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.
£265.00(£318.00 inc VAT)
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.
£352.00(£422.40 inc VAT)
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.
£621.00(£745.20 inc VAT)
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.
If you would like to talk through whether this trolley fits your service layout or existing pan inventory, the team is happy to help.
£248.00(£297.60 inc VAT)
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.
£800.00(£960.00 inc VAT)
The Cambro Versa Dish Caddy is a free-standing plate storage and transport trolley designed to hold round plates up to 241mm in diameter across five columns. It can also be reconfigured to carry smaller square plates across four or five columns, which makes it a practical option for operations running mixed crockery without needing separate storage solutions for each format. A vinyl cover is included as standard to keep plated stacks protected and hygienic between service periods.
In a working dishwash area, the open-column layout allows plates to be loaded and unloaded quickly without awkward manoeuvring — important when a team is turning covers at pace and every second in the wash cycle matters. Moulded handles at each end support controlled two-person transport when the caddy is fully loaded. Front swivel castors with a brake allow precise positioning at the pass or service station, while the larger rear wheels assist with movement across the kitchen floor.
- Polyethylene construction resists rust, cracking, denting, and chipping under regular commercial use
- Swivel castors with brake for controlled positioning in service areas
- Open-access column design for rapid plate loading and unloading
- Vinyl cover included to maintain plate hygiene between services
- Moulded end handles support safe two-person movement when fully laden
This caddy is well suited to mid- and high-volume operations — banqueting kitchens, hotel restaurants, contract catering facilities, and busy restaurant dishwash areas where crockery throughput is high and storage needs to be mobile. Its value lies in that mobility: shifting loaded plates efficiently from the wash area to the pass rather than replacing static shelving. Operations running significantly larger plate formats, or those integrating multiple caddies into a wider transport system, should confirm that the column configuration suits their full workflow before ordering.
If you would like to talk through whether this caddy fits your plate sizes or service pattern, the team is happy to help.
£282.00(£338.40 inc VAT)
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.
£849.00(£1,018.80 inc VAT)
The Cambro TC1418401 is a self-contained mobile cart designed to consolidate trays and flatware into a single, organised unit at a self-service station. It combines a tray storage section with eight clear Camwear food pans sized to hold cutlery, napkins, and non-perishable condiments, keeping everything within easy reach of customers moving along a servery line. A vinyl cover is included to protect the contents when the station is closed or between sittings.
In practice, this type of unit earns its place in cafeterias, staff canteens, school dining halls, and healthcare catering environments where an orderly service point makes a genuine difference during busy periods. Bringing trays and ancillary items together in one mobile unit reduces clutter at the servery, cuts down the number of separate trolleys staff need to manage, and makes restocking more straightforward between meal services.
The practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:
- Trays and accessories combined in one unit, keeping the servery tidy under pressure
- Clear Camwear pans allow staff and customers to identify contents at a glance
- Vinyl cover maintains hygiene and protects contents when the station is not in use
- No tools required to restock or reposition between sittings
- No fixed installation needed, making it suitable for flexible or changing servery layouts
As a free-standing, non-powered unit there are no electrical, gas, or water connections to arrange. It should be positioned on a level, stable floor surface with sufficient clearance for customers to access the tray stack comfortably. It is worth confirming that the cart fits your servery configuration before ordering, as aisle widths and counter arrangements vary considerably between sites.
This cart is well suited to medium-volume self-service operations. Very high-throughput environments, or sites with unusually constrained servery space, may find a different configuration more practical. If you are setting up or reconfiguring a self-service station and want to talk through whether this unit suits your layout, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£366.00(£439.20 inc VAT)
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.
£288.00(£345.60 inc VAT)
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.
From £420.00(£504.00 inc VAT)
This Sammic gastronorm tray trolley is a high-capacity mobile storage solution designed to hold and transport GN 1/1 trays within a commercial kitchen environment. The trolley uses a welded stainless steel AISI 304 square tubular frame with C-shaped guides on each tier, allowing trays to slide in and out cleanly during service or prep. The high-format version accommodates 17 GN 1/1 trays in standard configuration, though the design allows the same unit to carry significantly more trays when two trays per guide are used — making it genuinely versatile across different workflow demands.
In practice, trolleys like this earn their place in banqueting operations, central production kitchens, hospitals, and large-scale catering facilities where large numbers of prepared trays need to move between preparation, blast chilling, holding, and service points efficiently. The C-shaped guides with push-through protection keep trays secure during transit without slowing staff down at pace. Four 125mm swivel castors, two of which are braked, keep the unit stable when stationary and manoeuvrable across kitchen floors when loaded.
Key practical features include:
- AISI 304 stainless steel construction throughout for durability and hygiene compliance
- C-shaped guides with push-through protection to retain trays securely in transit
- 125mm swivel castors — two with brake — for controlled positioning and movement
- Rubber bumpers to protect kitchen surfaces and fittings from impact
- High-tier configuration suitable for centralised tray management at volume
There are no gas, water, or electrical connections required — the trolley is purely mechanical and can be put to use immediately on delivery. Consideration should be given to aisle width and doorway clearances within your kitchen, particularly when the trolley is loaded to full capacity, as the overall height and footprint become relevant in tight preparation or storage areas. The castors are appropriate for smooth commercial kitchen flooring; heavily uneven surfaces may affect manoeuvrability.
