Craven

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.

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.
