General Purpose Trolleys

The Cambro BC331KD480 is a three-shelf general-purpose service cart built for everyday transport duties across catering, hospitality, and food service environments. Polypropylene shelving sits on aluminium uprights, keeping the overall unit manageable in weight while maintaining enough structural rigidity to carry meaningful loads reliably across a full shift.

In a working kitchen or servery, a cart justifies its place through quiet, consistent daily performance. The lightly textured shelf surfaces and marine-edge rails on all three levels help keep items stable when staff are moving at pace between areas — particularly useful during busy service periods when care is not always possible. The swivel castors are designed to run quietly and leave no marks on flooring, which matters in front-of-house areas or anywhere staff are moving between hard and soft floor surfaces.

• Marine-edge rails on all three shelves reduce the risk of items shifting in transit
• Quiet, non-marking castors suitable for dining areas and mixed floor surfaces
• Aluminium uprights provide structural stability without unnecessary added weight
• Knock-down construction allows compact storage when the cart is not in use
• Textured shelf surfaces help keep loads secure during movement

The knock-down design is a practical consideration for sites where storage space is limited between services. The cart breaks down without tools and stows in a fraction of the footprint of an assembled unit. There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. As with any castored equipment, performance on heavily uneven or damaged flooring may vary, and it is worth assessing underfoot conditions in the intended area before committing.

This cart is well suited to hotels, contract catering operations, school canteens, care homes, and similar settings where a dependable general-purpose transport solution is needed day to day. It is not designed for heavy industrial applications or environments requiring specialist containment. Sites with significantly higher load demands or more complex logistics may find a heavier-duty configuration better suited to their needs.

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

The Thunder Group PLBC3316G is a straightforward three-tier utility trolley built for general goods movement in commercial kitchens, storerooms, and back-of-house areas. It uses polypropylene shelving supported by aluminium tube framing, with polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber wheels that are reasonably quiet on smooth floor surfaces. Two of the four castors lock, allowing the trolley to be held in place during loading and unloading.

In day-to-day kitchen use, this type of trolley earns its place in the replenishment and organisation workflow rather than in high-stress service positions. It handles the movement of dry goods, catering supplies, smallwares, and light equipment between storage and prep areas without difficulty. The three shelves give reasonable carrying capacity across a working shift without the trolley becoming unwieldy.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Locking castors prevent unwanted movement when stationary
• Lightweight aluminium frame keeps the trolley easy to manoeuvre
• Polypropylene shelves are straightforward to wipe down
• Grey colouring suits general back-of-house environments
• No assembly tools required for most configurations

This trolley is designed for relatively light to medium duty use. It is not rated for heavy catering equipment or bulk wet produce, and the polypropylene shelf construction means it should not be overloaded or used to move sharp-edged loads without protection. It is best suited to dry, level floor surfaces — heavily trafficked or uneven kitchen floors may cause premature wear on the castors.

It suits smaller catering operations, event and hospitality prep areas, and sites where a practical general-purpose trolley is needed for daily goods movement rather than intensive heavy transport. Operations requiring a higher load capacity or more robust construction should consider a heavier-duty alternative from the trolley range.

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

The Thunder Group PLBC3316B is a three-tier general-purpose trolley built for everyday use in commercial kitchens, back-of-house storage areas, and service environments. It features polypropylene shelves supported by aluminium tube uprights, with handles and wheels constructed from polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber. Four castors are fitted as standard — two locking and two free-rolling — allowing the trolley to be manoeuvred easily and then held securely in position when needed.

In practice, this type of trolley is commonly used for transporting crockery, smallwares, dry goods, or cleaning supplies between storage and service areas. The three-shelf layout provides a reasonable amount of organised capacity without the bulk of a larger unit, making it practical in tighter back-of-house spaces where floor area is at a premium.

