supplies and equipment. If your operation handles very high clearing volumes or requires a trolley with a significantly higher load rating, it may be worth looking at heavier-duty alternatives within the range.

The Craven three-tier clearing trolley is a straightforward, well-built piece of service equipment designed for moving crockery, glassware, and general items around a commercial kitchen, restaurant floor, or hospitality environment. Constructed from stainless steel throughout, it offers the durability and ease of cleaning that busy catering operations require. The three fixed shelves provide organised storage across multiple levels, keeping loads distributed and stable during transit.

In practice, this type of trolley earns its keep during service clearance and turnaround between covers. Having a dedicated clearing trolley reduces the number of trips staff make between the floor and the wash-up area, which adds up across a busy service. The stainless steel construction stands up well to the damp conditions typical of clearing and washing environments, and it won't deteriorate in the way that painted or plastic alternatives can over time.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• Fixed shelves mean the configuration cannot be adjusted to suit unusually tall items
• At 50kg rated capacity, it handles a full load of crockery comfortably across three levels
• The footprint is sizeable — check door widths and corridor clearances before purchasing
• Stainless steel construction makes it straightforward to wipe down and maintain hygiene standards
• Suits both front-of-house clearing and back-of-house movement of kitchen goods

This trolley is a sensible choice for restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and staff canteens where staff are regularly moving cleared items from table to wash-up. For very high-volume operations with heavier or bulkier loads, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty model with a higher rated capacity would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your operation, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

This is a large, three-tier clearing trolley from Vogue, constructed throughout in stainless steel. It is designed to move crockery, glassware, trays, and general service items between the front of house and wash-up or kitchen areas efficiently and safely. The three-shelf layout provides good load distribution, allowing staff to sort and stack items by type as they clear tables rather than creating a single unstable pile.

In practice, a trolley of this size earns its place in medium to high-volume operations — restaurants, banqueting suites, hotel dining rooms, canteens, and similar environments where clearing speed directly affects table turnaround. The stainless steel construction handles the knocks, spills, and daily cleaning that come with continuous service use, and the material is straightforward to wipe down at the end of each shift.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:

• Three tiers allow organised sorting of items as tables are cleared
• 128kg rated capacity supports a full load of crockery and glassware without flex
• Stainless steel finish resists corrosion and stands up to commercial cleaning chemicals
• Large footprint suits open dining rooms and wide service corridors
• Straightforward construction means no specialist maintenance requirements

It is worth considering the overall dimensions before ordering. The trolley is designed for larger operations and needs adequate corridor width and lift access if it is to move between floors. In tighter front-of-house layouts or smaller cafés, a compact two-tier or smaller three-tier model may be more practical to manoeuvre during a busy service.

This trolley is best suited to mid-to-large hospitality and catering venues where volume clearing is a daily requirement. Smaller sites or those with restricted access routes may find a lighter or more compact alternative a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your operation or want to talk through the options, the team is happy to help you work it out before you place an order.

The Craven three-tier clearing trolley is a straightforward, well-built clearing and transport solution designed for food service environments. Constructed from aluminium with enamelled removable trays on three levels, it provides a practical means of clearing tables, transporting crockery, and moving service items between the floor and the wash-up area. Brakes on the castors keep the trolley stationary when loading or unloading, which matters when working on smooth or slightly uneven surfaces.

In a working hospitality environment, a reliable clearing trolley earns its place quickly. The aluminium construction keeps the overall weight manageable given the three-tier format, which helps staff manoeuvre it through service areas without excessive effort. The removable enamelled trays simplify cleaning at the end of service — trays can be lifted clear, wiped down, or washed separately rather than requiring the whole unit to be taken to a sink area.

• Three tiers provide good capacity for clearing multiple covers in a single run
• Removable trays speed up end-of-service cleaning routines
• Braked castors improve stability during loading and unloading
• Aluminium frame keeps the unit light enough for easy manoeuvring
• Enamelled tray surfaces resist staining and are straightforward to wipe clean

This trolley suits restaurants, hotels, staff canteens, and similar hospitality settings where regular table clearing is part of the service routine. It is a practical mid-size option — sites with very high cover volumes or those running continuous clearing across large dining rooms may want to consider a heavier-duty or larger-format alternative. For smaller operations or tighter service areas, it is a well-proportioned choice.

If you are unsure whether this model fits your service volume or floor plan, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

This is a large two-tier clearing trolley from Vogue, constructed throughout in stainless steel. It is designed for removing crockery, glassware, and general service items from dining areas or pass areas quickly and efficiently, reducing the number of trips made by floor staff during and after service.

In busy front-of-house environments, a well-built clearing trolley makes a genuine difference to service flow. The two-shelf layout allows staff to sort items as they clear — crockery to one level, glassware to another, for example — which speeds up returns to the pot wash and reduces breakages from overloaded carries. The trolley's rated load capacity means it handles a full clear of a large table or section without issue, and the stainless steel construction stands up to the knocks and moisture typical of a commercial dining environment.