This trolley is well suited to banqueting venues, hospital catering, contract catering kitchens, and similar high-volume operations where GN compatibility is already built into the workflow. If your operation runs on a smaller scale or requires fewer tiers, lower-capacity versions of this trolley are available. For very large central production facilities managing exceptional tray volumes, it may be worth discussing whether a different configuration would serve you better.
If you're unsure whether this specification matches your service model or kitchen layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
£519.00(£622.80 inc VAT)
This Sammic trolley is designed to transport and store bakery and pastry trays in a commercial kitchen environment. The frame is constructed from welded stainless steel square tube with L-shaped guides that accept standard bakery trays, keeping them secure and evenly spaced during transit or resting between production stages. The guides include push-through protection, which prevents trays from being accidentally pushed too far and dropping.
In a working bakery or pastry section, this type of trolley earns its place quickly. It keeps proofing trays, baking sheets, and cooling trays organised and off worksurfaces, which matters during a busy production run when bench space is at a premium. The fixed guide spacing means trays load and unload consistently without adjustment, reducing handling time and the risk of dropped product.
Practical advantages for day-to-day use include:
- Stainless steel AISI 304 construction throughout for durability and hygiene compliance
- L-shaped guides with push-through protection for secure tray retention
- 125mm swivel castors for easy movement across kitchen floors
- Two braked castors to hold position during loading and unloading
- Rubber bumpers to protect walls, units, and other equipment
The trolley runs on 125mm diameter swivel castors, two of which are fitted with brakes. This is a practical detail in any production kitchen — a trolley loaded with full baking sheets needs to stay put while trays are being slid in or out. The rubber bumpers help protect tiled walls and adjacent equipment in tighter kitchen spaces.
This trolley is well suited to in-house bakeries, hotel pastry kitchens, catering production units, and any site producing volume baked goods. It is a tall trolley, so ceiling height and passage widths are worth confirming before ordering. For very high-volume operations requiring multiple trolleys or heavier-duty specifications, it is worth discussing your exact requirements with us first.
If you are unsure whether the guide spacing or overall dimensions suit your specific tray format, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£197.00(£236.40 inc VAT)
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.
£285.00(£342.00 inc VAT)
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.
£283.00(£339.60 inc VAT)
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.
From £330.00(£396.00 inc VAT)
This is a stainless steel gastronorm tray trolley from Sammic, designed to store and transport GN 1/1 trays safely around a commercial kitchen. The trolley uses C-shaped guides to keep trays securely in position during movement, making it a practical choice for operations that regularly handle large volumes of plated or prepared food on gastronorm trays.
In a working kitchen environment, trolleys like this are commonly used in banqueting, central production, staff canteen, and high-volume restaurant settings where trays need to move efficiently between preparation, service, and wash-up areas. The welded stainless steel frame and robust castors are built to withstand the demands of regular daily use, and the push-through guide design helps prevent trays from sliding out unexpectedly during transit.
Key operational advantages include:
- C-shaped guides with push-through protection keep GN trays secure during movement
- Satin-finished stainless steel top tray provides a usable worktop surface
- Swivel castors with brakes on two wheels allow controlled positioning on service floors
- Rubber bumpers help protect walls, counters, and other equipment from impact
- Versatile guide spacing allows the trolley to carry single or double-stacked GN trays
These trolleys are floor-standing units that require no installation as such, but it is worth checking that the route between kitchen areas — including any ramps, door widths, or lift access — can accommodate the trolley's footprint when fully loaded. Loaded GN trolleys can be considerably heavier than they appear, so ease of movement across different floor surfaces is worth considering before purchase.
This model is well suited to kitchens handling moderate tray volumes. For operations running significantly higher throughput or requiring a greater number of tray positions, a higher-capacity trolley from the same range is available. Equally, for sites with limited storage space, a lower-profile version may be more practical.
If you are unsure which configuration best matches your operation, our team is happy to talk through the options with you.
£375.00(£450.00 inc VAT)
The Craven glass tray trolley is a straightforward, well-built unit designed to hold three standard 500mm dishwasher baskets, making it a practical solution for moving clean glassware from the wash area to the bar or service point. Constructed from 304 stainless steel throughout, it is built to withstand the wet, high-traffic conditions typical of a busy bar or back-of-house environment.
In a working bar or event venue, the time between glasses coming out of the washer and being available on the floor matters. A dedicated trolley like this keeps the workflow moving — baskets load straight from the dishwasher rack and the trolley rolls to wherever replenishment is needed, without staff handling individual glasses unnecessarily. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down at the end of service.
Practical operational advantages include:
- Keeps glassware organised and reduces breakage during transit
- Accepts standard 500mm dishwasher baskets directly, cutting handling time
- Stainless steel construction is hygienic, durable, and easy to clean
- Manoeuvrable enough for bar and cellar environments with limited space
- Reduces the number of trips between wash area and service point
It is worth noting that dishwasher baskets are not included — you will need compatible 500mm x 500mm racks. The trolley's footprint and height suit most standard bar back-of-house setups, though it is worth checking your corridor and doorway clearances before ordering.
This trolley is well suited to pubs, hotels, event caterers, and restaurants with a dedicated glass wash area. For very high-volume venues running multiple glass washers simultaneously, it may be worth considering whether additional units or a higher-capacity alternative would better support your operation.
If you are unsure whether this trolley suits your setup or want to discuss your glassware workflow more broadly, the team is happy to help.

The Craven 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.