Key operational features include:

• Polypropylene shelves that are straightforward to wipe down and maintain
• Two locking castors to hold the trolley in place during loading or unloading
• Lightweight aluminium tube frame reduces pushing effort during transport
• Non-marking thermoplastic rubber wheels suitable for kitchen floor surfaces
• Compact footprint relative to its three-tier storage capacity

This trolley is best suited to smaller operations — cafés, small restaurant kitchens, hotel back-of-house, or catering preparation areas — where a straightforward, general-purpose transport solution is needed. It is not designed for heavy-duty pallet-style loads or wet environments requiring stainless steel. For operations with higher throughput or heavier load requirements, a more robust trolley from a heavier-duty range would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this trolley fits your workflow or space, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Cambro BC340KD480 is a three-shelf general-purpose utility cart built for the day-to-day movement of goods, equipment, and serviceware across commercial kitchen environments. Constructed with aluminium uprights and lightly textured polypropylene shelves in a speckled grey finish, it is designed to handle the kind of sustained, repetitive use common in food service operations without deteriorating quickly. The knock-down design means it ships flat and assembles without tools — practical for sites receiving deliveries in restricted spaces or where storage between uses matters.

In operation, the cart performs reliably as a transit and storage solution during both service and prep. The shelf configuration accepts a full-size dish rack or two standard bus boxes side by side, making it genuinely useful across pot wash areas, dry goods movement, linen duties, and general back-of-house organisation. Marine rails on each shelf help prevent items shifting during movement across uneven kitchen floors or through swing doors — something that matters considerably over the course of a busy service.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Aluminium uprights provide a stable, rigid frame under sustained load
• Non-marking castors run quietly on hard kitchen floors
• Marine shelf rails reduce item movement and spillage during transit
• Optional shelf panels available to enclose shelves on two or three sides
• Knock-down construction simplifies storage and flat-pack delivery

As a free-standing mobile unit, the cart requires no installation. For operations where trolleys are regularly used on ramps, across significant floor level changes, or under genuinely heavy industrial loads, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty specification would be more appropriate. For cold-store environments specifically, check castor and material compatibility before committing.

This cart is well suited to cafés, contract catering operations, school kitchens, care homes, and mid-sized restaurant back-of-house environments where a dependable everyday trolley is needed without the cost of a fabricated stainless unit. If you would like to talk through whether this configuration suits your operation, we are happy to help before you place an 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 small three-tier trolley from Vogue is a straightforward, practical unit for moving goods around a site. Built from polypropylene throughout, it is designed for everyday use in environments where a lightweight, easy-to-clean trolley is needed — whether that is a hotel corridor, a care home, a school kitchen, or a healthcare facility.

In day-to-day operation, it handles the routine tasks well: shifting plates, condiments, cleaning supplies, or general stores between service areas. It is not a heavy-duty warehouse trolley, but for lighter loads and regular movement across a site, it performs reliably and requires very little maintenance. The polypropylene construction means it will not corrode or rust, which is a practical consideration if the trolley is occasionally taken outdoors or used in damp areas.

A few features make it particularly useful in tighter sites:

• Folds flat for storage in a cupboard or small back-of-house area
• Folded profile is easier to manage in a lift or when carrying up stairs
• Four castors, two of which are braked, keep the trolley stable when loading
• Supplied fully assembled — ready to use straight away
• Smooth surfaces throughout make it quick to wipe down between uses

It is worth being clear about scale: this is the smaller version in the range, which suits sites where space is limited or loads are modest. For busier operations or heavier loads, a larger or more heavy-duty model would be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for how you intend to use it, the 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 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 Vogue three-tier polypropylene trolley is a general-purpose transport trolley built for everyday movement of goods around commercial kitchens, back-of-house areas, and service spaces. It combines an aluminium frame with polypropylene shelving to keep the overall weight manageable whilst still handling substantial loads across all three tiers.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of trolley earns its keep during prep, service, and post-service clear-down — moving crockery from the wash area, shifting stock from stores, or transporting food containers between sections. The 320mm gap between shelves is generous enough to accommodate tall containers, GN boxes, and stacked plates without forcing items in at an angle. The braked castors hold the trolley steady during loading and unloading, which matters when you are working quickly and both hands are occupied.

Practically speaking, the polypropylene surfaces are straightforward to wipe down and do not absorb food residue or odours in the way timber alternatives can. Key day-to-day advantages include:

• Braked castors on two wheels for stable loading and unloading
• Wipe-clean shelves that meet commercial hygiene expectations
• Lightweight construction that reduces manual handling strain
• Shelf spacing that accommodates bulkier catering containers
• Self-assembly construction requiring no specialist tools

This trolley is well suited to smaller and mid-sized operations — cafés, pub kitchens, care homes, school catering, and contract catering sites — where a practical, no-frills transport solution is needed. It is not intended for very heavy industrial loads or environments where a fully welded stainless steel trolley would be more appropriate. For higher-volume or heavier-duty applications, a more robust model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this trolley fits your workflow or you need guidance on the right specification for your site, the team is happy to help.