Practical benefits for day-to-day operation include:

• Handrails at both ends allow pushing or pulling from either direction
• Stainless steel construction is easy to wipe down and resists corrosion
• Two tiers support sorted loading, reducing breakages and speeding up the wash cycle
• Suitable for restaurants, hotels, staff canteens, and institutional catering

No installation is required. The trolley is a freestanding item and needs no fixings or utilities. It is worth confirming that doorway widths, service lifts, and corridor access in your venue are adequate before ordering, particularly in older buildings or tighter layouts where aisle clearance can be a practical constraint.

This size is well suited to mid-sized to larger operations with table service or a high volume of covers. For smaller venues or tighter spaces, a more compact trolley may be a better fit; for very high-volume clearing — large banqueting or contract catering settings — it is worth considering whether a deeper or higher-capacity alternative would suit your throughput better.

If you are unsure which trolley configuration fits your layout or service style, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Craven self clearing trolley is a straightforward, robust piece of front-of-house equipment designed to move used trays and tableware efficiently from service areas or dining rooms back to the wash-up. Built from epoxy-coated steel, it holds up to 20 trays in a stacked, slotted arrangement and is a common sight in school canteens, staff restaurants, hospital dining rooms, and welfare catering operations.

In practice, a well-placed clearing trolley like this one significantly reduces the number of journeys staff make between the dining area and the kitchen. During busy lunch or dinner service, that time saving adds up — staff can focus on front-of-house duties rather than constantly ferrying individual loads. The high-quality castors allow the trolley to move smoothly when fully loaded, which matters on busy floors where quick, controlled movement is important.

Key practical advantages include:

• Epoxy-coated steel frame resists knocks and is straightforward to wipe down
• Accommodates a useful range of standard tray sizes
• High-quality castors support smooth movement when loaded
• Open construction makes cleaning and inspection quick
• Steel build handles daily commercial use without deterioration

This trolley is a passive piece of equipment — no utilities, ventilation, or installation work required. The main practical consideration is floor space: at over a metre wide when loaded, you need enough corridor and doorway clearance for it to pass through comfortably. It is worth confirming your tray dimensions fall within the compatible range before ordering, as tray sizing varies between suppliers.

This model suits moderate-volume operations clearing 20 trays per run. For larger dining operations turning over higher volumes continuously, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering. It is not typically suited to very small cafés or settings where a lighter, smaller trolley would be more practical.

If you are unsure whether this capacity is right for your dining volumes or tray sizes, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

The Vogue 16-shelf tray clearing trolley is a straightforward piece of mobile equipment designed to collect and transport food trays efficiently in self-service environments. Built from stainless steel throughout, it provides 16 individual shelf slots spaced to accommodate standard food service trays, allowing large volumes of used trays to be gathered in a single pass of the dining area.

In busy cafeteria and canteen settings, the ability to clear tables quickly between service periods keeps the dining space presentable and reduces bottlenecks. A trolley of this capacity means fewer trips between the floor and the wash area, which has a noticeable impact on workflow during peak lunch or dinner sittings. The stainless steel construction holds up well under the knocks and moisture typical of a busy clearing environment and wipes down easily between uses.

Practically, the trolley offers a number of advantages for day-to-day service operations:

• Four castors provide smooth movement across tiled or hard flooring
• Two braked castors allow the trolley to be parked securely at a collection point or wash station
• Stainless steel shelving is easy to wipe down and resistant to moisture and food debris
• Flat-pack delivery with assembly instructions keeps delivery practical for most sites

There are no electrical, gas, or water connections required. The trolley arrives flat packed and requires basic self-assembly before use. It is worth confirming that your service corridors, lift dimensions, and wash area access are compatible with the overall footprint before ordering.

This trolley is well suited to staff canteens, school dining rooms, hospital catering operations, and cafeteria-style restaurants with moderate to high tray volumes. For very high-volume sites clearing trays continuously across multiple sittings, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your service volume or floor layout, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

This Craven tray clearing trolley provides seven shelf levels for collecting and transporting used trays, crockery, and glassware between the service area and the wash station. It is constructed from epoxy-coated steel with a fully welded frame, giving it the structural rigidity needed for everyday use in busy canteen and cafeteria environments.

The shelf spacing is generous enough to accommodate taller items such as latte mugs, cafetieres, and larger bowls — a practical consideration in food-to-go operations and hospitality settings where standard-height trolleys often fall short. Seven levels offer a reasonable clearing capacity per run, reducing the number of trips staff need to make during or between service periods.

