EAIS Plate, Glass & Tray Trolleys

The EAIS PTD Premier is a freestanding stainless steel tray dispenser built for self-service and cafeteria environments. Its function is straightforward: to hold a stack of clean trays in an upright, accessible position at the start of a service counter, keeping the servery organised and customer flow uninterrupted. The unit is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel throughout and runs on castors, so it can be repositioned to suit your service layout as required.

In canteen and cafeteria service, tray dispensers take considerable daily punishment — trays pulled free one-handed, the unit nudged during busy periods, castors rolling across wet or uneven floors. The PTD Premier uses a tubular frame with one-piece formed sides that resist the gradual racking and deformation that develops in lighter-built units over time. Two of the four 125mm castors are braked, allowing the unit to be locked firmly in position during service and released quickly when repositioning or cleaning is needed.

Key practical advantages for front-of-house and servery operations include:

• Grade 304 stainless construction withstands regular cleaning without surface degradation
• Braked castors hold the unit stable during service and release easily for repositioning
• Retaining wires keep the tray stack aligned and prevent toppling under a full load
• Bumpers fitted as standard protect adjacent counters and furniture from impact damage

The PTD Premier requires no utilities — no electrical connection, water supply, or drainage — which makes placement straightforward. It does need adequate clear floor space in the approach to the servery. It is worth confirming that your standard tray format sits within the unit's supported dimensions before ordering, as tray sizes vary between operations.

This unit is well suited to staff canteens, school dining rooms, hospital catering operations, and similar high-throughput self-service environments. For very high-volume sites running multiple simultaneous service points, it may be worth considering whether additional units or a heavier-duty alternative would better support the flow of service.

If you are configuring a new servery or rethinking tray handling as part of a front-of-house layout change, the team is happy to talk through the right approach with you.

The EAIS CCSDT-3 Club is a freestanding, mobile cutlery dispenser trolley built for self-service and counter-service environments. It runs on an epoxy coated steel tubular frame and carries removable cutlery trays, each divided into four compartments to keep forks, knives, spoons, and a fourth item such as teaspoons or dessert cutlery cleanly separated. Four castors — two of which are braked — allow the unit to be wheeled into position and held in place during service.

In a working canteen or cafeteria, the slanted tray design lets customers retrieve cutlery cleanly with one hand without disrupting the service flow. The removable tray system is a practical advantage during busy periods: trays can be restocked in the kitchen and swapped out at the counter in one movement, rather than restocking piece by piece at the service point.

• Slanted compartments allow clean, single-handed cutlery retrieval
• Removable trays support rapid swaps without pausing service
• Braked castors hold the unit steady at the service point
• Epoxy coated frame withstands knocks and routine cleaning chemicals
• Open wire tray frames allow drainage and are easy to clean down

No utilities, drainage, or fixed connections are required. The trolley needs only a clear floor area within the service zone. It performs well on smooth, level surfaces; uneven floors or thick matting can affect castor movement and stability, so it is worth assessing the intended location beforehand.

This unit is well suited to low- to mid-volume self-service operations such as staff restaurants, school canteens, and cafeterias. Very high-throughput sites — large contract catering facilities or transport catering — may find a heavier-duty or higher-capacity dispensing arrangement more practical. Where cutlery dispensing needs to sit within a fixed counter run rather than a mobile unit, a different product type would be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this trolley fits your service layout, the team is glad to help.

The EAIS CTD Club is a freestanding tray dispenser designed for cafeteria-style and self-service food operations. Built around a tubular steel frame with an epoxy powder coat finish, it sits on castors for easy repositioning and requires no electrical or water connections. Its purpose is straightforward: keep trays accessible, orderly, and within easy reach at the point of collection.

In a busy servery environment, a well-positioned tray dispenser contributes meaningfully to queue flow. This unit holds enough trays to carry a full lunch service without requiring a mid-session reload, and the retaining wires keep the stack stable without impeding guests as they pull a tray free. The one-piece formed side and rear frames give the unit good rigidity under the kind of repeated daily handling typical in school dining rooms, staff canteens, and hospital cafeterias.

Key operational features worth noting:

• Epoxy coated frame resists moisture and routine cleaning chemicals
• 125mm castors allow easy repositioning before or after service
• Two braked castors keep the unit stable once placed on the servery line
• Bumpers protect adjacent counters and furniture from contact damage
• No installation requirements beyond a clear, level floor area

The unit is intended for indoor use only and is not suited to outdoor service points or areas with prolonged exposure to standing water. Sites operating at significantly higher tray throughput, or regularly handling larger-format trays, may find a higher-capacity model more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a servery line or want to confirm compatibility with your existing tray stock, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The EAIS PTCD-1 is a mobile tray and cutlery dispenser designed to sit at the entrance to a canteen or dining service line. It gives diners a single, organised point to collect a tray and sorted cutlery before moving along the counter — a straightforward piece of kit that has a noticeable effect on flow and tidiness during busy service periods.

In high-throughput dining environments, the start of the service line sets the pace for everything that follows. A well-positioned dispenser removes the need for staff to hand out trays or sort cutlery during service, reduces the handling clutter that builds up at busy counters, and keeps the front-of-house presentation consistent throughout the meal period. The PTCD-1 holds a practical stock of standard canteen trays in a stacked format and includes a four-compartment plastic cutlery tray to keep knives, forks, spoons and additional items separated and within easy reach of the diner.

