Craven Trolleys and Dollies

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Craven cutlery trolley is a straightforward, well-built piece of front-of-house equipment designed to store, transport, and distribute cutlery during service. Constructed from epoxy-coated steel, it accommodates two cutlery trays and is fitted with quality castors for easy movement across floor surfaces. It is a practical solution for operations that need to move cutlery between the wash area and the dining floor without relying on ad hoc carrying methods.

In busy service environments — banqueting suites, hotel restaurants, and function rooms in particular — having a dedicated cutlery trolley reduces the number of trips staff make between sections and keeps cutlery organised and accessible during setup and throughout service. The 40kg capacity means a full complement of cutlery for a substantial number of covers can be loaded and moved in a single run, which makes a meaningful difference during quick table turns.

From an operational standpoint, the benefits are largely practical:

• Reduces staff handling time when distributing cutlery pre-service
• Keeps cutlery contained and sorted during transit rather than loose in trays
• Epoxy coating provides a hygienic, cleanable surface that resists corrosion
• Castors allow movement across varied floor surfaces with minimal effort
• Frees up surface space in back-of-house during the post-wash stage

The trolley requires no installation — it arrives ready to use and needs no power, plumbing, or ventilation. It is worth checking floor surfaces and door widths in your venue, as some older properties have narrower service corridors that may affect manoeuvrability. The trolley is a sensible fit for mid-to-large dining operations; for very high-volume banqueting sites that require greater capacity or additional tray sections, a heavier-duty alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service setup or volume, our team is happy to talk through what would work best for your operation.

The Craven Two Tier Cutlery and Tray Dispense Trolley is a purpose-built dispensing unit designed for self-service and cafeteria-style operations. It provides a fixed, accessible point for tray and cutlery distribution at the start of a service counter, keeping the flow of customers orderly and the service area tidy. Construction is fully welded steel throughout, giving it the rigidity needed to withstand the day-to-day demands of a busy canteen or restaurant environment.

In practice, the two-tier layout works well because it separates trays and cutlery at a practical working height, reducing the time customers spend searching or staff spend restocking in an awkward position. The lower tier handles tray capacity, while the upper tier positions cutlery bins at a height that is comfortably reachable without bending or stretching. For sites running continuous service across a lunch peak, having a dedicated dispense point helps maintain throughput at the front of the queue.

Key operational advantages include:

• Fully welded steel frame — stable under load, resistant to racking over time
• Two-tier layout keeps trays and cutlery separated and accessible
• Cutlery bins positioned at an ergonomically sensible working height
• Straightforward to restock without disrupting the service line
• Compact footprint suits most standard cafeteria counter arrangements

This trolley requires no installation in the technical sense — it is a freestanding unit that simply needs a level floor and sufficient clearance for customers to access both tiers comfortably. Bear in mind that at 14.5kg unfilled, it is light enough to reposition between services if your layout changes, though it is not designed to be moved whilst loaded. For higher-volume sites serving significantly larger numbers simultaneously, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity alternative may be worth considering.

This unit is well suited to workplace canteens, school dining halls, hospital catering operations, and cafeteria-style restaurants where a clean, dedicated dispense point is needed at the start of the service run. Smaller operations with limited counter space may find the footprint a reasonable trade-off for the separation of function it provides.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your counter layout or service volume, we are happy to talk it through with you.

The Craven single tier cutlery and tray dispense trolley is a straightforward, purpose-built trolley designed for self-service areas where trays and cutlery need to be presented accessibly and kept replenished throughout service. It is constructed from epoxy-coated steel with a fully welded frame, giving it the rigidity needed for repeated daily loading and movement across kitchen and front-of-house environments.

In practice, this type of trolley is commonly found in staff canteens, school dining halls, hospital catering facilities, and cafeteria-style restaurants where queuing customers need to pick up trays and cutlery without assistance. The single-tier layout keeps the cutlery bin at a practical standing height, reducing the need for staff to bend or reach, and making restocking straightforward during a busy service period. With a capacity of 100 trays, it holds a reasonable volume for mid-sized operations without taking up excessive floor space.

Key operational advantages include:

• Fully welded steel construction resists racking and flexing under load
• Epoxy coating provides a cleanable, corrosion-resistant surface
• Single-tier design keeps cutlery bins at an ergonomic height for both customers and staff
• Straightforward layout makes restocking quick between service periods

At 12.6kg unloaded, the trolley is manageable to reposition as service layouts require. There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. It is worth checking the floor surface and route between the storage area and service point — fully loaded with trays it will be considerably heavier, so smooth, level flooring makes movement easier.

