Craven

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 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.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution designed for commercial kitchen and food storage environments. The frame is constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating applied to each wire shelf, giving a smooth, cleanable surface that meets NSF food hygiene standards. Shelf positions are adjustable along the uprights, and the individual shelves lift out easily without tools, which makes cleaning and reconfiguring the unit a simple task during service or at the end of a shift.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of shelving earns its place through reliability and flexibility. The unit can handle a substantial load per shelf, making it suitable for bulk dry goods, gastronorm containers, equipment, or packaged stock. Because the shelves are open wire rather than solid, air circulation is good — a practical advantage in walk-in fridges, freezers, or ambient dry stores alike. The nylon coating also holds up well in cold storage conditions, including deep-freeze environments.

Key practical advantages include:

• Adjustable shelf heights to accommodate varying stock sizes and container depths
• Removable shelves for thorough cleaning without dismantling the frame
• Open wire design promotes air circulation, particularly useful in refrigerated storage
• NSF-compliant surface suitable for use in food contact storage areas
• Available with or without castors, depending on whether mobility is needed

At 1475mm wide, this is a full-width shelving unit that requires reasonable clear wall or floor space. It is worth accounting for access clearance on all sides, particularly if castors are not fitted and the unit will be positioned against a wall. The mild steel frame and nylon coating are not intended for direct exposure to steam or heavy moisture — ensure adequate ventilation in any enclosed storage area where condensation might be an issue.

This unit is well suited to mid-sized and larger commercial kitchens, food service operations, and catering storage rooms where reliable, hygienic, adjustable shelving is needed. Smaller operations with limited floor space may find a narrower unit more practical, while high-density storage sites with very heavy loads may benefit from a heavier-duty shelving system. If you are unsure which configuration suits your storage requirements, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

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 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.

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 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.

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 wire shelving unit from Craven, constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating across all shelf surfaces. The open wire design allows air to circulate freely around stored goods, which makes it a practical choice for dry stores, walk-in refrigeration, and freezer rooms alike. Shelves are removable and their height is adjustable along the uprights, so the unit can be reconfigured without tools as storage requirements change.

In a working kitchen environment, the combination of a robust steel frame and a 800kg bay capacity means the unit handles heavy loads without flex — whether that is bulk dry goods, full gastronorm containers, or catering-sized tins. The nylon coating meets NSF food hygiene standards, resisting moisture and making surfaces straightforward to wipe down during routine cleaning. The unit is rated for freezer temperatures, so it transfers directly into cold rooms without any additional preparation.

Key practical points for operators:

• Nylon coating complies with NSF food hygiene standards
• Open wire shelves allow full air circulation around stock
• Shelf heights adjust to suit different container sizes
• Rated for use in freezer environments
• Available with or without castors for fixed or mobile positioning

At just over 16kg, the unit is manageable to move and install without lifting equipment, which is worth considering when planning a refit or a store reorganisation. The footprint suits a medium to large storage area; in a tighter space, a narrower or shallower configuration may be more practical. For sites needing significantly greater storage capacity across multiple bays, heavier-duty shelving systems with higher individual load ratings are available within the range.

This unit is well suited to hotel and restaurant kitchens, catering operations, and food production sites that need reliable, hygienic storage they can adapt as stock profiles change. If you are unsure whether the dimensions or load rating are right for your space, the team is happy to talk it through.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a practical, free-standing storage solution commonly used in dry stores, walk-in cold rooms, and general-purpose back-of-house areas. The shelves are constructed from mild steel finished with a nylon coating, giving the unit a smooth, cleanable surface that meets NSF food hygiene standards — making it a suitable choice wherever food-safe storage is a requirement.

In a working kitchen environment, wire shelving of this type performs reliably across a range of conditions. The open wire construction promotes air circulation, which helps maintain consistent temperatures in refrigerated and ambient storage areas alike. The nylon coating holds up well against regular cleaning, and the shelf posts allow height adjustment so operators can reconfigure the layout as stock levels or product sizes change. The unit is also rated to withstand freezer temperatures as low as -40°C, making it suitable for frozen storage applications where standard shelving would not cope.

