When your kitchen operates at full throttle, moving food from prep stations to ovens, or from cook lines to holding areas needs to be seamless and safe. Introducing the Bourgeat P061, a seriously robust double gastronorm racking trolley designed to be the backbone of any high-volume catering operation. Forget flimsy, wobbly racks; this is the real deal, engineered in France by Matfer Bourgeat, a brand synonymous with quality for professionals.
Built for the bustling environments of large restaurants, event caterers, hospitals, and school canteens, this trolley is all about capacity and strength. With 15 shelves, each correctly sized for GN 2/1 pans (or two GN 1/1s side-by-side), and an impressive 200kg maximum load, it’s ready to handle the pressure of a full service. The fully welded stainless steel frame means it’s not just strong, but also incredibly hygienic and a doddle to clean at the end of a long shift.
This isn't just a trolley; it's a strategic tool for boosting workflow efficiency. The heavy-duty castors glide smoothly across kitchen floors, and the two brakes ensure it stays put right where you need it for safe loading and unloading. If you’re looking to get organised, improve safety, and speed up service, this Bourgeat P061 trolley is a sound investment that will pay for itself in saved time and effort.
When you choose a Matfer Bourgeat product, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're investing in operational peace of mind. This Bourgeat P061 trolley is a perfect example of their philosophy. Beyond the impressive 200kg capacity and stainless steel finish lies a deep commitment to kitchen excellence. The fully welded construction isn't just a feature on a list; it's a promise that this trolley won't start to wobble, squeak, or fail after a few months of hard graft. It’s specifically designed to reduce the hidden costs of maintenance and replacement that often come with lesser models. In a professional kitchen where efficiency and safety are non-negotiable, having reliable workhorses like this means smoother service, less staff frustration, and one less thing to worry about on a busy night. It's the kind of long-term value that defines a smart kitchen investment.

The Grand Hotel in Cardiff was struggling to manage the logistics for its large wedding receptions and busy Sunday carvery service, with staff making multiple, risky trips carrying hot trays.
"Our old racks were wobbly and a real hazard. This Bourgeat trolley is rock-solid. We can load it up with plated starters or desserts and wheel it straight to the function room, saving so much time and hassle. It's made our banquet service far safer and more professional."
David Williams – Head Chef, The Grand Hotel
The hotel reported a 30% reduction in food transit time between the main kitchen and its ballroom, improving service speed and staff safety significantly.
You might see cheaper, flat-pack trolleys and wonder what the difference is. It's all about long-term strength and safety. Flat-pack models rely on nuts and bolts which, under the constant vibration and heavy loads of a kitchen, will inevitably loosen over time. This leads to wobbles, instability, and eventually, a potential safety hazard. A fully welded frame, like on this Bourgeat trolley, is constructed as a single, solid piece. Think of it like a welded car chassis versus a piece of flat-pack furniture – one is engineered for relentless daily punishment and will stay rigid and reliable for years, while the other will need constant tightening and will never be as strong.