Key operational points worth noting:

• Seven shelf levels provide good capacity per trolley run
• Shelf spacing suits taller items including latte mugs and large bowls
• Fully welded steel frame resists racking under load
• Epoxy coating offers reasonable durability in wet clearing environments
• Straightforward to wipe down between service periods

At just over 16kg unloaded, the trolley is manageable for front-of-house staff to manoeuvre, though the overall height means it should be used on level flooring to maintain stability when fully loaded. It is worth confirming the trolley will pass comfortably through any internal doorways or service hatches relevant to your layout before ordering.

This trolley is well suited to staff canteens, cafeterias, healthcare catering, and education catering operations with moderate clearing volumes. For higher-volume sites running continuous service, a wider or higher-capacity model may be worth considering. If you are unsure which configuration fits your service flow, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat self-clearing cafeteria trolley is a stainless steel tray collection unit designed for use in canteens, staff restaurants, educational catering facilities, and similar high-footfall environments where used trays need to be gathered efficiently from the servery or dining floor and returned to the wash area.

Built to accommodate up to 24 standard cafeteria trays loaded side by side, the trolley uses consistent shelf spacing to keep stacks stable during transit and minimises the handling required between collection and the dishwash station. The stainless steel construction holds up well under the daily demands of busy clearing operations — resistance to moisture, food soiling, and repeated cleaning is important in this type of role, and the material choice reflects that.

In practical terms, this type of trolley helps operations maintain a clean dining area through service without requiring repeated individual tray runs. Key operational advantages include:

• Consolidates tray clearing into fewer, more efficient trips
• Stainless steel construction withstands wet environments and repeated cleaning
• Compatible with standard cafeteria tray formats commonly found in UK operations
• Stable shelf configuration reduces spillage risk during transit
• Straightforward to clean down between service periods

No electrical or plumbing connection is required. The trolley is a free-standing mobile unit, so placement and routing will depend on your dining room layout and the distance between the dining floor and wash area. At 31kg unloaded, it is worth considering the loaded weight when fully stacked — approximately 120kg — and whether your kitchen access routes and flooring are suitable for that load on castors.

This trolley is well suited to medium-volume canteen and cafeteria operations. For very high-volume sites turning over trays continuously throughout a long service period, it may be worth discussing whether a higher-capacity or more heavy-duty option would better match your throughput requirements.

If you are fitting out a new cafeteria or replacing existing clearing equipment, the team is happy to talk through how this fits into your overall front-of-house workflow.

This is a compact, three-tier clearing trolley constructed from stainless steel throughout. It is designed to move crockery, glassware, and general catering items between service areas and the wash-up or kitchen, keeping front-of-house clear during and between services.

In a working catering environment, a well-specified clearing trolley saves time and reduces the number of trips staff need to make during busy periods. The three-tier layout gives a useful spread of capacity without the trolley becoming unwieldy, and the stainless steel construction holds up well under the daily wear of a commercial kitchen — resistant to cleaning chemicals and straightforward to wipe down between uses.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Three separate tiers for organised stacking and sorting during clearing
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles repeated cleaning
• Compact footprint suits tighter service corridors and smaller dining rooms
• Relatively lightweight at 11.8kg, manageable for most front-of-house staff
• Rated to a generous overall capacity, supporting a full load of crockery and glassware

As a smaller format trolley, this model is well suited to cafés, smaller restaurants, hotel breakfast operations, and staff canteens where service volumes are moderate and storage space is limited. For higher-volume operations running continuous back-to-back covers, a larger or heavier-duty trolley may be a more practical choice.

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

This Craven self clearing trolley is a straightforward, robust piece of equipment designed to move used trays efficiently from dining areas back to the kitchen or wash station. Built from epoxy-coated steel, it provides ten evenly spaced shelf levels, allowing staff to stack and transport a full complement of used trays in a single trip rather than making repeated journeys across the dining floor.

In practice, trolleys like this are a staple in schools, hospital canteens, staff restaurants, and similar high-volume self-service environments where tray return is a constant part of the service cycle. The ten-shelf configuration means clearing a busy section can be done quickly and with minimal disruption to diners still seated. The steel construction holds up well to daily use, and the castor-mounted base allows the trolley to be manoeuvred through standard doorways and along service corridors without difficulty.

• Reduces the number of trips required to clear a busy dining area
• Steel frame offers durability under daily commercial use
• Ten shelf levels accommodate a full service run in one load
• Castor-mounted base for easy movement between dining and wash areas
• Straightforward design keeps cleaning and maintenance simple

There are no special installation requirements — this trolley arrives ready to use and requires no electrical connection or fixed positioning. It is best suited to level or near-level flooring; heavily uneven surfaces or raised thresholds may affect handling. At 15kg unladen, it is manageable for most front-of-house staff.

This model is well suited to medium-sized canteen and cafeteria operations. Sites with significantly higher throughput or larger tray formats may benefit from a higher-capacity alternative, and we are happy to help you assess what works best for your setup.

If you are unsure whether this trolley suits your tray size or service volume, feel free to get in touch — it is the sort of question we can usually answer quickly.