The practical advantages of a unit like this include:

• Adjustable shelf heights to accommodate varying stock profiles
• Open wire design supports air circulation in cold and ambient stores
• Nylon coating is easy to wipe down and compliant with food hygiene standards
• Available with or without castors for fixed or mobile configurations
• Loose infill shelves remove quickly for cleaning or reconfiguration

With an 800kg capacity per bay, this unit is well suited to medium-duty storage use. It is worth noting that the relatively compact depth makes it better suited to smaller items, packaged goods, and catering consumables rather than large gastronorm containers or bulk dry goods in deep storage. If your site requires a wider or deeper shelving bay, or significantly heavier load ratings, it is worth considering a heavier-duty alternative from the range.

This unit is a sensible choice for independent restaurants, cafés, hotel kitchens, and smaller catering operations that need reliable, food-safe shelving without complex installation requirements. No electrical or water connections are needed — placement and levelling are all that is required to put it into service.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your storage layout or load requirements, the team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.

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 tray dispenser is a freestanding chrome plated wire unit designed to hold and present serving trays in an orderly, accessible stack at the point of service. It is a straightforward piece of front-of-house equipment widely used at the entrance to self-service counters, cafeteria lines, and staff dining facilities.

In a busy service environment, having trays presented at a consistent height and in a stable stack reduces handling time and keeps the service flow moving. The chrome plated wire construction keeps the unit light at 4kg whilst supporting a load capacity of 60kg, meaning a full complement of trays can be held without issue across a standard service period.

Practically, the unit offers a few clear operational advantages:

• Keeps trays organised and upright at the start of a service line
• Chrome plated finish is straightforward to wipe down between services
• Freestanding design allows flexible positioning on counters or floor areas
• Lightweight enough to relocate without effort

This unit is suited to canteens, school dining rooms, hospital catering, and similar self-service operations where tray presentation is part of the service flow. For very high-volume sites handling continuous footfall, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity or dual-dispenser arrangement would better suit the throughput demand.

If you are fitting out a new servery or replacing existing dispenser equipment, the team are happy to talk through what works best for your layout and service style.

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.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution commonly used in commercial dry stores, preparation areas, walk-in cold rooms, and freezer rooms. The frame is constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating applied to the wire shelves, providing a smooth, cleanable surface that meets NSF food hygiene standards — a requirement in most professionally inspected catering environments.

The open wire design allows air to circulate freely around stored goods, which is particularly useful in refrigerated or frozen environments where airflow matters. The nylon coating holds up well in cold conditions, and the unit is rated to withstand freezer temperatures, making it a practical choice where a single shelving system needs to work across ambient and frozen storage zones.

In operational terms, the unit offers a solid 800kg capacity per bay, which is sufficient for most general catering storage needs — dry goods, gastronorm containers, portioned produce, and similar loads. Key practical advantages include:

• Adjustable shelf heights to accommodate varying stock sizes and container formats
• Loose infill shelves that lift out quickly for cleaning or reconfiguration
• NSF-compliant coating that supports food hygiene audit requirements
• Lightweight construction at under 15kg, making repositioning manageable without heavy lifting
• Compatible with castor kits where mobile storage is needed

At just under 500mm deep and 875mm wide, this unit fits comfortably against a standard wall run without projecting excessively into a work aisle. It is worth confirming ceiling clearance before ordering, as the 1700mm height suits most commercial kitchen environments but may require consideration in low-ceiling plant rooms or under-mezzanine spaces.

This unit is well suited to small and mid-sized catering operations — café kitchens, pub prep areas, care home stores, and similar environments — where reliable, hygienic general storage is needed without unnecessary complexity. Sites requiring heavier-duty racking for bulk or pallet-level storage may find a more substantial shelving system more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a store room or cold room and want to confirm the right configuration — including castor options or the number of bays needed — the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

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.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution built for commercial kitchens, storerooms, and chilled or frozen environments. The frame and shelves are constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating, producing a lightweight yet sturdy unit that is noticeably easier to reposition than solid-shelf alternatives. Individual shelves lift out without tools, which makes cleaning around them and reconfiguring the layout a routine rather than a task.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the open wire design allows air to circulate freely around stored goods — a practical advantage in both ambient storerooms and refrigerated or freezer storage, where the unit is rated to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C. The shelves comply with NSF food hygiene standards, which matters in operations subject to environmental health inspection or group standards requiring documented compliance.

