£59.22(£71.06 inc VAT)
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.
£59.22(£71.06 inc VAT)
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.
£33.31(£39.97 inc VAT)
With food preparation being an important aspect in your kitchen, this HDPE assorted colour polyethylene cutting board set is perfect for safely and effectively preparing your food. Perfect for adopting the colour-coded system, this set ensures safety is the main priority when in the kitchen. This board set comes with 6 assorted colours: brown, blue, green, red, white and yellow.
| 18" X 12" X 1/2" (457mm x 305mm x 13mm) |
£81.65(£97.98 inc VAT)
This six-piece chopping board set from Thunder Group is made from high density polyethylene and supplied in six distinct colours — brown, blue, green, red, white, and yellow — making it well suited to kitchens operating a colour-coded food preparation system. Each board is the same size, so the set works as a coordinated collection rather than a mixed-size assortment.
High density polyethylene is a practical and widely used material in commercial food preparation. It resists moisture absorption, handles repeated knife contact without excessive scarring, and holds up well through regular commercial dishwasher cycles. It is also non-porous, which supports basic hygiene practice between cleaning cycles.
The primary operational value of this set is in supporting colour segregation — a straightforward way to reduce cross-contamination risk by assigning boards to specific food types or allergen categories:
- Brown — cooked meats
- Blue — raw fish
- Green — fruit and vegetables
- Red — raw red meat
- White — dairy and bakery
- Yellow — raw poultry
Having a matched set of identical boards simplifies storage, replacement, and staff training, and makes it easier to enforce consistent prep habits across a busy kitchen team.
These boards are suited to prep kitchens of most sizes — from smaller independent sites through to larger operations where a dedicated set per section is the norm. For kitchens handling very high prep volumes or requiring heavier-duty boards with greater thickness, it is worth considering a more substantial option from the wider range.
If you are putting together a full colour-coded prep setup or have questions about what works best for your kitchen's workflow, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Thunder Group PLTC032G is a large-capacity, high-density plastic waste bin designed for back-of-house use in commercial kitchens and food service environments. At 121 litres, it offers a practical solution for collecting general waste, dry waste, or recyclables without requiring constant emptying during a busy service period.
In a working kitchen environment, waste management is often an afterthought until it becomes a problem. A bin of this capacity suits busy prep areas, pot wash stations, and service corridors where smaller bins get filled too quickly and become a workflow interruption. High-density plastic construction holds up well against the knocks and kicks that are part of daily kitchen life, and the grey finish is a common choice for back-of-house areas where a neutral, unobtrusive appearance is preferred.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Large 121 litre capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during service
- High-density plastic construction resists cracking and impact in busy environments
- Compatible with an optional open-centre lid to allow easy, hands-free disposal
- Smooth interior surfaces support quick cleaning and basic hygiene maintenance
- Neutral grey finish suits back-of-house and service corridor use
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding unit that works wherever it is placed. It is worth confirming that the footprint suits your available floor space, particularly in tighter prep areas or corridors where movement of staff and stock trolleys needs to remain unobstructed. For sites generating higher volumes of waste, or where segregated waste streams are required, larger or additional units may be worth considering.
This bin is well suited to commercial kitchens, canteens, catering operations, and food production facilities looking for a reliable, no-fuss waste container for general back-of-house use. It is a straightforward product, but if you are trying to work out the right number of units or bin placement for your operation, the team is happy to help.
From £53.32(£63.98 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group PLTC044G is a large-capacity plastic waste bin designed for back-of-house use in commercial kitchens, catering facilities, and food service environments. Built from high-density plastic in a neutral grey finish, it is straightforward in purpose: reliable containment of kitchen waste at volume.
In a working kitchen, a bin of this size earns its place during long service periods where frequent changeovers interrupt workflow. The 166-litre capacity means less time managing waste and more time focused on service, which is a practical advantage in high-throughput environments such as contract catering, events kitchens, and busy restaurant back-of-house areas.