This trolley is well suited to canteen and cafeteria operations with moderate throughput. For very high-volume sites or where a larger tray capacity is needed, heavier-duty or multi-tier alternatives may be worth considering. If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service layout or tray volume, we are happy to talk it through.

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.

This is a four-tier, general purpose stainless steel trolley from Craven, fitted with braked castors for controlled positioning in busy service environments. It is a straightforward, practical piece of mobile storage and transport equipment used across a wide range of catering and food service settings.

In day-to-day kitchen use, a trolley of this type earns its place through sheer versatility. It handles everything from moving raw ingredient deliveries into prep areas to shifting plated dishes, equipment, crockery, and smallwares between kitchen sections. The four shelf levels give useful load distribution across a total capacity of 60kg, allowing operators to stack and separate items sensibly without overloading a single surface. Stainless steel construction stands up well to the demands of commercial use — spills, steam, heavy-handed stacking — and is straightforward to wipe down between services.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Four open shelf levels for flexible loading and easy visual access to contents
• Braked castors allow the trolley to be locked in position when loading or unloading
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is compatible with standard kitchen cleaning protocols
• Manoeuvrable enough for corridor and service area use in most commercial kitchens

No installation or utilities are required. The trolley arrives ready to use and needs only enough clear floor space to move and park safely. It is worth checking corridor widths and door clearances against the trolley's footprint before ordering, particularly in older or more compact kitchen layouts.

This trolley suits hotels, care homes, school catering operations, hospital kitchens, and general hospitality back-of-house use where reliable mobile storage is needed. It is a practical mid-size option — for operations requiring significantly higher load capacity or more shelf levels, heavier-duty alternatives are worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this trolley is the right fit for your workflow or space, our team is happy to help you think it through.

The Craven glass tray trolley is a straightforward, well-built unit designed to hold three standard 500mm dishwasher baskets, making it a practical solution for moving clean glassware from the wash area to the bar or service point. Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, it is built to withstand the wet, high-traffic conditions typical of a busy bar or back-of-house environment.

In a working bar or event venue, the time between glasses coming out of the washer and being available on the floor matters. A dedicated trolley like this keeps the workflow moving — baskets load straight from the dishwasher rack and the trolley rolls to wherever replenishment is needed, without staff handling individual glasses unnecessarily. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down at the end of service.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Keeps glassware organised and reduces breakage during transit
• Accepts standard 500mm dishwasher baskets directly, cutting handling time
• Stainless steel construction is hygienic, durable, and easy to clean
• Manoeuvrable enough for bar and cellar environments with limited space
• Reduces the number of trips between wash area and service point

It is worth noting that dishwasher baskets are not included — you will need compatible 500mm x 500mm racks. The trolley's footprint and height suit most standard bar back-of-house setups, though it is worth checking your corridor and doorway clearances before ordering.

This trolley is well suited to pubs, hotels, event caterers, and restaurants with a dedicated glass wash area. For very high-volume venues running multiple glass washers simultaneously, it may be worth considering whether additional units or a higher-capacity alternative would better support your operation.

If you are unsure whether this trolley suits your setup or want to discuss your glassware workflow more broadly, the team is happy to help.

The Craven dishwasher basket trolley is a freestanding stainless steel unit designed to store and transport standard 500x500mm dishwasher baskets within a commercial kitchen environment. It holds up to seven baskets in a vertical stack, keeping them organised, off the floor, and close to the wash area without consuming valuable worktop space.

In a busy kitchen, the movement of crockery and glassware through the wash cycle is a constant operational task. A dedicated basket trolley helps keep that workflow tidy and efficient, reducing the risk of baskets being left in walkways or stacked unsafely. The castors allow it to be repositioned as service demands shift — from pot wash to servery and back — without lifting or carrying.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Keeps dishwasher baskets stacked safely and off the floor
• Supports a cleaner, more organised wash area layout
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to wipe down and maintain
• Mobile design allows repositioning without manual lifting of baskets
• Reduces clutter and trip hazards during peak service periods

There are no electrical, gas, or water connections required. The trolley simply needs a clear floor area with enough overhead clearance for its full height when loaded. At 15.2kg unloaded, it is manageable to position during initial setup. It is worth confirming your existing dishwasher baskets conform to the standard 500x500mm size before ordering, as baskets outside that footprint will not sit correctly in the runners.

This trolley is well suited to mid-sized and larger kitchens — restaurants, hotels, contract catering operations, and staff canteens — where multiple baskets are in circulation at any one time. Smaller sites running just one or two baskets may find it more capacity than they need. For higher-volume operations handling significantly greater basket quantities, it is worth considering whether a larger or multi-bay solution would serve better.