The Bolero luggage cart is a full-size brushed stainless steel trolley designed for hotels, conference centres, and serviced apartments where both load capacity and presentation matter in public-facing areas. Built from 18/08 stainless steel, it carries a clean, professional finish that holds up well against the regular knocks and contact it will receive in a busy reception or service corridor environment.

With a 350kg maximum load capacity, the trolley is well suited to moving large volumes of luggage in a single trip, which is particularly useful during check-in and check-out peaks when porter time is stretched. The four-wheel configuration — two swivel and two fixed — provides good directional stability when loaded, making the trolley manageable for a single member of staff even under substantial weight. At 42kg unloaded, it has a reassuringly solid build without being awkward to manoeuvre empty.

Features that translate well into day-to-day front-of-house use include:

• Carpeted loading base that cushions luggage and reduces the risk of scuffing or marking
• Protective bumpers around the frame to absorb contact with walls, lift interiors, and door frames
• Brushed stainless finish that resists fingerprints and wipes down quickly between uses
• Wide, stable footprint that accommodates varied luggage sizes when stacking
• Four-wheel layout balancing straight-line tracking under load with reasonable turning ability

The trolley stands at just over 1.9 metres tall, so it is worth confirming ceiling clearance in service lifts and any low-access corridors before ordering. At 1120mm wide, standard single doorways may also be a practical consideration depending on your venue layout.

This cart is best suited to venues with regular, high-volume luggage handling requirements. For smaller properties or venues where storage space is limited, a more compact option may be a better fit. For very high-turnover sites operating multiple carts simultaneously, it is worth discussing fleet requirements rather than selecting on a single-unit basis.

If you would like to talk through whether this trolley suits your venue layout and operational demands, the team is glad to help.

This is a small-format mobile utility trolley constructed from polypropylene, designed for general-purpose movement of goods, supplies, or equipment around a commercial kitchen, storeroom, or service area. The frame is built to handle everyday operational demands without the weight penalty of stainless steel alternatives.

In busy kitchen and hospitality environments, a reliable trolley earns its place quickly. Whether it is moving bulk dry goods between the delivery bay and dry store, shifting crockery between wash-up and service, or acting as a mobile station during prep, polypropylene construction holds up well to regular knocks, spills, and cleaning. The 130kg load capacity means it can handle meaningful loads without strain on the frame.

Key practical advantages for day-to-day use include:

• Lightweight enough to manoeuvre easily without requiring significant effort
• Polypropylene shelves resist moisture, grease, and common cleaning chemicals
• Mobile design reduces unnecessary lifting and staff fatigue during busy service periods
• Clip-on refuse and cutlery bins available separately, adding flexibility to the trolley's role
• Compact footprint suits tighter back-of-house corridors and storage areas

Installation considerations are minimal — this trolley requires no fixed connection to power, gas, or water. The main practical question is whether the wheel specification suits your floor surface and whether the width clears your doorways and corridor access points. At 825mm wide, it fits comfortably through most standard commercial kitchen doorways, though it is worth checking pinch points in older premises.

This trolley is well suited to smaller catering operations, hotels, school kitchens, and care homes where a versatile utility trolley is needed for moderate daily loads. For sites handling very high volumes or heavier loads on a continuous basis, a larger or heavier-duty model may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your workflow or want to discuss alternatives, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Sammic extra strong transport trolley is a heavy-duty, two-shelf stainless steel trolley built for the daily rigours of a working commercial kitchen. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel throughout — both the welded tubular frame and the deep-drawn shelves — it is designed to move substantial loads reliably and repeatedly without the flex or wear you tend to see in lighter-gauge alternatives.

In practice, these trolleys earn their place in busy kitchens where heavy pots, gastronorm containers, crates of produce, or bulk storage items need to be moved between prep, service, and storage areas with as little effort as possible. The rounded shelf surfaces reduce noise during transit, which matters in open-plan or pass-adjacent environments where clatter travels. Four rubber swivel castors — two of which are fitted with brakes — give good manoeuvrability on smooth kitchen floors while holding the trolley securely in place when it needs to stay put.

