Cambro Madeira Laminate Canteen Tray 460mm

Name: Cambro Madeira Laminate Canteen Tray 460mm
Brand: Cambro
SKU: DR585
Availability: InStock

The Cambro Madeira is a laminate canteen tray with a woodgrain surface finish, available in Light Oak, Brown Oak, Dark Oak and Light Olive. It is constructed from food-grade melamine laminate, giving it a warmer, more natural appearance than standard solid-colour trays while remaining suitable for food contact use. At 460 x 360mm it sits within the most common tray format used across cafeteria and self-service counters in the UK.

In day-to-day service, laminate trays of this type hold up well under the repeated handling, stacking, and sliding that comes with high-turnover cafeteria use. The material is resistant to the light knocks and scuffs of a busy service line, and at 670g the tray is light enough for customers of all ages to carry a full meal load without difficulty. The temperature tolerance of -10°C to 100°C means it can move between chilled display and hot food service without warping or distorting.

Easy to wipe down between sittings, supporting a clean and efficient turnaround
Lightweight enough to reduce fatigue for customers in high-volume self-service settings
Consistent stacking keeps service counters tidy during peak periods
Food-safe laminate surface does not taint food or beverages
Woodgrain finish in four colours suits operators looking to move away from purely utilitarian canteen aesthetics

This tray requires no installation consideration. It is a ready-to-use smallware. For operations running large tray volumes, it is worth confirming your tray dispenser or trolley dimensions are compatible with the 460 x 360mm footprint before ordering in quantity.

The Madeira is well suited to staff restaurants, hospital and education canteens, and any self-service operation where a cleaner visual presentation matters alongside practical durability. Operators running very high daily cover counts may want to consider heavier-duty or more abrasion-resistant tray options.

Frequently asked questions

Will this tray fit standard UK cafeteria tray dispensers and trolleys?

The 460 x 360mm footprint is one of the most widely used tray sizes in UK self-service catering, and it is compatible with most standard dispensers and transport trolleys. If you are matching existing equipment, it is worth confirming the dispenser's accepted tray dimensions before ordering in bulk.

Is the laminate surface durable enough for high-turnover canteen use?

Melamine laminate trays are a proven choice for busy cafeteria and canteen environments. The surface resists everyday scuffs and light impact well, though like all laminate products it can show wear over time in very high-volume operations. For sites with extremely heavy daily throughput, a heavier-duty tray construction may offer longer service life.

Can these trays go through a commercial dishwasher?

The tray is rated for -10°C to 100°C. To preserve the surface finish over time, use a low-temperature cycle or hand washing, and check your dishwasher's cycle temperatures against that range before washing in volume. If your site uses high-temperature pass-through machines, ask the team before ordering in bulk.