The operational benefits most kitchen teams find useful with this type of shelving include:

• Adjustable shelf heights to suit changing stock profiles without specialist tools
• Open wire construction that speeds up cleaning and reduces hidden residue build-up
• Loose infill shelves that remove quickly for deep cleaning or layout changes
• Available with castors, allowing the unit to be moved for cleaning behind it or relocated between service periods
• NSF-compliant finish supporting food safety audit requirements

Installation is simple — the unit is freestanding and requires no fixings, services, or specialist fitting. At 15.9kg it can be moved and assembled by a single person without difficulty. The 875mm width and 591mm depth suit standard back-of-house layouts, though it is worth measuring doorway and corridor widths before delivery if access to the final location is restricted. The 800kg bay capacity is substantial for a unit of this size, but as with any shelving, loads should be distributed evenly across all tiers rather than concentrated on one or two shelves.

This unit is well suited to small and medium-sized kitchens, prep areas, dry goods stores, walk-in chillers, and freezer rooms needing reliable, hygienic, and reconfigurable storage. Operations with significantly higher stock volumes or heavier equipment to store may find a heavier-duty shelving system a better long-term fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit suits your storage layout or environment, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution for commercial kitchens, cold rooms, dry stores, and back-of-house areas. The shelves are constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating, which provides a cleanable, food-safe surface that meets NSF Food Hygiene Standards. Each shelf is removable without tools, and shelf heights are fully adjustable, allowing the unit to be configured around whatever you need to store.

In day-to-day kitchen use, this type of shelving earns its place through reliability and flexibility. The open wire design promotes air circulation, which is particularly useful in refrigerated environments — the unit is rated to withstand freezer temperatures down to -40°C, making it a practical choice for walk-in cold rooms and blast chiller areas as well as ambient dry storage. With an 800kg capacity per bay, it handles bulk ingredient storage, gastronorm containers, dry goods, and equipment without issue.

Practically speaking, operators value this style of shelving for a few consistent reasons:

• Adjustable shelf heights adapt easily as storage needs change
• Open wire construction reduces cleaning time and prevents moisture pooling
• Removable shelves allow full deep-cleaning access to the unit
• Available with castors where mobile storage is needed
• Nylon coating is hygienic, food-safe, and resists corrosion in damp environments

Installation is uncomplicated — the unit requires no fixing to walls or floors in most applications, though anchoring is worth considering in high-traffic or high-rack configurations for stability. At just under 19kg, the unit is manageable for two people to position. The footprint suits most medium to large kitchen storerooms, though it is worth measuring doorways and access routes before delivery, particularly for basement or mezzanine stores.

This unit is well suited to mid-size to large catering operations — hotel kitchens, contract caterers, school and hospital catering facilities, and busy restaurant prep areas. For smaller kitchens or tighter spaces, narrower or shallower configurations may be more practical. For very high-volume sites with exceptionally heavy loads or a need for bespoke bay arrangements, it is worth discussing heavier-duty or wider options.

If you are fitting out a new storeroom or cold room and want to make sure the shelving configuration works for your space and workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

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.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution commonly used in commercial kitchens, walk-in cold rooms, dry stores, and preparation areas. The frame is constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating applied to each wire shelf, producing a smooth, cleanable surface that resists moisture and does not harbour food residue in the way that solid shelves can. Shelf positions are adjustable, allowing operators to configure the unit around whatever they need to store — from full gastronorm trays to bulk dry goods.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the open wire construction earns its keep. Air circulates freely around stored goods, which is particularly valuable in refrigerated or freezer environments where the unit is rated to perform reliably at temperatures as low as -40°C. The 800kg bay capacity is well suited to serious storage demands, and the individual shelves lift out without tools, making cleaning and stock rotation straightforward during busy service periods.

The practical advantages of this style of shelving are worth setting out clearly:

• Open wire design promotes airflow and reduces condensation build-up around stored items
• Nylon coating complies with NSF food hygiene standards, supporting HACCP documentation
• Shelves remove easily for thorough cleaning without requiring tools or specialist knowledge
• Adjustable shelf heights allow the unit to adapt as storage requirements change over time
• Suitable for use in freezer stores, cold rooms, and ambient dry stores alike

Installation is simple — the unit requires only a level floor surface and adequate clearance for loading and cleaning access. At 18.9kg the unit is manageable for two people to position. No fixings or wall anchors are required in standard use, though operators storing at the upper end of the weight capacity in high-traffic areas may wish to consider floor fixing. The unit is available with or without castors; castors are worth considering where the unit needs to be moved regularly for cleaning or stock replenishment.