If you are unsure whether this fits your wash area layout or basket specification, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Craven Dolly is a wheeled base unit designed to sit beneath a compatible Craven dispenser unit, converting a static piece of equipment into something that can be moved around the servery or kitchen floor without lifting. Constructed from chrome-plated wire, it keeps weight to a minimum while offering a rated load capacity of 60kg — sufficient for a loaded dispenser in a typical service environment.

In practice, this kind of mobility matters most in serveries and cafeterias where layout changes between service periods, or where cleaning teams need to move equipment away from walls and counters. Rather than wrestling with a fixed unit, staff can simply roll the dispenser clear, clean underneath, and return it to position. That ease of movement helps maintain hygiene standards without disrupting workflow or requiring additional manual handling effort.

• Adds mobility to an otherwise static dispenser unit
• Chrome-plated wire construction keeps the dolly itself lightweight
• 60kg load capacity handles a fully loaded dispenser
• Low-profile design keeps the overall unit height increase modest
• Simplifies cleaning routines by allowing the dispenser to be moved easily

This dolly is designed for use with the compatible Craven dispenser unit — it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering if you are working with a dispenser from a different range or generation. The unit is straightforward to position, but do ensure your floor surface is suitable for castors and that the combined height works within your servery layout.

It is best suited to cafeterias, school or workplace canteens, and hospital catering operations where dispensers are in regular use and flexibility of layout is useful. For sites running multiple dispenser units or needing heavier-duty mobility solutions, it is worth discussing your full setup before purchasing.

If you are unsure whether this dolly is the right fit for your dispenser unit or servery layout, our team is happy to talk it through.

This Craven five-tier trolley is a straightforward, fully welded stainless steel general purpose trolley designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens, back-of-house areas, and cleaning operations. It arrives ready to use with no assembly required, and the five-tier shelved construction provides organised, accessible storage across a compact footprint.

In a busy kitchen environment, a reliable trolley of this type earns its place quickly. It handles the kind of daily workload that a domestic or lightweight unit simply would not sustain — moving cleaning supplies between areas, transporting equipment, or keeping frequently used items organised and off worksurfaces. The fully welded construction means there are no loose joints or fittings to work loose over time, which matters in environments where trolleys take regular knocks and are cleaned down frequently.

Practical advantages worth noting:

• Fully welded stainless steel frame — robust and easy to wipe down
• Two braked castors for secure positioning when stationary
• Two swivel castors for manoeuvrability in tighter spaces
• No assembly required — ready for use immediately on delivery
• Five tiers provide good vertical storage without a large floor footprint

There are no water, gas, or electrical connections required. The main practical consideration is floor space — the trolley suits kitchens where there is reasonable corridor or storage room width. At 23.5kg unloaded and with a 60kg capacity, it is manageable for most back-of-house teams, though it is worth being mindful of that combined loaded weight on ramps or uneven surfaces.

This trolley is well suited to catering operations of most sizes — from smaller restaurant kitchens to contract catering and hospitality sites needing reliable, no-fuss utility trolleys. For sites requiring higher load capacity or additional shelving, heavier-duty alternatives are available within our range.

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

The Craven 3 Tier Stainless Steel Bussing Trolley is a straightforward, functional clearing and transport trolley designed for front-of-house and back-of-house use in busy catering operations. Built from stainless steel throughout, it provides three open shelves for stacking used crockery, cutlery, glassware, and trays during and after service, helping staff move items efficiently between dining areas and the wash station.

In practice, trolleys like this earn their keep during high-turnover service periods where table-clearing speed matters. The three-tier layout allows staff to sort loads as they go — plates on one shelf, side items on another — rather than piling everything together, which reduces the risk of breakages and makes unloading at the wash station quicker. The stainless steel construction holds up well to the demands of daily commercial use and is straightforward to wipe down between services.

Key practical points worth noting:

• Three open shelves for organised sorting during clearing
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and cleans easily
• Suitable for hotels, hospitals, school canteens, and contract catering
• Rated to a 120kg load capacity across the three tiers
• Manoeuvrable enough for standard service corridors and dining areas

At just over a metre wide, this trolley is well proportioned for most dining rooms, though it is worth checking corridor widths and door clearances before ordering, particularly in older buildings or tighter service areas. It is not designed for outdoor or uneven-surface use.

