• Safe transport of dishes: the slanted anti-tip base reduces the risk of plates falling and breaking during movements in the kitchen.
• Corrosion resistance: AISI 304 stainless steel maintains structural and aesthetic integrity even with frequent washing and damp environments typical of professional kitchens.
• Ergonomic handling: the 12.5 cm swivel wheels allow agile maneuvers in narrow corridors and passage areas without excessive effort.
• Infrastructure protection: grey rubber bumpers absorb accidental impacts against walls, pillars and other fixed structures.
• Easy maintenance: the stainless steel sheet surface and simple structure allow quick cleaning and total disinfection, compliant with food hygiene protocols.
• Reliable load capacity: the 120 kg capacity allows the simultaneous transport of a significant number of dishes without compromising stability and maneuverability.

The plate trolley is indispensable in professional kitchens during service for the fast collection of dirty dishes from tables and transport to the washing area. In company and school canteens it facilitates the organized distribution of clean dishes and the collection of used ones. In restaurants and hotels it supports brigade operations and room service, ensuring continuity of service. In catering services and banqueting it allows for the efficient transport of tableware between the central kitchen and event halls.

It is particularly suitable for contexts where the volume of handled dishes is high and where maneuvering space is limited, such as kitchens with narrow corridors or environments where mobility is an operational priority.

Choose this trolley when you need a robust and reliable solution for handling dishes in high-intensity professional environments. It is the correct choice if you operate in spaces where hygiene, corrosion resistance and maintainability are non-negotiable.

The main operational prerequisite is the availability of sufficient passage space for the swivel wheels (recommended minimum width 100 cm) and the need to regularly transport loads up to 120 kg. The slanted base makes the product particularly suitable where dishes require stability and protection during frequent transfers.

Compared to manual solutions (hand carrying) it reduces staff fatigue and risks of breakage; compared to automated systems it maintains operational flexibility and compact dimensions.

What is the difference between this trolley and a standard service trolley?

This model is specifically designed for the transport of clean or dirty plates and dishes, with a slanted base that prevents slipping. A standard service trolley usually has horizontal shelves intended for containers and food. The dimensions, capacity and geometry of the base are optimized for dishes, not for general food items.

Are the swivel wheels equipped with brakes?

According to the technical specifications provided, the trolley is equipped with 12.5 cm swivel wheels. Brakes are not indicated in the features. If locking is necessary for the application, check with the supplier for the availability of versions with parking brakes.

Is it suitable for environments with HACCP requirements and food certifications?

Yes. AISI 304 stainless steel complies with the requirements of HACCP protocols and European food hygiene regulations (Reg. EC 852/2004). The smooth and non-porous surface allows total disinfection. There are no elements made of non-food grade material on the contact surface, except for the rubber bumpers, which must be removable or easily inspectable.

What is the maximum weight of plates it can carry in a single trip?

The overall capacity of the trolley is 120 kg. The actual number of plates depends on the unit weight (flat plates weigh less than deep plates or bowls). With standard ceramic plates (approx. 400-500 g each), it is possible to transport approximately 200-300 plates per trip.

How is maintenance and cleaning performed?

The stainless steel structure and lack of crevices facilitate cleaning with neutral detergents and water. Dirt may accumulate on the swivel wheels; periodic inspection and cleaning of the axles are recommended. The rubber of the bumpers is easily inspectable and replaceable if deteriorated.

What are the reference standards for this type of equipment?

The trolley must comply with the EN 1990 standard (Safety of mobile equipment), the machinery directive 2014/53/EU and the occupational safety regulations of the country of use. AISI 304 stainless steel complies with UNI EN 10088-1 specifications. Always check the certifications provided by the manufacturer.
