Delivery Information
Price Match
The Matfer Bourgeat self-clearing cafeteria trolley is a stainless steel tray collection unit designed for use in canteens, staff restaurants, educational catering facilities, and similar high-footfall environments where used trays need to be gathered efficiently from the servery or dining floor and returned to the wash area.
Built to accommodate up to 24 standard cafeteria trays loaded side by side, the trolley uses consistent shelf spacing to keep stacks stable during transit and minimises the handling required between collection and the dishwash station. The stainless steel construction holds up well under the daily demands of busy clearing operations — resistance to moisture, food soiling, and repeated cleaning is important in this type of role, and the material choice reflects that.
In practical terms, this type of trolley helps operations maintain a clean dining area through service without requiring repeated individual tray runs. Key operational advantages include:
- Consolidates tray clearing into fewer, more efficient trips
- Stainless steel construction withstands wet environments and repeated cleaning
- Compatible with standard cafeteria tray formats commonly found in UK operations
- Stable shelf configuration reduces spillage risk during transit
- Straightforward to clean down between service periods
No electrical or plumbing connection is required. The trolley is a free-standing mobile unit, so placement and routing will depend on your dining room layout and the distance between the dining floor and wash area. At 31kg unloaded, it is worth considering the loaded weight when fully stacked — approximately 120kg — and whether your kitchen access routes and flooring are suitable for that load on castors.
This trolley is well suited to medium-volume canteen and cafeteria operations. For very high-volume sites turning over trays continuously throughout a long service period, it may be worth discussing whether a higher-capacity or more heavy-duty option would better match your throughput requirements.
If you are fitting out a new cafeteria or replacing existing clearing equipment, the team is happy to talk through how this fits into your overall front-of-house workflow.
Frequently asked questions
How many trays can this trolley hold, and what tray sizes does it accept?
The trolley holds up to 24 trays loaded side by side and is designed to accept standard cafeteria tray formats in the range of 460x360mm to 480x370mm. If your operation uses non-standard tray sizes, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering.
Is this trolley suitable for continuous use across a long lunch service?
It is well suited to medium-volume canteen operations where trays are cleared in batches. In very high-volume sites with continuous tray flow throughout an extended service, you may find that a higher-capacity trolley — or additional units running in rotation — would better match the throughput required.
What should we consider regarding weight and access routes?
When fully loaded with 24 trays, the total weight can reach approximately 120kg. It is worth checking that your dining room flooring, any ramps or thresholds, and the access route to your dishwash area are suitable for that loaded weight on castors before the trolley is put into regular use.
