Product Overview

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.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

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.

Why a Fully Welded Frame is a Must-Have

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.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

No assembly required! Your trolley arrives fully welded and ready for action.
Before first use, give all surfaces a quick wipe with a food-safe sanitiser.
Test the brakes on the two locking castors to ensure they engage firmly.
Find a convenient, out-of-the-way spot for storage that doesn't obstruct fire exits or walkways.

Keeping It Going

Wipe down daily with a damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent.
For stubborn grime, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth.
Periodically check the wheel castors for any trapped dirt, hair, or debris that could impede movement.
Once a week, check the brake mechanism to ensure it remains effective and secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Racking Trolley

Not sure which trolley is right for your space? Here’s what to consider to make the perfect choice.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how many trays you need to move at once versus the floor space you have. A double gastronorm racking trolley like this is efficient but needs room to manoeuvre in corridors and tight corners.

Gastronorm Compatibility

Check your existing pans. This trolley is designed for GN 2/1. If you primarily use GN 1/1, you can fit two per shelf, but ensure that works for your kitchen's workflow.

Build Quality is Key

A fully welded stainless steel frame is the gold standard for durability and hygiene in a professional setting. Flat-pack versions can become wobbly and unsafe over time.

Wheel Type and Brakes

Look for heavy-duty castors with integrated brakes. Brakes are a non-negotiable safety feature for when you're loading, unloading, or parking the trolley on even a slight incline.

Shelf Spacing

Measure your tallest dishes or deepest pans. The 89mm gap here is generous for most items, but it’s always best to double-check that it fits your specific menu needs.

What Customers Are Saying

An absolute workhorse. We bought two for our catering business and they have been brilliant. Smooth wheels and so easy to clean after a messy event.

Sarah L. – Event Caterer, Manchester

Does exactly what it says on the tin. This is a very sturdy stainless steel gastronorm pan trolley that holds a serious amount of weight without any issues.

Mike P. – School Kitchen Manager, Birmingham

Great bit of kit, well made and sturdy. The only tiny niggle is I wish the wheels were a bit bigger for going over door sills, but on a flat floor it's perfect.

Chloe T. – Head Chef, Bristol Bistro