Constructed throughout in grade 304 stainless steel, the unit is built to take the daily knocks of a busy dining operation and supports straightforward cleaning routines. Key practical advantages include:

• Mobile on castors with brakes — repositioned without lifting, locked in place during service
• Bumpers fitted as standard to protect walls and adjacent furniture
• Four-compartment cutlery tray keeps the diner's first touchpoint organised
• Stainless construction stands up to regular cleaning and high-footfall use
• No power or installation required — fully self-contained

The unit needs no electrical connection and can be placed wherever it best suits your service layout. It is worth checking your standard tray dimensions against the maximum tray size this unit accommodates before ordering, and confirming that the castors will move freely across your floor surface. For sites operating with significantly larger tray stocks or non-standard tray formats, a higher-capacity alternative may be worth considering.

The PTCD-1 is well suited to schools, workplace canteens, healthcare dining rooms and similar mid-size operations with steady daily service volumes. If you are fitting out or reorganising a full service line and want to make sure all the components work together, we are happy to talk it through.

The EAIS CTCD-1 Club is a mobile tray and cutlery dispense trolley designed for canteen-style and self-service dining environments. Its purpose is straightforward: to provide a single, organised collection point at the head of a servery line where diners can pick up a tray and cutlery before moving through the queue. Keeping that process tidy from the outset has a noticeable effect on flow throughout the rest of the service.

In day-to-day operation, the unit performs reliably in the kind of repetitive, moderate-throughput service typical of staff restaurants, school dining halls, and hospital catering. The epoxy coated tubular steel frame holds up reasonably well against the knocks and ambient moisture that are common in these environments, and the one-piece formed sides give the structure enough rigidity to withstand regular repositioning without racking over time. Retaining wires keep trays secure during loading and service without making restocking awkward.

The practical advantages in a working servery include:

• Integrated four-compartment cutlery tray keeps utensils sorted and accessible without a separate stand
• Twin-braked castors allow the unit to be locked in place during service and moved between sittings
• Bumpers fitted as standard reduce the risk of wall and furniture damage when manoeuvring
• No utilities required — simply position at the start of the queue and it is ready to use
• Epoxy coating provides durability in humid dining environments

There are no installation prerequisites. This is a free-standing, non-powered unit that requires only adequate floor space at the start of a servery run. It is worth confirming tray compatibility with your existing tray stock before ordering, as tray sizes do vary between operations.

This trolley is well suited to moderate-volume self-service settings — staff canteens, school dining halls, care home restaurants, and similar operations. It is a single-unit dispense point, so sites running high-volume multi-line service may find a heavier-duty or larger-capacity solution more appropriate.

If you have questions about servery layout or want to confirm tray compatibility before committing, our team is glad to talk it through.

The EAIS PCSDT-3 is a freestanding stainless steel cutlery dispensing trolley designed for self-service and assisted-service environments where organised, accessible cutlery presentation is a routine operational requirement. It carries three removable trays, each divided into four compartments, and is built to withstand the repeated handling and cleaning cycles that come with busy food service use.

In practice, this type of unit earns its place in staff canteens, school dining halls, healthcare catering facilities, and cafeteria-style operations where customers collect their own cutlery as part of a tray-service flow. The slanted tray arrangement makes it straightforward for diners to identify and retrieve what they need, and for staff to replenish between services without relocating the whole unit.

Built from grade 304 stainless steel throughout, the trolley is well suited to the cleaning regimes expected in commercial food service. The removable trays can be taken away for washing separately, keeping hygiene management simple and reducing downtime during turnaround.

• Three removable trays, each with four compartments for sorted cutlery presentation
• Slanted tray angle aids customer access and efficient staff restocking
• Grade 304 stainless construction resists corrosion under regular wet-cleaning
• Castors with two braked wheels for repositioning and locking in place
• Non-marking castors protect floor surfaces in front-of-house areas

No services are required — there are no electrical, gas, or water connections involved. The trolley rolls freely and can be positioned at the start of a servery run, alongside a tray stack, or at a designated self-service point. It is worth confirming that any floor transitions on your site are manageable if the unit needs to move between areas regularly.

This trolley suits operations running a self-service or assisted-service model with moderate to high footfall. For very high-volume sites requiring greater cutlery capacity or additional compartmentalisation, a heavier-duty unit may be worth considering.

If you would like to talk through whether this fits your servery layout or service model, we are happy to help before you commit to an order.

The EAIS SAL-T-9x5 is a freestanding stainless steel meal dispense trolley designed for structured, portion-based canteen service. Built on a tubular formed frame, it provides a stable and repositionable serving station without any fixed installation. The top surface incorporates gastronorm pan cut-outs to hold pans securely at serving height, and the unit is supplied complete with a set of stainless steel pans, so it is ready to put into service without needing to source compatible containers separately.

In a school meal environment, service is concentrated into a narrow window with consistent throughput demands. This trolley supports that by keeping pans secure and accessible at a comfortable working height, which reduces spillage risk and allows staff to portion food cleanly and quickly. The hinged fold-down front tray adds useful surface space for plates, trays, or accompaniments without increasing the unit's footprint when not needed.

• Supplied with stainless steel pans — ready to use out of the box
• Gastronorm cut-outs hold pans firmly at counter height during service
• Fold-down front tray provides additional working surface at peak times
• Tubular frame construction allows the unit to be repositioned between sessions
• Stainless steel throughout supports hygiene compliance and straightforward cleaning

This is a passive unit — there are no electrical, gas, or water connections required. Food should arrive in pre-heated pans from your main cooking or holding equipment, and heat retention during service will depend on pan insulation or covers. If you are planning to use existing pans, it is worth confirming they are compatible with the cut-out configuration before ordering.

The SAL-T-9x5 is well suited to primary and secondary school canteens, care home dining rooms, and similar settings where service follows a set schedule and portion control is important. For operations where active heat retention throughout the service period is a priority, a bain marie or heated servery arrangement may be worth considering alongside this unit. For significantly higher volumes or more complex service layouts, a heavier-duty counter configuration may be more appropriate.
