• Guaranteed hygiene: the antibacterial properties of AISI 304 stainless steel reduce the risk of microbiological contamination of food products.
• Corrosion resistance: the rustproof nature of the material eliminates rust and oxidation, even in humid and refrigerated environments, extending the trolley’s service life.
• Ease of cleaning: the smooth surface allows for deep and rapid sanitization, compliant with HACCP protocols.
• Non-magnetism: the material does not attract metallic particles, avoiding accidental contamination in the products.
• Operational robustness: the resistant structure supports significant loads, ensuring stability during transport and storage.
• Regulatory compliance: AISI 304 stainless steel meets European standards for food contact (EC 1935/2004).

This trolley is intended for butcher shops, cured meat factories, dairies, and food industries where internal transport and storage of protein products (cured meats, cheeses, meats) require rigorous hygienic conditions.

It is particularly suitable for refrigerated environments and curing rooms, where high humidity and controlled temperatures involve corrosion risks for conventional materials. The sized structure allows for easy movement between production departments, packaging areas, and storage rooms.

It also finds application in food distribution centers, specialized warehouses, and professional catering services where it is necessary to maintain traceability and food safety standards.

Choose this trolley when operating in a context where microbiological contamination represents a critical risk and food regulations (HACCP, FSSC 22000) are binding. AISI 304 stainless steel is the optimal compromise between antibacterial performance, corrosion resistance, and low management costs.

It is the correct solution if your environment includes refrigerated rooms, curing rooms, or high-humidity zones, where alternative materials (carbon steel, non-noble alloys) would degrade rapidly.

Prefer this model if your cleaning procedures follow rigorous protocols and you need a trolley that withstands frequent washing with alkaline detergents without compromising structural integrity.

What is the difference between AISI 304 stainless steel and other stainless steels?

AISI 304 contains chromium and nickel in proportions optimized for food contact. It offers superior corrosion resistance compared to steels with lower nickel content (AISI 430) and costs less than higher grades (AISI 316, used in marine-saline environments). For indoor food applications in refrigerated rooms, AISI 304 is the reference standard.

Does it comply with European regulations for food contact?

Yes. AISI 304 stainless steel complies with EC Regulation 1935/2004 and Article 4 concerning materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. It also meets the requirements of HACCP regulations and allows for FSSC 22000 certification in food companies.

How resistant is the structure to impacts and loads?

The robust structure is sized to support significant loads typical of the food sector (whole wheels of cheese, baskets of cured meats). The mechanical strength of AISI 304 stainless steel is comparable to carbon steel in terms of rigidity. For exceptional loads, consult the maximum load specifications of the structure.

How is cleaning and sanitization performed?

The smooth surface allows for manual or mechanical washing with hot water, neutral or slightly alkaline detergents, and food-grade disinfectants. Avoid corrosive detergents based on concentrated chlorine. Rapid drying prevents water spots. The antibacterial nature of the material reduces sanitization time compared to other supports.

In what temperature range can it operate?

AISI 304 stainless steel maintains its structural properties up to 400°C in continuous service. For applications in refrigerated rooms (−18 °C to +4 °C), the material does not suffer from thermal brittleness. It is suitable for both freezer environments and controlled curing rooms.
