• Plate protection: The polyethylene structure with rounded corners significantly reduces damage and chipping during daily transport and handling.
• Loading flexibility: The 6 adjustable dividers allow plates of various sizes to be organized in the same caddy, simplifying preparation and transport management.
• Optimized capacity: The ability to adapt the configuration allows full utilization of available space with loads from 45 to 60 plates per trip.
• Maneuverability: The mixed wheel system (127 mm and 254 mm) ensures ease of movement on both regular surfaces and in confined environments.
• Hygienic compliance: The vinyl protection ensures compliance with food hygiene protocols and facilitates cleaning and sanitizing operations.
• Durability: The polyethylene resists daily wear and common temperatures in catering environments, requiring minimal maintenance.

The dish caddy is essential in contexts of collective catering and catering services, where it is necessary to organize, transport, and distribute plates efficiently and safely.

In restaurants and trattorias, it allows easy movement between kitchen and dining room, optimizing service times even in limited spaces. In school, hospital, and corporate canteens, it facilitates the standardized distribution of large volumes of meals, maintaining order and reducing preparation times. For catering and banqueting services, it represents a fundamental tool for transporting pre-arranged plates to multiple locations, preserving their presentation.

It is also suitable for diners and rotisseries, where service volume requires an organized plate movement system. The versatility of the load capacity also makes it suitable for buffets and events, where managing different sized plates in a single solution is necessary.

Choose this caddy when efficient management of large quantities of plates is a priority and damage to services represents a recurring cost. It is the correct solution if you operate in environments where plate standardization varies between courses (dessert plates, dinner plates, soup plates) and you need a single versatile piece of equipment.

It is particularly useful when movement space is limited and maneuverability in corridors, elevators, and service areas is an operational constraint. Polyethylene is the right choice if ease of cleaning and hygienic compliance are non-negotiable requirements, as in canteens and healthcare facilities.

Consider this product if the ratio between load capacity and footprint is critical for your operation, allowing you to reduce trips and optimize service times. It is also ideal when looking for low maintenance and long-term durability, as polyethylene resists temperature fluctuations and requires no special treatments.

How many plates can I transport with a single caddy?

Capacity varies from 45 to 60 plates depending on their diameter. For plates of 254 mm or larger, 2-4 dividers are needed, while for plates of 203-248 mm, all 6 dividers must be used. The compatible diameter ranges from a minimum of 140 mm to a maximum of 318 mm.

How are the dividers adjusted?

The 6 dividers are adjustable to fit the specific dimensions of the plates you intend to transport. The configuration depends on the diameter: use fewer dividers for larger plates, and all dividers for medium-small diameter plates, to maximize stability and capacity.

What is the difference compared to stainless steel caddies?

Polyethylene offers superior protection against chipping thanks to rounded corners and does not transfer cold to the plates like stainless steel. It is also lighter to move, requires less maintenance, and does not require polishing. Stainless steel is preferable if you need greater structural rigidity or if the plates have very high temperature requirements.

Is the vinyl protection hygienically safe for food?

Yes, the vinyl protection used complies with hygiene standards for indirect food contact. It allows for easy cleaning and regular sanitization without compromising its integrity, making it suitable for canteens, hospitals, and catering services where hygiene protocols are strict.

Are the wheels suitable for all types of flooring?

The mixed wheel system (127 mm and 254 mm) is designed to ensure maneuverability on standard kitchen, dining room, and corridor flooring. On irregular or outdoor flooring, the larger diameter wheels offer better stability, but it is advisable to check the specific conditions of your environment.

Can I use this caddy in a kitchen with high temperatures?

Polyethylene supports common temperatures in catering environments (0-50°C). It is not suitable for extreme freezing or intense direct heat contexts (ovens, hot plates). For applications with very high temperatures, it is preferable to consider alternatives in more resistant materials such as steel.
