• Food hygiene and compliance with regulations: The construction in AISI 304 stainless steel meets the strictest HACCP requirements and European standards, allowing for deep sanitization with pressure washers or industrial detergents without risk of oxidation.
• Zeroing of accidental falls with the safety rod: The presence of the vertical rod physically blocks the 16 GN 1/1 containers during maneuvers and direction changes, preventing the risk of tipping over liquid or hot dishes.
• High logistical capacity in small spaces: By developing the load vertically up to 1,700 mm in height on a compact footprint of only 380x550 mm, the trolley allows for the storage of up to 110 kg total, freeing up vital space on work surfaces.
• Silent and smooth handling in rooms: The large diameter wheels (125 mm) absorb vibrations and floor irregularities, ensuring an extremely quiet transit suitable also for passage in hotel dining rooms.
• Stable and safe stopping in departments: The two integrated brakes on the wheels allow the trolley to be firmly locked even on damp floors or near washing ramps, offering a perfectly immobile loading-unloading station.
• Ergonomic and aerated insertion: The distance between the guides calibrated at 80 mm ensures excellent air circulation between the shelves (ideal for blast chilling or leavening) and a comfortable grip of the trays with a width of 328 mm.

This professional tray trolley finds its perfect placement within the kitchens of restaurants, hotels, accommodation facilities and large corporate or school canteens. It is an indispensable piece of equipment for gastronomy laboratories, catering cooking centers and dishwashing departments, where rapid unloading of dirty trays or organization of trays before service is required. Thanks to compliance with food standards and the thermal shock resistance of AISI 304 steel, it can be inserted directly into large storage cold rooms or positioned in hot zones adjacent to combi ovens.

The h418_157 model is the right choice when a robust, CE certified and durable vertical storage support for GN 1/1 trays is needed, designed to withstand continuous work cycles without undergoing structural deformations. It represents the ideal solution for catering businesses that want to combine load stability (up to 13 kg per shelf) with the maximum maneuverability provided by the 125 mm wheels. Choosing this trolley means investing in a superior quality product in pure stainless steel, which eliminates maintenance costs and guarantees the safety of staff through fundamental operational details such as the retaining rod and the double parking brake.

What is meant by "safety rod" and how does it affect daily work?

The safety rod is a vertical locking device located on the insertion front of the trolley. Once the positioning of the 16 GN 1/1 trays is completed, the rod is positioned to block the exit of the guides. This system prevents the containers from sliding forward due to inertia during braking, acceleration or overcoming small bumps and floor joints.

Are the guides of this trolley compatible with trays or platters other than the GN 1/1 format?

The internal geometry of the trolley is specifically engineered for the Gastronorm 1/1 standard, with a net insertion width of 328 mm and a fixed lateral center-to-center distance. It is possible to house submultiples (such as GN 1/2 or GN 1/3 trays) only if previously inserted inside false frames or GN 1/1 mother trays that act as a support on the guides with a distance of 80 mm.

Can the AISI 304 stainless steel of this trolley be placed inside ovens or blast chillers?

AISI 304 stainless steel has excellent thermal properties that allow it to withstand both the very low temperatures of freezing rooms and heat. However, the presence of the 4 wheels of 125 mm (which include rubber components and brake systems) limits the use of the trolley inside high-temperature cooking ovens. It is instead perfect for insertion in cold rooms, roll-in blast chillers and neutral preparation areas.