Key practical advantages include:

• Welded stainless steel construction throughout for long-term hygiene and durability
• Rounded, soundproofed shelf surfaces reduce service noise
• Two braked castors prevent unintended movement during loading and unloading
• Rubber bumpers protect walls, units, and the trolley itself from impact damage
• Straightforward to clean down at the end of service

This trolley requires no installation — it arrives ready to use on a level, smooth floor surface. It is best suited to kitchens with adequate aisle widths to allow free movement, and the standard four-castor configuration works well on solid, even flooring. It is worth noting that heavy loads on uneven or damaged flooring can affect handling and castor longevity over time.

A two-shelf configuration suits most general transport and storage tasks across restaurant, hotel, contract catering, and institutional kitchens. Where the volume or weight of loads being moved is consistently very high, or where a third shelf would meaningfully increase efficiency, a three-shelf variant is also available in the same range.

If you are unsure whether this configuration is the right fit for your kitchen layout or load requirements, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

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 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 is a large-format mobile utility trolley from Vogue, constructed from polypropylene throughout. It is designed to carry and transport goods, equipment, or supplies around a commercial kitchen, hotel, or catering establishment safely and with minimal effort. With a rated capacity of 130kg, it handles substantial loads across a full shift without issue.

In practice, trolleys of this type are workhorses in busy back-of-house environments. Whether used for transporting crockery, bulk dry goods, linen, cleaning supplies, or waste, the polypropylene construction resists moisture, grease, and the general punishment of a working kitchen. It will not corrode and is straightforward to wipe down at the end of service. The wheeled base makes repositioning quick, which matters when kitchen layouts need to flex around service demands.

From an operational standpoint, this trolley earns its place through durability and versatility:

• Polypropylene surfaces resist moisture, staining, and common cleaning chemicals
• Suitable for a wide range of transport tasks across different departments
• 130kg capacity supports heavy loads without compromising manoeuvrability
• Compatible with Vogue clip-on refuse containers and cutlery bins, available separately
• Robust frame construction stands up to regular commercial use

At 980mm tall and 1070mm wide, this is a large trolley and it benefits from a reasonable amount of corridor or service area clearance. It weighs 16kg empty, so consider this when planning storage. It requires no installation in the conventional sense — no electrical or plumbing connections — but the footprint should be accounted for in any space planning exercise.

This trolley suits medium to large operations with regular transport demands: hotels, event catering kitchens, hospital catering, and busy restaurants. For lighter-duty or smaller-footprint applications, a compact version may be a more practical fit. For sites with unusually heavy or specialist transport requirements, it is worth reviewing the broader range.

If you are unsure which size or configuration best matches your site, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

This Sammic transport trolley is a three-shelf, heavy-duty unit built for moving goods around a commercial kitchen, catering facility, or food production environment. The tubular frame and shelves are constructed from 18/10 stainless steel throughout, with welded joints rather than bolted connections — an important distinction in environments where regular cleaning and high loading are both facts of daily life.

In practice, trolleys like this earn their keep in back-of-house logistics: moving provisions from goods-in to cold storage, transporting GN pans between prep and service areas, or shifting equipment between sections of a large kitchen. The three-shelf configuration makes efficient use of vertical space without making the unit awkward to handle, and the deep-drawn shelves with rounded, sound-dampened surfaces help reduce the noise that comes with moving loaded equipment across a busy kitchen floor.

The build quality here is notably above the lighter general-purpose trolleys that populate many catalogue ranges. Key practical points include:

• Welded 18/10 stainless steel frame and shelves for rigorous daily use
• High load rating per shelf supports heavy gastronorm loads or equipment
• Four 125mm swivel rubber wheels, two with brakes for stable stationary positioning
• Rubber bumpers protect walls, counters, and adjacent equipment
• Deep-drawn shelves with soundproofed surface reduce noise in service

This trolley is well suited to hotel kitchens, hospital catering, contract catering operations, and any site where trolleys are in near-constant use and durability matters more than price. It is less well matched to light-use environments where a standard-duty trolley would be sufficient. If your operation moves exceptionally heavy or awkward loads regularly, it is worth discussing whether a different configuration would serve you better.

If you are fitting out a new kitchen or replacing ageing trolleys across a large site, our team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your specific workflow before you commit.

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.

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 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.