This trolley suits mid-volume operations where a reliable, no-frills clearing solution is needed. For very high-volume sites handling large banqueting or multi-room service, a heavier-duty or larger-format model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this trolley fits your operation or want to discuss your specific clearing and transport requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Craven 3 Tier Bussing Trolley is a straightforward, robust clearing and collection trolley designed for busy food service environments. Built from mild steel with an epoxy coating, it provides three open shelves suitable for stacking plates, carrying trays, or consolidating cutlery and crockery during service clearance. The epoxy finish offers reasonable resistance to the knocks and moisture typical of active service floors.

In practice, this type of trolley earns its keep in high-turnover environments where staff need to clear covers quickly without making repeated trips back to the kitchen or servery. The three-tier layout allows different categories of items to be separated during collection — reducing breakage and keeping the return journey organised. It moves easily between tables and service points, and the overall footprint is manageable in dining rooms and corridors of standard width.

Key practical points worth considering:

• Epoxy coating provides durability and ease of wiping down between services
• Three shelf levels allow separation of plates, cutlery, and glasses during clearing
• Suitable for use on smooth or lightly textured floor surfaces
• Well suited to dining volumes found in schools, care homes, hospital wards, and hotel restaurants
• Straightforward to manoeuvre through standard doorways given the overall dimensions

There are no electrical, gas, or water connections required — this is a purely manual piece of equipment. The main practical consideration is floor surface: this trolley is best suited to smooth or sealed floors rather than uneven or heavily textured surfaces. It is designed for indoor use and is not intended for outdoor or refrigerated environments. For very high-volume operations clearing large banqueting covers at pace, a heavier-duty or higher-capacity model may be worth considering.

This trolley is a reliable choice for catering operations that need a practical, everyday clearing solution without complication — schools, care facilities, hotel food service, and staff canteens are all typical environments where it performs consistently well.

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

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.

If you are unsure whether this trolley suits your wash area layout or throughput, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.

The Craven 2 Tier Undercounter Serving Trolley is a compact, stainless steel mobile trolley designed for general food service use. With two open shelves and a footprint sized to fit beneath standard counters, it provides accessible storage and transport capacity in service areas, kitchens, and dining spaces where space is limited and mobility matters.

In day-to-day service environments, trolleys of this type take a significant amount of handling — moving between prep areas, pass, and dining rooms repeatedly across a shift. The Craven unit is built with that in mind: the stainless steel construction is straightforward to wipe down, resistant to the knocks and spillages common in busy service, and light enough at 10kg to manoeuvre without difficulty. A 50kg load capacity across both shelves is sufficient for most routine service tasks, from transporting crockery and glassware to clearing covers efficiently.

Practically, this trolley suits operations where staff need to move items quickly and cleanly without repeatedly carrying individual loads by hand. Key operational advantages include:

• Two open tiers providing quick visual access to loaded items during service
• Stainless steel construction that wipes clean easily between uses
• Compact undercounter dimensions that allow storage without obstructing floor space
• Light overall weight making it easy for all staff to handle
• Suitable for a range of service tasks from clearing to restocking

There are no installation requirements — the trolley requires no fixed connections and is ready to use. It is worth considering whether castors are fitted or fixed before placing the unit in a tight space; checking the product dimensions against your available routes and storage areas is advisable, particularly in compact kitchens with narrow doorways.

This trolley is well suited to cafés, small hotels, care homes, hospitality venues, and school catering operations where a practical, general-purpose service trolley is needed. For operations with significantly higher throughput or heavier loads, a larger or more heavy-duty model may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this trolley fits your service setup or need guidance on the right specification, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Craven 3 Tier Undercounter Serving Trolley is a compact, stainless steel mobile trolley designed to fit beneath standard counter heights while providing three usable shelf levels. It is a practical storage and transport solution for crockery, serviceware, condiments, and light food service items in a variety of catering environments.

With a total load capacity of 75kg spread across three shelves, this trolley handles the everyday demands of a working kitchen or front-of-house service area without occupying significant floor space. Its undercounter profile makes it well suited to sites where space is at a premium and permanent storage is limited. The stainless steel construction is practical in both wet and dry areas, and the finish is straightforward to wipe down during and after service.

In operational terms, a trolley of this type tends to earn its place quickly in environments where items need to move between preparation, service, and collection points throughout the day. Common applications include:

• Transporting crockery and glassware between wash and service areas
• Staging condiments, cutlery, and service items ahead of a sitting
• Providing accessible mobile storage beneath counters in tight kitchen runs
• Supporting clearing and resetting operations during busy periods

At 13kg unloaded, it is light enough to be repositioned without difficulty. The dimensions are worth confirming against your specific counter height and aisle clearance before ordering, as undercounter fitment can vary depending on counter construction.

