The Pastry Parlour in Bath needed a faster, more reliable way to cover cooling racks of delicate cakes and pastries before they were moved to the shop front. Their previous method, using individual sheets of cling film, was time-consuming and wasteful.
"These covers have been a revelation. We just pull one over the whole trolley in seconds. It's cut our prep-to-display time down significantly and gives everything a much more professional, uniform look. Plus, our hygiene rating has never been better."
Mark Riley – Operations Manager
After implementing the covers, they reduced their daily wrapping and prep time by over 15% and eliminated product loss from accidental contact or dust contamination.
Ever tried to put a regular plastic bag over a bulky, square box? It stretches tight in some places and is loose in others. That’s the problem these trolley covers solve with 'side gussets'. Think of a gusset as a clever, built-in fold running down the side of the cover. When you pull the cover over your trolley, these folds expand outwards, like an accordion.
This simple design feature means the cover can easily accommodate wider trays that might stick out a bit, or unusually shaped items piled on top. Instead of stretching and potentially tearing, the cover expands to provide a neat, comprehensive fit from top to bottom. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in ensuring every part of your trolley's contents is properly protected.
Q: Are these trolley covers heat resistant? Can I use them in an oven?
A: No, they are made of polyethylene and are not heat resistant. They are designed for storage, cooling, proofing, and transport, not for use inside hot ovens.
Q: Will this fit my specific brand of trolley?
A: These are designed for universal compatibility with standard GN 1/1 racking trolleys. We always recommend measuring your trolley's dimensions (H x W x D) to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: How thick is the plastic?
A: It's a lightweight polyethylene film, engineered to be strong enough for single-use protection against dust and moisture without being bulky.
Q: Do the covers come on a roll or are they packed individually?
A: They come as one continuous, perforated roll inside a handy dispenser box, making them easy to pull and tear off as needed.
Q: Can I reuse them to save on costs?
A: We strongly advise against it. They are designed as a disposable racking trolley cover to guarantee the highest level of hygiene and prevent cross-contamination between uses.
Q: What exactly is a side gusset?
A: It's a fold built into the sides of the cover. It allows the cover to expand to fit over wider or bulkier loads without stretching or tearing the material.
Q: Is the material food safe?
A: Yes, the polyethylene used is a food-safe material, suitable for environments where it may have indirect contact with food.
Q: Is the Nisbets CC383 rack cover the same as this product?
A: Yes, this product corresponds to the Nisbets CC383 specification and is a direct, high-quality equivalent for that purpose.