- High-density plastic construction resists knocks and daily operational wear
- Large capacity reduces the frequency of bin changes during service
- Neutral grey finish suits most back-of-house environments
- Compatible with an optional open-centre lid for added hygiene control
- Straightforward to clean down at the end of service
There are no installation requirements — this is a freestanding unit that simply needs adequate floor space in a suitable back-of-house area. Consider the footprint when positioning near prep stations or wash areas, and ensure the location allows for straightforward liner removal and replacement without obstruction.
This bin is well suited to operations generating significant waste volume during service — hotels, contract caterers, events venues, and larger restaurant kitchens. For smaller operations or front-of-house use, a lower-capacity bin may be more practical; for very high-volume sites managing food waste at scale, it is worth considering whether a more robust or purpose-specific waste solution would better fit the workflow.
If you are unsure which capacity or configuration suits your site, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Thunder Group SEJ50000T is a countertop electric rice cooker built for commercial kitchens where rice is a regular part of the menu. It produces up to 30 cups of cooked rice per batch using an aluminium inner pot with a non-stick coating, then switches automatically to a keep-warm mode once cooking is complete. Operation is straightforward — a single switch controls the whole cycle, which keeps staff focus where it belongs during a busy service.
In practice, this style of cooker suits kitchens that need consistent, hands-off rice production without dedicating staff time to monitoring it. The automatic warm-hold function keeps cooked rice at a serviceable temperature between orders, which is a genuine operational advantage during peak periods. Operators running continuous high-volume output should be aware that a single 30-cup unit may not keep pace with demand across multiple sittings; running two units in rotation is a common approach in higher-throughput environments.
- Non-stick inner pot reduces sticking and simplifies post-service cleaning
- Automatic keep-warm mode holds rice at serving temperature without supervision
- Single-switch operation reduces training time for kitchen staff
- Compact countertop footprint suits tight back-of-house workspaces
- Aluminium inner pot promotes even heat distribution through the cooking cycle
This is a plug-in countertop appliance — no gas or water connections are required. Ensure the worksurface has adequate clearance above and around the unit to allow steam to vent freely during cooking, and that it sits on a stable, heat-resistant surface clear of flammable materials. A standard electrical socket is all that is needed to get it running.
The SEJ50000T is well suited to small and medium operations where rice features regularly on the menu — Asian restaurants, takeaways, staff canteens, and similar settings. For sites producing large volumes of rice continuously throughout the day, a higher-capacity unit or a bank of cookers may be worth considering.
If you're working out whether a 30-cup unit will meet your service volumes, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.
£70.36(£84.43 inc VAT)
The Thunder Group SEJ31000C is a countertop soup warmer designed for self-service and assisted-service environments. It holds a generous volume of soup or other hot liquids at a consistent serving temperature, making it a practical addition to buffet lines, cafeteria counters, catering events, and banqueting setups where soup needs to be available and ready throughout a service period.
In a buffet or catering context, reliable heat retention is more important than rapid heating. This warmer is built around that principle — once brought up to temperature, it maintains a steady hold without requiring constant attention from service staff. The adjustable temperature control allows operators to dial in the right setting depending on the liquid being served, whether that is a light broth or a heavier cream-based soup.
From a practical standpoint, a few features make day-to-day use straightforward:
- Non-stick coated inner pot simplifies cleaning at the end of service
- Stainless steel construction is durable and suitable for regular commercial use
- Adjustable temperature control supports a range of hot-hold requirements
- Mirror-finish exterior presents well in front-of-house settings
This is a straightforward piece of equipment with no complex installation requirements — it operates from a standard electrical supply and simply sits on a counter. It is not designed to heat soup from cold, so food should be brought up to temperature in a separate piece of equipment before being transferred to the warmer for service.
This warmer suits cafés, hotel breakfast operations, buffet restaurants, and contract catering teams that need a reliable, easy-to-manage soup station for service. For very high-volume sites running extended service windows or multiple soups simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a larger-capacity or purpose-built bain-marie station would serve the operation better.
If you are unsure whether this suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