This trolley is a sensible fit for cafés, pub kitchens, staff canteens, and smaller hospitality operations. For higher-volume or more heavily loaded applications, a more robust trolley with a greater capacity rating may be worth considering.

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

The Craven 2 Tier Serving Trolley is a straightforward, well-built stainless steel trolley designed for moving food, crockery, or service items around a commercial environment. With two usable shelf levels and a 50kg total capacity, it covers the everyday demands of cafeteria service, banqueting support, ward rounds, and general kitchen porter work without overcomplicating the task.

In practice, this type of trolley earns its keep in high-footfall settings where staff need to transport plated dishes, trays, or bulk supplies between prep areas, service counters, and dining rooms. The stainless steel construction stands up to regular cleaning and the knocks of a busy service environment, and at 13kg unladen it remains manageable for most kitchen staff to handle without difficulty.

Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:

• Stainless steel surfaces wipe down quickly, supporting good hygiene practice
• Two shelf tiers allow separation of clean and used items during service
• A 50kg rated capacity handles loaded tray sets without strain
• Compact footprint suits tighter service corridors and lift access
• Suited to a wide range of environments from kitchens to care settings

No electrical or plumbing connections are required. The main practical consideration is floor surface — this trolley performs well on smooth or lightly textured flooring but may not be the right choice for uneven or heavily cambered surfaces. For sites with heavier throughput or where larger load capacities are needed, heavier-duty alternatives are worth considering.

This trolley suits smaller catering operations, care homes, school kitchens, hotel banqueting support, and similar environments where a reliable, easy-to-clean service trolley is needed without unnecessary complexity. If you are unsure whether this model suits your specific service flow or environment, we are happy to talk it through.

The Craven Drip Dry Trolley is a purpose-built storage and drying solution for dishwasher baskets. Constructed from stainless steel, it holds up to 30 baskets across three tiers, allowing washed baskets to drain and air dry in a controlled, organised way rather than being stacked on worktops or the floor between service periods.

In a busy warewashing area, clutter and poor organisation around the dishwasher quickly become operational problems. This trolley provides a dedicated holding point for baskets coming out of the machine, keeping the area clear and allowing staff to work efficiently without baskets piling up in the wrong place. The three-level layout means a full run of baskets can be stored in a relatively compact footprint, which matters in kitchens where floor space around the wash area is limited.

Practical benefits in daily use include:

• Keeps baskets elevated off the floor for hygiene compliance
• Three-tier layout stores a high volume of baskets without sprawl
• Stainless steel construction withstands the damp, high-temperature environment around commercial dishwashers
• Allows air circulation around baskets to speed natural drying
• Keeps the wash area organised during and between service periods

At 24kg, the trolley is substantial enough to remain stable when fully loaded, though it is worth confirming the floor surface and available space around your warewashing station before ordering. The footprint is designed to sit alongside or near a rack-type or hood dishwasher without obstructing workflow.

This trolley is well suited to contract caterers, school kitchens, hotel operations, and any site running a dishwasher at volume through the day. For very high-throughput sites running multiple machines simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a second unit would better support the workflow.

If you're unsure whether this suits your warewashing setup, our team is happy to talk through your kitchen layout and volume before you commit.

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 trolley from Craven is designed to organise and present trays, cutlery and condiments at the point of service in self-service and cafeteria environments. Built from epoxy-coated steel, it provides a practical, mobile dispensing station that can be positioned wherever it is needed on the service line, then repositioned or moved to storage between service periods.

In busy cafeteria and canteen settings, having trays, cutlery and condiments grouped at a single point simplifies the customer journey and reduces the pressure on service staff during peak periods. The trolley handles a substantial tray load without becoming unwieldy, and the epoxy coating resists the knocks and spills that come with daily use in high-footfall environments. The large castors allow it to roll cleanly over tiled flooring, which matters when staff need to clear a servery quickly at the end of a period.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Consolidates trays, cutlery and condiments into one accessible station
• Mobile — repositions easily during and between service periods
• Epoxy-coated steel resists corrosion and cleans down quickly
• Reduces counter clutter, supporting a tidier and more efficient service line
• Suited to hard flooring common in commercial servery environments

The trolley requires no installation and no utilities — it arrives ready to use. It is best suited to level or near-level floors; heavily uneven surfaces may affect stability when fully loaded. At 18kg empty, it is manageable for most service staff to position unaided, though a full tray load will add considerable weight to push.

This trolley is well suited to staff canteens, school and college cafeterias, hospital catering operations, and similar self-service environments where a defined dispensing point keeps service moving. For operations running multiple simultaneous service lines or very high footfall, it is worth considering whether more than one unit would be practical.
