EAIS Gastro 1/1 Trolleys – Full Height & Low Level

These EAIS Gastronorm 1/1 trolleys are fully welded stainless steel units built for the storage and movement of full-size gastronorm trays in working commercial kitchens. Two configurations are available: a full height version in 10, 15, or 20-tier arrangements to suit different tray volumes, and a lower-level 7-tier model with an integrated solid worktop that doubles as a pass or preparation surface. The choice between them generally comes down to the volume of trays being handled and how the kitchen workflow is organised.

In daily service, trolleys like these take a lot of punishment — constant loading, unloading, and movement across hard kitchen floors throughout the day. The fully welded construction matters here because it removes the risk of joints working loose over time, which is one of the more common failure points on lighter-built alternatives. The 125mm castors with bumpers handle movement through service corridors well enough, and the bumpers offer a reasonable degree of protection to walls and surrounding equipment during busier periods.

• Retaining edges front and rear on each tray slide prevent trays shifting during transit
• Low-level model includes a solid worktop for use as a pass or preparation surface
• Fully welded stainless steel construction eliminates the joint failures seen in lesser-built units
• 125mm castors with bumpers aid manoeuvring and reduce impact damage to surroundings
• Multiple tier configurations allow matching to tray volume or the floor space available

As mobile units, no fixed installation is required. It is worth considering floor surfaces and drainage channel positions when deciding where these will operate day to day — uneven or heavily channelled floors can affect stability and ease of movement. The full height models suit kitchens with adequate ceiling clearance where bulk tray storage is the priority. The low-level version works well where lower access to trays is preferable, or where a combined storage and work surface is useful in a confined space.

These trolleys are well suited to central production kitchens, hospital and education catering, and banqueting operations where large numbers of gastronorm trays need to be stored and moved efficiently between preparation and service areas. Smaller operations handling modest tray volumes may find the 10-tier full height or 7-tier low-level models more than adequate, while high-volume continuous production sites may want to consider whether a heavier-duty option is more appropriate alongside these.

If you are working out which configuration suits your layout and the volume you handle, the team is happy to talk it through.