This shelving unit is well suited to small and medium commercial kitchens, back-of-house storage, and cold room fitouts where a reliable, hygienic, and flexible shelving solution is needed. For larger sites requiring wider bays, additional tiers, or higher load ratings, heavier-duty alternatives are available within the range.

If you're unsure whether this unit fits your space or storage requirements, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit to an order.

This Craven four-tier wire shelving unit is a straightforward, practical storage solution designed for commercial kitchens, dry stores, cold rooms, and preparation areas. The nylon-coated wire construction gives each shelf an open, easy-clean surface while keeping the overall frame lightweight at 20.5kg — making it manageable to configure or reposition without heavy lifting equipment. The unit stands 1700mm tall with a 1475mm bay width and 491mm depth, which suits most standard storage layouts.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the open wire shelves allow good air circulation, which is particularly useful in refrigerated or cold room environments where airflow around stored product matters. The shelves are individually removable, so the layout can be adjusted quickly as stock levels or storage needs change during service — without tools. The unit is rated to carry 800kg per bay across all four tiers, which provides reassuring load capacity for bulk dry goods, gastronorm containers, or heavy catering packs.

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

• Nylon coating complies with NSF Food Hygiene Standards, keeping it suitable for food-contact storage environments
• Shelf heights are adjustable, allowing the unit to be configured around tall stock items or specific storage requirements
• Open wire construction makes cleaning straightforward and reduces moisture build-up
• Compatible with freezer environments, handling low temperatures without compromising the frame or coating
• Available with or without castors, which is worth considering if the unit needs to be mobile or moved periodically for cleaning

Installation is simple — no fixings, water, or electrical connections are required. The unit stands free on either feet or optional castors. If castor-mounted, check that the floor surface is level and can accommodate the loaded weight before positioning in a permanent location. The 491mm depth is on the narrower side, which works well in corridors, pass-throughs, or smaller dry stores where a full 600mm depth unit would restrict movement.

This unit is well suited to small and medium catering operations, central kitchens, or anywhere that needs reliable, hygienic general storage without the bulk of heavy steel racking. For operations needing greater bay width or substantially higher load capacity, heavier-duty shelving options are available in the range.

If you are unsure whether this configuration fits your storage layout or whether castors are the right choice for your floor type, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

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 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 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 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.

If you would like to talk through how this fits your service layout, our team is happy to help.

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 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 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.

This is a four-tier wire shelving unit from Craven, constructed from mild steel with a nylon coating applied to each wire shelf. The open wire design allows air to circulate freely around stored items, which is particularly relevant in refrigerated and cold store environments. At 1700mm tall and 1175mm wide with a 491mm depth, it provides a practical footprint for back-of-house dry stores, prep areas, and walk-in cold rooms alike.

The unit is well suited to busy storage environments where stock rotation and accessibility matter. The loose, removable shelf design means individual shelves can be lifted out without tools, making deep cleaning straightforward and allowing the configuration to be adjusted as storage needs change. Shelf positions are height-adjustable, so the unit can be organised around the actual dimensions of the items being stored rather than forcing stock to fit a fixed layout.

• Nylon coating meets NSF food hygiene standards, making it suitable for food contact environments
• Open wire construction promotes airflow — appropriate for refrigerated and ambient storage
• Adjustable shelf heights to accommodate varying stock sizes
• Castors available as an option for units that need to be repositioned regularly
• Rated to 800kg per bay, providing reliable capacity for heavy stock loads

At 17.7kg, the unit is light enough to be repositioned during installation without specialist handling equipment, though as with any tall shelving at this width, it should be loaded evenly and positioned on a level floor surface. The unit is not designed for overhead suspension and requires adequate floor clearance around it for safe access during busy service periods.

This shelving is a practical choice for small to mid-sized operations — delis, independent restaurants, care homes, and school kitchens — where flexible, hygienic storage is needed without unnecessary complexity. Sites with very high-volume cold storage demands may find a heavier-duty or wider shelving system better matched to their throughput.

If you are fitting out a new storage area or replacing an existing shelving system and want to check whether this unit suits your layout, our team is happy to talk it through.

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 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.
